Florida TV station documents ineligible voters as DoJ sues to prevent state from purging rolls
American Thinker ^ | 3/13/14 | Lifson

WBBH TV in Ft. Myers, Florida has performed a public service with its investigative reporting documenting non-US citizens voting regularly in local elections. The segment can be seen below, but Judicial Watch summarizes it:

The segment focused on Lee County, which has a population of about 620,000 and Collier County with a population of around 322,000. The reporter spent about two months digging around the voter rolls in the two counties and the discoveries are dumbfounding.

In that short time, more than 100 people registered to vote in those two areas were proven to be ineligible by the reporter. A Cape Coral woman, eligible to vote in elections, was tracked down through jury excusal forms that verify she’s not a U.S. citizen. A Naples woman, who is not a U.S. citizen either, voted six times in 11 years without being detected by authorities. A Jamaican man is also registered to vote though he’s not eligible. The reporter obtained his 2007 voter registration form, which shows the Jamaican man claims to be a U.S. citizen. Problem is, no one bothers checking to see if applicants are being truthful.

How is 100 out of nearly a million a purge?

Voter fraud will never be dealt with until Republicans are seen to be benefiting from it.

The reporter found a hundred on his own; I dont think the reporter is working for the state, and he is not purging anything. He is documenting examples of ineligible voters who are casting votes.

The state wants to purge the rolls — it hasn’t happened yet. The Department of Justice is seeking to block the state from acting.

That’s nothing compared to what True the Vote found in Houston.

Just what is the justification for anyone to stop anybody from purging the voter roles. Tell the DOJ to go pound sand, whats right is right, either your eligible or your not, can’t get much simpler than that.

States run and oversee their own elections...

PURGE the roles and make the DOJ sue... Better to ask for forgiveness than permission....

Which is why Elijah Cummings is so unhinged about the Lois Lerner thingy. He is up to his eyeballs in collusion with the IRS attack on True the Vote.

The military should travel to Washington and Escort the DOJ out of the building. They are purely corrupt.

Yup..he's getting his corrupt ass handed a complaint by Catherine Engelbrecht...

I just hope one day all this crap will be exposed and these people are at least be shamed enough to shut their pie holes...

I know NOBODY is going to prison...
