The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments from Detzner that the effort to remove suspected non-citizens from the voting rolls did not violate a federal law barring wide-ranging efforts to cleanse those rolls within 90 days of an election.

Limited ruling. That Rick Scott did it within 90 days of an election speaks to his lack of political savvy and perhaps general incompetence. Optics matter, and by doing this, Scott appears to be, unusually among politicians, an autist.

Leading up to the election, the Dims scheduled primaries and run-offs so that there was no window long enough to perform the purge.

Ah, what’s a little Florida Calvinball among friends.

And so yes, it ought to have commenced sooner. Still.

What keeps the judge from deciding that no purge can happen 90 days before or after a federal election?

If there are two federal elections in any year then the purge is void for good.

[Boogieman]

It’s a bad rule, since those 90 days prior to the election are when the Democrats are going to be registering fake voters, illegals, felons, etc, full tilt.

So, I don’t know, is it better to work around a bad rule and possibly lose the election, or flout the bad rule and possibly win?
