#3 "It is terrible," he says. "Combined with the fact that we don't have voter ID in Mississippi.

Not having vote ID is a sure fire license to steal. Nice 'Chief Executive' work Governor Barbour.

#5 Nah, counties need a better 'jury duty' system that is linked to the voter rolls. Everyone needs a notice at least once every two years. Getting a jury duty notice and becoming a 'no show' will do a remarkable job of purging those rolls or filling the county coffers with 'fines' that are due 30 days before election day.

#6 In a lot of the rural South the old voter rolls don't get purged. Historically I suspect it was to allow the dead white guys to keep voting against civil rights after 1965, though I doubt too much of that is happening today. Just inertia and now compelling reason to do anything. Our parish purges your name if you have not voted in a certain period of time - maybe 5 years? AND we require photo ID. We are a modern place.
