Florida Voter Purge Will Continue, Defying Federal Warning
LP - If only Florida had a federal fort they could shoot at in Jacksonville harbor. They could call the Fort Sumter and bring back General Beauregard's descendants.Florida will defy a federal warning to stop purging people the state suspects aren't U.S. citizens from voter registration rolls.
Despite a Justice Department letter, objections from county elections officials and evidence that a disproportionate number are voters of color, Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner's office planned to continue scrubbing the election rolls, a spokesman said Friday. Gov. Rick Scott (R) ordered the search for potentially ineligible voters.
We have an obligation to make sure the voter rolls are accurate and we are going to continue forward and do everything that we can legally do to make sure that ineligible voters cannot vote, said Chris Cate, a spokesman for Detzner. We are firmly committed to doing the right thing and preventing ineligible voters from being able to cast a ballot. We are not going to give up our efforts to make sure the voter rolls are accurate."

(14,337 posts)1. These "ineligbles" are running out of time
to even prove they are citizens. Of course, Rick Scott, Governor Fraud, could care less about that. I wonder if local precints can just choose to ignore this purge list? Can the Feds issue an Injunction against the State?

when all 67 county elections supervisors have said they wont. What, is Scott going to try and fire or arrest them? Good luck with that.
