Florida Voter Purge Yields Fewer Non-Citizens Than Officials Under Gov. Rick Scott Suspected

September 12, 2012 23:27:35

AP:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida's attempt to screen voter rolls for non-U.S. citizens is yielding a smaller number than state officials had anticipated.

The Florida Department of State announced Wednesday that it used a federal immigration database to verify 207 voters are not citizens. Earlier this year, state officials under Republican Gov. Rick Scott had said they suspected more than 2,600 voters were ineligible and had asked election supervisors to purge those on the list.

Doesn't this sound just like some other big idea he just knew was going to be worth the money? Oh, yeah, that's right, the drug testing of Welfare recipients debacle!

Ricky, just like Skeletor, none of your plans really work as you'd hoped in your cold cold heart!

2. Also, there is no evidence that any of those 207 would have tried to vote.
People who move out of state don't notify the election board that they are moving.

The election board does send mailings periodically to verify people still are at the last known address. However, people move every day.

So, even the 207 does not indicate a single case of attempted voter fraud.

Thanks, Skeletor, for wasting the taxes of the citizens of Florida.

I thought I heard somewhere that the one strong suit of Republicans was not spending taxpayer money foolishly. So much for that.
