The Battle Royal begins in Florida. In this corner we have Governor Rick Scott, who wants to purge the Florida Voting Roles of 182,000 SUSPECTED illegal voters.
In this corner we have the United States Federal Government, who says that this is an attempt at voter suppression. The Department of Justice has ORDERED, the state of Florida to stop purging its voter roles in this fashion.
The Justice Department said it will sue Florida in federal court for
violating two federal laws that prevent states from suppressing voters.
The state will be subject to "enforcement action," the agency said in a
curtly worded letter.
Hours earlier, Florida filed a lawsuit of its own against the federal
government. Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who oversees elections, sued
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, accusing the agency of
denying access to a federal database with information about immigrants.
The lawsuit claims the federal agency forced the state to run afoul of
at least one of the two federal voting laws the Justice Department
accuses it of flouting.
So Whose side are you on: The State of Florida and Rick Scott or the Federal government Department of Justice?

JP 2012/06/12 13:15:15I support Rick Scott in the voter Purge
A jury from Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, deliberated for 13 hours before convicting Republican Secretary of State Charlie White on six felony charges. Among other things, White was accused of lying about his address on voter registration forms.
hmm, another question is "Do you trust eric holder to be impartial?"
IF you are DEAD .. if you're ILLEGAL (NOT a citizen) ..
then yes, PURGE them from the Voter Rolls asap ..
Voter fraud IS a concern, it DOES happen and I personally am glad Rick Scott is doing what is unpopular in order to make sure FL doesn't allow people to vote who shouldn't. What's the point of voting at all if our own government allows the process to be corrupted?
for illegal immigrants, Residents of Greenlawn and characters at Disneyland
having a vote. Ever illegal vote nullifies a legitimate vote of the opposition,
and that is Un American. I would hope every American would want a fair
election.
