You need to know this. Get your lawsuits ready - the state of
Florida announced on Monday that it is filing a lawsuit against the
Department of Justice to gain access to a federal database of
undocumented immigrants so the state can continue its illegal purge of
Democratic voters. In response, the Department of Justice said it is
suing the state of Florida for violating the Voter Registration Act and
the Voting Rights Act by continuing its voting purge after the DOJ
demanded the state stop last week.
Several county election supervisors in Florida - many of them
Republicans - have come out against Governor Rick Scott's lawsuit -
arguing that it's just an effort by the Governor and Secretary of State
to improve their image. And every single local country election
supervisor has refused to comply at a local level with Governor Scott's
purge. A new poll shows a majority of voters in Florida oppose Governor
Scott's purge - and his own approval rating has plummeted to 31%.
But Governor Scott knows what the rest of the Republican Party
knows - and that's that polls don't matter - votes matter. And if
enough Democratic voters can get kicked off the rolls - then Mitt Romney
will win in November - and Governor Scott will be re-elected a few
years after.
