Voter Purge Lawsuit In Florida Blasted By GOP Election Supervisor

"Even if Gov. Rick Scott's (R-FL) administration prevails in its new lawsuit against the Obama administration, his efforts to purge voters before November's election still faces a major obstacle — the county elections supervisors, including 30 Republicans, who have the ultimate authority over the voting rolls. Republican Ann McFall, county supervisor of elections for Volusia County, told ThinkProgress that the lawsuit does not have her support and she will not resume purging voters before the elections, regardless of the suit's outcome...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

It says a lot when a Republican disagrees with their leader.

it's a whole 'nother story when THIRTY Republicans UNANIMOUSLY say "Fuck no" to their leader.

Democracy is so 19th century. We should get with the times and just put elections on eBay where every large corporation can bid their price.

Republican pres and Rick Scott forget it Florida is so screwed. Rick Scott mom said, Rick is a good boy people fell for that line. Rick is a nightmare to Florida and we need him out of office.

Thanks to him, my house insurance has doubled. High insurance rates is not going to help our housing market, not one bit. Hell, I am paying more for my insurance than I am for my house!

Rick Scott is the worst thing that ever happened to Florida.

ok bro why don't you check out the racist abortionist on youtube who is a dem dnc donor - you'll love it. and the white christians who were calling him out are anti-abortion as I am, generally speaking, there are exceptions. Did you know that millions of black babies have been aborted over the past several decades? Did you know that the founder of planned parenthood had that as a specific goal. You would be a republican if you knew what hardcore racists liberals really are.

Because voting is more important. If there is a tiny amount of voter fraud going on, if the changes cause more problems than they fix, then its probably not a good idea. Its not racist in the way of "lets keep the blacks down". More so, "how do we stop groups that generally vote for democrats at home". And since the republicans are constantly pissing off minorities by saying stupid things, the less minorities voting the better (in general) for them.

It is, however, the only option that is in line with the Amendments to our constitution which grant voting rights. It's not practical, but then again this isn't the situation with which we are faced. You are preventing more legit votes than stopping fraudulent votes. This is clear if you actually look at facts.

So fuck you.

Ah, I see; well, if it won't mean taxing your patience too much, before I answer let me ask you: what do you believe will happen if no one is required to present an I.D. prior to voting? What is the purpose of demanding an I.D.?

IT'S THE 4TH OF JULY...GET A GIRLFRIEND AND LEAVE ME ALONE.
