Default Florida Governor to fight Department of Justice on voter purges

And in another state, as the Republican governor of Florida, the Medicare-thief Gov. Rick Scott follows his ALEC-plan orders to purge non-whites from the voter rolls before the fall election ...

With all the current attacks on women's rights and non-whites, it just makes you think it's the 1950's all over again in the GOP

Quote:
The Miami Herald is reporting that Florida Gov. Rick Scott will fight the Justice Department for his illegal voter purge. While the move to purge thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of voters from the rolls violates two voting rights laws, the state is defiant.

Justice has notified the state that it is in violation of both the National Voter Registration Act and the Voting Rights Act. The Voter Registration Act does instruct states to maintain clean voter rolls, but prohibits purging voters in the 90-day window before a federal election. The state's primary is in August, so they've missed that deadline. In addition, under the Voting Rights Act, the state is required to get preclearance for any changes to voting law from the federal government, because of the long history of racial discrimination in voting in five counties.

If there were any lingering questions that Rick Scott's motivation for purging voters,this should put it to rest. Former Secretary of State, Kurt Browning, who worked with Scott on cooking up with purge (and no stranger to voter suppression, having kicked minority and Democratic voters off the lists in 2008) has close ties to an astroturf group funded by, you guessed, it, David and Charles Koch. The guys who have committed hundreds of millions to defeat Barack Obama in November.

Quote:
Just before Browning was selected in 2011 by Scott as Secretary of State, Browning led a group called “Protect Your Vote Inc,” which was set up to oppose fair redistricting. One of the biggest checks to Browning’s organization came from the Center to Protect Patients’ Rights, which gave $100,000 in 2010. At the time of the donation, the source of the money was shrouded in secrecy. [...]

But as Republic Report exclusively reported last month, the Center to Protect Patients’ Rights is part of a universe of front groups financed by David and Charles Koch, the petrochemical billionaires, as well as several other billionaires, as part of an election-influencing effort. New reports this week about the brothers’ strategy indicate that they will now use this constellation of front groups to finance $400 million of a $1 billion campaign in outside money to defeat President Obama and congressional Democrats. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Mitt Romney’s Super PAC, and several nonprofits controlled by Karl Rove, will furnish the other $600 million.

The DOJ has a vested interest in squelching any attempt to rid the state of illegals voting.

That's Community Organizing 101 at Harvard.

Get as many votes by any means necessary, regardless of how unethical it may be. ACORN was his baby, wasn't it?

http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...stanley-kurtz#

Illegally register ex-cons and then pull buses into the ghetto with cartons of Newports aboard, use the same buses to go out into the fields and promise a hot meal to any alien field worker that got illegally registered to vote, by the same crowd.. etc.

So, the Governor of FL thinks that's a bad idea and want's to fix it, and you have a problem with that?

Wow.

ACORN was a hysterical wet dream of the right. All ACORN did was register voters. Seems all the nasty lies about ACORN, that resulted in the defunding, were just ... lies. And no, ACORN was not "Obama's baby".

If you still believe the gullible "hate the black guy" made-up and long-disproven crap from 2008, that's your problem.

And your completely ridiculous made-up scenario about buses, illegal aliens comprised of field workers, and cartons of Newports as vote buys has nothing at all to do with Scott illegally stripping registered voters off the voting roles.

No governor can remove your voting rights. People didn't die in vain for this basic American right. It didn't work for George Wallace, and it won't work for Rick Scott.

Scott is stripping people off the roles - using arbitrary discriminatory indicators such as race, voting party, address - then demanding they prove they are citizens to get back on. That's illegal. They are already legally registered voters.

He is doing it within 60 days of an election. That is also illegal.

The Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Acts were passed in 1964 and 1965, and they still stand as the law of this country. No matter how much somebody hates brown people.

The sad fact, especially in this state, is that universal suffrage is anathema to a certain political party. Their perfect world would be restricting voting to white male property-owners between the ages of 45-70 with a net worth of seven figures or more. ID not required; just tell them you're a good ol' boy.

They are in a panic, they know the oncoming demographic changes. This is the first year that "white" isn't the number one color of newborn American babies, and they are freaking out.

It's pathetic, racist and sad.

How about no representation without taxation?
