A Constitutional crisis could be brewing between the state of
Florida and the Federal Government. On Wednesday - Florida Governor
Rick Scott sent a letter to the Department of Justice informing it that
the state will continue with its statewide voter purge effort, despite
warning form the DOJ that the state is in violation of the Voting Rights
Act and the Voter Registration Act. The Miami Herald reports that the
letter "dares the Justice Department to sue Florida."
Governor Scott claims the voter purge is necessary to ensure
undocumented immigrants don't vote in this year's election, however all
67 country election supervisors in Florida have pledged to not comply
with Governor Scott - since the purge lists his administration has
compiled are riddled with errors - leading to legal citizens losing
their voting rights. Keep an eye on this story.
