FLORIDA: VOTER RIGHTS AGREEMENT
by the Associated Press 7/4/2002

A database that led to the wrongful removal of names from voter rolls in the 2000 election will be reprocessed to look for names that should be restored, under an agreement in a federal voting-rights lawsuit.

The agreement could restore hundreds of names to Florida's voter rolls, and would be the first since the disputed election that the central voter files would be corrected for errors, lawyers said.

Five civil rights groups sued the state, several counties and the processing company about the registration problems.
