[h=1]Judge: Florida voter purge is legal[/h]


By WILLIAM BERGSTROM | 6/27/12 4:47 PM EDT
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a Justice Department request to block Florida’s voter purge.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ruled that that the state’s effort to remove potentially ineligible voters from its rolls is legal despite the looming Aug. 14 election, The Associated Press reports.

The Justice Department sued the state earlier this month over Gov. Rick Scott’s effort to identify and remove non-citizens from the rolls, arguing that the effort comes too close to the election and uses too imperfect a database to guarantee voters’ rights.

In a statement on his website, Scott said, “The court made a common-sense decision consistent with what I’ve been saying all along: that irreparable harm will result if non-citizens are allowed to vote.”

A Justice Department said in a statement to POLITICO, “We will review the written decision when it’s issued, and we decline further comment at this time.”
The state has asked local election officials to investigate the citizenship status of some 2,600 voters, but has yet to distribute a list of 182,000 voters — and won’t do so, according to a Scott spokesperson, unless the state can check the names against a Department of Homeland Security database. The state is suing for access to the database.

How does Florida purge its voters? Ask them to use punch cards to record their votes?

I don't know anything about how they purge but I do know Scott is the Devil. On the surface it makes sense to want only citizens voting so was Obama's challenge to it because they are keeping legal citizens from voting? He's not fighting for the rights of illegals to vote is he?

I'm against this if you can show how it keeps citizens from voting, otherwise I don't get the outrage.

the last purge was so bad that people who had identical last names but different initials were purged, no one knows the damage that purge did to the voting process in Florida.

Judges are bought and paid for just like politicians!

It isn't racist, it is stupid, it is vile, it is purposefuly inhibiting certain people from being able to vote. But the right, because they actually believe that only people like them should be ABLE to vote, think it is just fine.

Only people on the right have identification cards (driver's license, voter registration card, passport, etc)? I honestly don't get how asking for an ID card benefits the "right" and harms the "left"?

What the hell is the problem here? Am I missing something?

Down syndrome teen gets driver license

Anyone who cannot afford or cannot obtain supporting documents will not be able to vote.
Anyone who cannot get to issuing centers will not be able to vote - like maybe folks in retirement or nursing homes or those who don't have autos - typicaly if one does have a car then they already have sufficient ID. As I said, not everyone is in the same situation, but they are still citizens. The SCOTUS decision which makes this argument moot (I don't recall the name) showed that in the state - Ohio I think, examined, 40,000 people would be disenfranchised.

Now the equation is pretty simple, subtract the number of illegal voters who would be kept from voting from the number of legal voters ID requirements would keep from voting, if you get a positive number then you are pretty much fucking democracy in the ass. Repubs have little problem with this sort of thing.

I find it highly interesting that on the one case - global warming, conservatives demand positive, irrefutable figures before they will act to prevent, but in the other, Voter ID, they need no proof that even a handful of illegal votes have been cast before they are perfectly willing to be "preemtive".

"I got mine!" now fuck yourself, is the refrain Desert Dude. The fact is that the disadvantaged, the ones most likely to not have "proper" ID also most often vote Dem, the right knows this full well, Paul Weyrick gave a speech in which he laid it out, to paraphrase, he said, our chances of winning go up as voter rolls shrink.

 

[tranka32]

If your not registered to vote it is not easy to vote and your vote doesn't even count in the current election. As far as I know it is not easy for an illegal alien to vote; is it? I remember when I wasn't registered in my town to vote it took me at least 3 or 4 documents to prove that I was able to vote in that district and I had recently been in the US Army. I don't get how an illegal alien or someone that is not a US citizen is even able to vote. I mean you can't just walk up to the voting center, show your drivers license and go into the booth. At least where I am from you can't you need to be pre registered. I have no idea how they do it in Florida; does anyone?

No. Liberals just get pissed when millions of illegal aliens can't vote for Obama.

So you're saying the left is largely made up of indigent drug addicts unable to figure out how to obtain a legal ID?

k that's what I thought. I only want Americans voting in our elections.

I'm open minded enough to change my mind if you could explain HOW what you say is true. Don't dick around with insinuations and innuendos, I'm a little slow, just spell it out. Because if you mean there are people who are physically able to vote but not physically able to have their picture taken.. well no you don't mean that, surely. Seriously now, I keep hearing it's racist, why? I've worked in the medical field for decades now so when I tell you I've never met a citizen that didn't have an ID, that means 10s of thousands of people. Never, not once. Even some of the illegals we treat have ID.

I don't see this as a hardship.

I didn't have to show shit last time I voted, was pretty sad if you ask me. They asked me my name, then after scrolling down the paper work asked me to sign and gave me my paperwork.
