DOJ to Florida: Stop Removing Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls
3rd June 2012
After all, Obama’s votes have to some from somewhere.
The Department of Justice has ordered the State of Florida to stop removing non-citizens from its voter rolls, the Miami Herald reports. The DOJ sent a letter to Florida officials Thursday night expressing concern the state’s clean up was violating the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which protects minorities, and the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which governs voter purges.
Oh? Did we get a sudden influx of African immigrants that didn’t make it in to the news?
Florida is deciding whether to fight the DOJ on its interpretation of the law. The state claims they were “stonewalled” for nine months by the administration and specifically names the Department of Homeland Security as being uncooperative. The DHS has data on citizenship but refuses to share that database information with Florida. As a result, the state has tried to make these determinations based on its own resources.
Your tax dollars at work.
