Florida Tells Holder to Blow it Out His A _ S

(Business Insider) — Florida state officials will continue their quest to purge purportedly ineligible people from voter-registration rolls, a representative of Secretary of State Ken Detzner said Saturday, in defiance of objections from the U.S. Justice Department and county officials who say the policy violates two federal voting laws.
On Thursday, T. Christian Herren Jr., the head of the Justice Department’s voting section, said the effort to remove voters appears to violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlaws discriminatory voting practices that disenfranchise minorities. On a list of almost 2,700 voters the state suspects are noncitizens, blacks and Latinos were disproportionately represented, according to an analysis by the Miami Herald, which concluded Democratic and independent voters are the most likely to be targeted.
Despite the warning, Detzner’s representative said on Saturday the state intends to go forward with its campaign. “We have a year-round obligation to ensure the integrity of Florida’s elections. We will be responding to (the Justice Department’s) concerns next week,” Chris Cate wrote in an email to Reuters.

Yeah...having your vote cancelled out by an illegal or dead person on the voter roles is the ULTIMATE voter disenfranchisement! State AGs need to look our for the legit voters interests.
Everyone going to the Democrat CONVENTION has to SHOW ID’S!!!! Hypocrisy SQUARED!
Florida is among a handful of states covered by the Voters Rights Act Section V, which requires areas with a deep history of racial discrimination — mostly Southern states — to seek approval from the Justice Department or a panel of federal judges before attempting to change any voting-related policy. Five Florida counties are required to abide by that law.
Does the Privileges and Immunities clause in Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution prohibit this (specifically referring to the Federal gov't's implementation of a rule applicable only to certain people and states), or does it prohibit merely a State from doing this?
I wish they would tell him this in these exact words.
Just a wild guess as to why Latinos might be a 'disproportionate' part of the suspected 'noncitizens' on Florida's voter roles.
Maybe because Latinos are the overwhelming majority of 'noncitizens', or illegal aliens in the US?
Just a guess.
WOO - HOO Florida!!!
Simple question, Holder.
Despite what that liberal turd Colbert says, reality actually has a conservative bias (see Europe's economy for proof).
That most illegals purged were hispanic is merely proving statistics right in a state bordering latino countries like Cuba and Haiti.
And liberals hate statistics that actually prove common sense correct (like minority crime rate, gun ownership effectiveness vs crime, etc).
Don’t forget who was Number 2 at DOJ when Waco went down. Janet Reno was just following orders from Billy Jeff and Eric Holder.
, according to an analysis by the Miami Herald, which concluded Democratic and independent voters are the most likely to be non citizens.
...Okay then. NOT belonging here to begin with. That’s just great. Whether lax or strict (in some states dumb clucks only need a utility bill showing a name), not being a citizen should be the major disqualification. Hey, NEVER EVER ACCEPTABLE. Frankly, since this such an awesome responsibility there should be a test before being allowed to vote...IMHO.
Good point. Every non citizen who votes disenfranchises, to some degree, the vote of a qualified citizen. Maybe the eligible voters could bring some sort of a lawsuit.
Really, it’s the only appropriate response to socialists.
OMG! I had forgotten that Holder was #2 at the DOJ at WACO time!!! Although Holder is ALWAYS #2 in my book....
Florida Tells Holder to Blow it Out His A _ S
Holder is nothing but a political hack. He’s doing what he was hired to do.
This man is dispicable. He flies in the face of everything that is right.
That’s what I was trying to get at, how can it be
descriminatory if the actual numbers of illegal
voters reflects a higher minority number of non
citizens voting?
You would think that anything that helps certify
the legality of our electorial process would be
welcomed by BOTH parties, that it isn’t only indicates
to me that one party has a vested interest in swaying
the system.
Great news to hear that Florida, at least so far, is standing up to the federales. I hope Rick Scott orders his people to hang tough, and continues to tell Holder “to Blow it Out His A _ S.”
Just sent Gov Scott a nice thank you note.
Yes Eric blow it out your African-American ass.
Just wondering,
If Mexico issued an arrest warrent for that POS Holder and he came to say Florida, could Florida officials have the bastard arrested and extradict his filthy sorry ass to Mexico to face charges relating to fast and furious??
Hey Boehner ya neutered punk, you going to bury fast and furious cause you are afraid to be called a racist? Ya candy assed punk!!!
