voter suppression

Tue, 06/12/2012 - 6:46pm

It's getting hot in heer-re-e, no?  The voter purge posse is not taking anything lying down, and neither is the Fed.  In this new leaderful age where everyone believes him/herself to be self-competent, watch for more wrestling as state challenges Fed, individual challenges state and more.  And as the comments show, both sides do and will not have any problem with supporters.  Guess the real question, though, is why if there is drama; it's gotta be Florida.  Anyone know what's in the water there?  LOL

Florida tries to purge from its voter rolls a reported 182,000 people it believes are U.S. non-citizens. The Justice Department says that's a no-no and will sue Florida in Federal court for violating two particular federal laws.  Florida fires back with a suit of its own claiming the Department of Homeland Security has denied them access to immigrant databases, so the state had no choice.  Here's what some people think of the political ping pong.

This "purging" effort actually listed a soldier who was deployed in Afghanistan -- it's a complete joke and needs to go away...
