Gene ?
> It is only fair to recognize that it is girls who "let" boys be boys.

Say *WHAT !!!??*  

*Girls* are to blame for 'boys being boys' ? 

Peers snigger, fathers encourage, religious tolerate 
'boys being boys", 

- - - but it's the girls' who are at fault even
though they have hormones, too ? 

Gene, I am very sad to say I am rethinking the
high opinion I had formed of you ...

Audit finds Florida elections agency failed to properly watch felon database

By DAVID ROYSE
ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 22 - Florida elections officials were lax in their 
oversight of the company that created a flawed database of felons and dead 
voters, but there was no intent to disenfranchise anyone, an internal audit 
of the project found.

 

     The audit by the Department of State's inspector general, released 
Monday, concerned the state's now-canceled contract with the consulting firm 
Accenture, which was paid $2.3 million to create the database. 
       The list, primarily intended to help local elections officials purge 
voter rolls of convicted felons without voting rights and people who had died 
since the last election, matched a list of registered voters with other lists 
of deaths and criminal records sent in by other state agencies. 
       Secretary of State Glenda Hood's office abandoned the project earlier 
this year after acknowledging that 2,500 ex-felons were on the list even 
though their voting rights had been restored and that, due to a technical 
glitch, Hispanics were largely absent from the list. Hispanics often vote 
Republican in <>Florida, and some critics questioned whether there was intent 
to purge some felons, but not others. 
       While finding that the database was unable to match felons and deaths 
with some registered voters of Hispanic origin, auditors said that ''there 
was no evidence to substantiate that the division intended for such 
disparities to occur.'' 
       The main flaw in the project was that incomplete data were used, 
Department of State Inspector General Kirby Mole found. 
       Hood said she agreed with the inspector general's findings and that 
her office would take them into account as it created a new voter 
registration database now required by federal law. 
       ''There was nothing intentional, everyone was trying very hard,'' Hood 
said. ''There were just some management controls that were not in place. That 
is not going to be the case in the future.'' 
       The creation of the new database will also be contracted out to a 
private vendor, but Hood said additional checks will be put in place.
