[Coco] New Scam

Here in Florida they passed the Motor/Voter Act in 1998. So now 
when you register your car, the local city and county knows where 
you are and you automatically are on the rolls for jury duty. Before 
1998 if you did not register to vote you never were called for jury 
duty. That gap was closed in 1998. 

Also if your auto registration address and voter registration address 
does not match then you are given a 60 day period to correct that 
before an election. If they are not corrected you are dropped from 
the voter registration rolls. Every summer each county canvasing 
board must verify the voters registration matches the drivers license 
address. In both 2000 and 2004 about half of those that were 
removed from the voting rolls fell under these provisions.
