"[73] It is important to note that this investigation did not include an examination of the rates of ineligible voters who did vote on Election Day as compared with eligible voters in Florida who were prevented from voting in this election. The scope of the investigation focused on allegations that eligible persons were denied the right to vote by errant policies and practices. The Commission heard sworn testimony and received subpoenaed documents that provided detailed information about these policies and practices. The Commission did not receive adequate information about allegations that felons ineligible to vote voted in the election to present any conclusions, findings, or recommendations about the issue into this report." -- from http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch1.htm#_ftn73

"In practice, this places the burden on voters to prove that they are incorrectly placed on the purge list. Mr. Leahy’s office sends a notice to the individuals requiring them to inform the office if they were improperly placed on the list.[76]

Many people appear on the list incorrectly.[77] For example, in the 2000 election, the supervisor of elections office for Miami-Dade received two lists—one in June 1999 and another in January 2000—from which his office identified persons to be removed from the voter rolls. Of the 5,762 persons on the June 1999 list, 327 successfully appealed and, therefore, remained on the voter rolls (see table 1-4). Another 485 names were later identified as persons who either had their rights restored or who should not have been on the list." -- from http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch1.htm (scroll down to IMPACT OF PURGE LIST)

Sorry, I'm too tired to analyze.

Thanks for the reference. This would seem to indicate that in Miami-Dade county alone, there were 485 people who were incorrectly purged from the roles, did not appeal, and could not have voted had they chosen to. Of course, that is only an interpretation of the statement.
