"One of these requirements under HAVA is called "the perfect match" and what that does is little known but it is devastating. A quarter of the voters in Colorado have just been removed from the rolls because of this--just this one scam.

So, I think it would be great if this list got around and more people boycotted these companies.

I'm making an attempt to promote the boycotting in the form a meme:
