no more ACORN they have to stop this (the democrats) how are the illegals going to vote democrat if they (the republicans) do not purge the voter registration rolls.
Is this not a states right to determine who votes in their state? If you have moved out of state,you can not legally vote by absentee ballot in the state you no longer reside,no matter who your master is.
In addition to the handful of questionable voters, hundreds of thousands of people have to reregister if they last registered before 1995 or voted by abscentee ballott. No question of legality there, just voter suppression. But Scott has to to it, his owners at Koch call the shots. And he has not had a chance to seal more millions to replace the 70 of proir thefts he used to buy the office last time.
When they send a letter to notify the potential voter,why or how is that disenfranchising voters?Your ignorance is really not bliss no matter what your master tells you.
It may have been primarily democratic in the beginning. I'm pretty sure that's not the case today,nor has it been for man y years. I think Sinclair Lewis that said when Fascism comes to America,it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. Much like the present day far right extremist.
Why is this a partisian issue? The law says no purges 90 days before an election, period. It doesen't say no purges by Democrats or no purges by Republicans, just no purges, period. Scott is choosing to violate the law and what should really be happening is the federal marshall should show up and arrest him.
The 90 day deadline is one thing, but, the real problem is that the suspect voter list is completely messed up.
Way back in January, when timeliness wasn't an issue, Governor Scott's Secretary of State, Kurt Browning, resigned, saying that the flawed list would incite a "firestorm of press and criticism."
FYI, far from being innocent, this purge was Kurt Browning's baby. Kurt also helped plan the Florida voter purge less than 90 days before the 2008 presidential election. Kurt's anti-voting reform group, "Protect Your Vote Inc," has connections with Koch. Kurt served as supervisor of elections for Pasco County for 26 years, he should know the law by now.
This is not an accident, this is an established pattern of criminal behavior.
NOBODY -- on this thread, or at the DOJ or the White House -- wants people on voter registration rolls who aren't eligible to vote. EVERY state "scrubs" its voter rolls between elections. But the National Voter Registration Act requires these "scrubs" to be completed 90 days before the next federal election. Florida's federal primary will take place August 14; therefore, Florida cannot legally "scrub" its voter rolls between May 16 and August 14.
If I remember correctly, Rick Scott took office in Florida in January 2011, so he had 16 MONTHS to "scrub" voter registrations. But instead of doing what every other state managed to do, he waited until the last minute, and now whines that the DOJ is forcing him to keep ineligible voters on the rolls. Boo hoo, Rick!
Your last sentence said it all Holder is making them keep inelligible voters on the voter rolls? Does this even make sense to anyone? why would the Democrats do this if they know there are illegal voters,unless they want to benefit from it?
