JACKSON, Mississippi — A second county in south Mississippi has agreed to clean up its inflated voter rolls after being sued by a conservative group (the ACRU) that said the county failed to purge the names of people who had died, moved away or been convicted of disenfranchising felonies.
In a consent decree filed this past Friday in federal court, Jefferson Davis County said that by Jan. 31, it will identify people on the rolls who are no longer eligible to vote.
