In Florida, Scott Administration Vows To Accelerate Voter Purge: ‘There Will Be More Names’
By Judd Legum on May 30, 2012 at 9:13 am
The massive voter purge order by Governor Rick Scott in Florida has been plagued with errors, resulting in election officials notifying hundreds of a few eligible U.S. citizens that they are ineligible to vote.
In response, the Scott administration has vowed to intensify their efforts to remove illegally registered voters from the rolls.
Initially, the state created a list of over 180,000 purported “non-citizens†by comparing their list of registered voters to the state motor vehicle database. The state forwarded about 2700 names from that list to local officials to remove from the rolls. Yesterday, in the face of mounting problems with the limited effort, Scott administration officials made it clear they were just getting started:
Chris Cate, a spokesman for the state Division of Elections, defended the state’s actions. “It’s very important we make sure ineligible voters can’t cast a ballot,†(my bold) he said in an email to the Herald on Tuesday.
He said the state continues to identify ineligible voters, saying the state Division of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has agreed to update information using a federal database that the elections division couldn’t access directly.
“We won’t be sending any new names to supervisors until the information we have is updated, because we always want to make sure we are using the best information available,â€(my bold) Cate wrote. “I don’t have a timetable on when the next list of names will be sent to supervisors, but there will be more names.â€

Nice source of unbiased information ya got there, Babs.
I would think the DUmpmonkeys would be happy to see this happen. Makes it harder for the Repubs to steal the election.

10. Where the hell is the DOJ?
Or anybody else? Or are they just going to let the repigs steal another one in FL?
Why would DOJ get envolved in state business?
After all, they're jus purging the roles of illegal Repug voters that stole the election last time.

12. Repubs don't even care how obvious it is that they're cheating
because they'e gotten away with it many times before. It's gotta stop, reporters must do their jobs.
Removing ineligible voters from the rolls is cheating.

30. They might not be able to vote . . .
. . . but they can protest. Send 180,000 protesters over to Rick Scott's lawn.
This is being done with a tremendous amount of high-handedness.
Please do, makes it easy for INS.
Oops, didn't think of that, did you?

On and on they went.
