Is it just me? Does anyone else find this statement absolutely mindboggling??

The Justice Department ordered Florida’s elections division to halt a systematic effort to find and purge the state’s voter rolls of noncitizen voters.

Unless I am mistaken isn't the job of the justice dept to UPHOLD law?? To prosecute violators?

Apparently the "just-us" dept has a totally different function.

What the conservatives have conjured up is a solution in need of a problem. The incidence of voter fraud is .0004%. Considering that the supporters of these nationwide bills claim to be fiscal conservatives, what a complete waste of millions of dollars this is all to disenfranchise as many Democrat voters all to enhance the likelihood of Romney winning the election.

I was actually wondering where the US Justice Dept. gets the authority to prevent a state from managing it's own voting system without first proving civil rights are being violated. If I were Florida's secretary of state, I would continue the process and dare the Justice Department to do something about it.

You and all the conservatives who want to suppress voter turnout of the poor and minorities which undoubtedly benefits the republican party despite the fact that actual cases of voter fraud in national elections is extremely rare.

And the far right is pulling out the stops to disenfranchise as many poor, minority and even college age kids votes as possible to avoid a repeat if in 2008 when voter turnout was very high in these demographics which tend to vote democrat.

Voter fraud on the national level is extremely rare despite the rhetoric you're repeating here, you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater for a virtually non-existent problem, now if there actually was evidence of wide scale voter fraud then I might have a different opinion but there's not.

If Florida was tracking down illegal alien voters and trampling on the citizens in the process, they should be estrained from whatever act was offensive. However, the eliminating of voter fraud is their responsibility and they should ignore Holder's dictates and continue the purge. Holder has no jurisdiction!

This, by the way is the reason the unjust Attorney General has been retained in spite of his numerous afronts to the law. How this man was EVER vetted and approved by the Senate is a mystery to me. Then again, it was a Democrat Senate that confirmed him! Figures!

Holder is afraid they won't get close enough to be able to steal the election if americans turn out in droves. Really, how many Mickey Mouses, Dallas football players and dead people does he think he can use to elect his guy? Canceling out real Americans with non citizens is the only he can get close to keeping his job. His DOJ has already said that they will NOT prosecute any voting infractions committed by minorities. He said that when he first took office. I hope Florida stands up to his Chicago tactics and tells him where to go.
His disregard of the constitution has rendered him impotent as an official.

The DoJ is suing Arizona for immigration law.
The DoJ is suing states for the voter's ID laws.
The DoJ is stopping Florida to clean and prevent non-citizens to vote.
If I was from any other country but the USA, I would say that the DoJ wants non-citizens to vote in the next elections and wants to make sure that there are plenty of them voting.
But I am from this country and I do not think it. I know it.

Are you even aware of the letters sent to US citizens informing them that they must PROVE their citizenship?

For example:

"...Bill Internicola has lived in the United States 91 years and fought for his country in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, but according to the state of Florida he may not be a citizen.

Internicola received a letter in May from the Broward Supervisor of Elections stating that it received "information from the State of Florida that you are not a United States citizen; however you are registered to vote."

CONservative governments can only exist when the people they govern are uninformed or are excluded from the process...which is why the decision that the value of a person's opinion is directly proportioned to the amount of money they have (Citizens United) or that the will of the people doesn't matter in the process (Bush v Gore, ID requirements, or purging voter rolls).
