So far, all I can read, is that one person got notice he may not be eligible to vote, and has gotten his name back on the voter rolls.
The fact that suspect voter names tend to be minority, does not surprise me. Right here in Nebraska, there are illegals who 'share' a SSN, and the name that goes with it. All you have to do is look where most of the illegals come from, and work the law of averages.
Heck, in Florida, Mickey Mouse has appeared on voter applications (I get mixed results if I do a search if he was an actual voter)

To say that they are picking on Dems, because more Dem voters are kicked out, is not necessarily 'wrong' either, as dead people are more likely to vote Dem, by a ratio of 4 to 1, and getting all of them off the rolls, would naturally result in more Dems than Reps being purged. However, to be fair, in places other than New York and Chicago, from what I can research, the GOP has made big gains in getting dead people to vote for them, as well.
A snippet from here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080110071706AAjHKhP
"An analysis of state-wide records by the Poughkeepsie Journal reveals that 77,000 dead people remain on election rolls in New York State, and some 2,600 may have managed to vote after they had died. The study also found that Democrats are more successful at voting after death than Republicans, by a margin of four-to-one, largely because so many dead people seem to vote in Democrat-dominated New York City.
While it is a shame that anyone gets the letter, and has to re-register, it is also a shame that dead people are still voting, and there are also voters in multiple precincts.
I do think it is politically motovated, to do this on an election year, though. Why didn't they push to do this immediately after the last election, if they suspected something amiss, to give more time to verify names, and be sure the legal voters stay on the rolls.
