NPR sounds reasonably reliable, although leaning to the left on bias. I think it is important to check the facts, and I wish that our government would do it.
@4meAndyou Somebody else covered the story as well, if I recall a little less prestigious than NPR. But I'll bet the Statesman will run something on it as well, since it's really Texas politics, which can be pretty contentious without regard to parties.

@MistyCee We can check them out.
@4meAndyou if that's what floats your boat. I'll try and keep an eye out for this stuff, but I don't live in Texas anymore and my guess is that this story will continue to develop as they try to figure out what to do with the names on the list and how to purge the voter rolls.
