The brother that proves it's a "Bush crime family"

From Report: Jeb Bush Ignored Felon List Advice: (excerpts, emp add, + comments)

• Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ignored advice to throw out a flawed felon voter list before it went out to county election offices despite warnings from state officials ...
• ... Florida Department of Law Enforcement computer expert Jeff Long told his boss that a Department of State computer expert had told him "that yesterday they recommended to the Gov that they 'pull the plug'" on the voter database.
• ... state election officials "weren't comfortable with the felon matching program they've got," ...
• Bush's spokeswoman, Jill Bratina, denied allegations that the governor ignored warnings about the list. "It's also irrelevant because the list isn't being used," Bratina said Saturday. [A failed attempt at corruption does not mean no corruption.]
• "Once it became clear after talking to the secretary of state that there were problems with the list (in July), that's when we decided to end it," Bush said. [Not true. It was when the list was made public.]
