Two Years Too Late?

The Washington Post reports today that the "Justice Department...will file suit in three Florida counties charging voting rights violations in the 2000 presidential election." About the only details revealed were that the "allegations include improper purges of voter rolls, 'disparate' treatment of minorities in the voting process, failures to provide required voter registration material in certain public places and inaccessible balloting for disabled voters."

Geesh, those are exactly the same things people were complaining about 2 years ago (although they were told, on multiple occasions, to either: shutup, stop whining, or stop lying). I suppose speculation is inappropriate, but I'm curious if the "purges of voter rolls" cited has anything to do with Greg Palast's reporting on the Choicepoint scandal.
