“It appears that Crosscheck does have inherent bias to over-selecting for potential scrutiny and purging voters from Asian, Hispanic and Black ethnic groups. In fact, the matching methodology, which presumes people in other states with the same name are matches, will always over-select from groups of people with common surnames.” Swedlund sums up the method for finding two-state voters — simply matching first and last name — as “ludicrous, just crazy.” This should be a grave concern for anyone who cares about the democratic process in America. And it is a direct result of the right-wing SCOTUS dismantling the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The GOP is brazenly hijacking our electoral system. -cc projects.aljazeera/2014/double-voters/
