Yes, Florida Elections Have Had Their Moments, Like 200,000 Non-Citizens Possibly Voting In 2012

The ballot counting in Florida elections is a shambles. The gubernatorial race is a shambles. The agricultural commissioner’s race is a shambles. And the Senate race is a shambles. We’re all heading for recounts in these races—and the two counties that keep chipping away at GOP vote totals, Broward and Palm Beach, are the most liberal in the state. They’ve violated state law by not posting regular updates on ballots left outstanding.

A judge recently ruled that the counties violated public records laws—and the whole ballot counting process has been done in secret. So, yes, it’s right that Gov. Rick Scott, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate who has declared victory, recently filed a lawsuit over this nonsense. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has also joined the lawsuit.

Broward County’s elections supervisor, Brenda Snipes, can’t do her job. She’s destroyed congressional ballots in 2016, has forgotten to add amendments to ballots, and there are serial issues with mail-in ballots (via Miami Herald):

Following a court ruling in May that Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes had illegally destroyed ballots from a 2016 congressional race, the governor’s office announced the Florida Department of State would send election experts to Snipes’ office during this year’s election “to ensure that all laws are followed” and “to observe the administration of the election.”

.......

Republican Party of Florida chairman Lenny Curry defended the state push.

“To now learn that thousands of illegal votes could be cast across our state is chilling and threatens the confidence people need to have in our elections,” Curry said in a statement.” Any amount of fraud or illegality in this system is too much.”

In 2018, there’s still questions of credibility concerning these two counties since Broward recently mixed rejected provisional ballots in with good ones.

Court: “Irreparable Harm” if Non-Citizens are Allowed to Vote

Today a federal judge rejected a Department of Justice request to issue a temporary restraining order blocking Florida from removing non-citizens from the voter rolls and rejected DOJ’s argument that the National Voter Registration Act prohibits removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls. The court also said that permitting known non-citizens to vote would result in “irreparable harm” to eligible voters.

Florida Governor Rick Scott was pleased with the decision, which is consistent with his position that Florida has an obligation to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls.

“The court made a common-sense decision consistent with what I’ve been saying all along: that irreparable harm will result if non-citizens are allowed to vote. Today’s ruling puts the burden on the federal government to provide Florida with access to the Department of Homeland Security’s citizenship database. We know from just a small sample that an alarming number of non-citizens are on the voter rolls and many of them have illegally voted in past elections. The federal government has the power to prevent such irreparable harm from continuing, and Florida once again implores them to grant access to the SAVE database.”

Nearly a year ago, the state requested access to a citizenship database, maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, that would allow Florida to more accurately identify non-citizens who are registered to vote. To date, the federal government continues to block access, thereby preventing Florida’s efforts to ensure fair elections.

****Rick Scott had to fight Eric Holder for years to purge the non-citizens from the rolls.

The ballot counting in Florida elections is a shambles. The gubernatorial race is a shambles.

And Arizona is a tragic farce.

There is not mathematical probability that allows the republican governor to win by so wide a margin, while the senate is stolen by a narrow margin

So they found tends of thousands of non-citizens voting in 2012.

How many were taken off the rolls? We have no idea. How many new ones registered? We have no idea.

What to speak of ballots filled out by election workers, ballots destroyed, and so on and so forth.

Did Jeff Sessions cooperate with Gov. Scott and provide the DHS list of noncitizens camping in Florida?

Tweet him for us, if you may.

It is not today, Today.

That is from a search I did, and the date is not attached.

Not sure of the final outcome. It is likely from 2011-13 era.

Can the counties that are honoring the law make legal demands on those that are not? It is their vote that is being disenfranchised.

Elections are meaningless if the rules are going to be arbitrarily suspended.

It’s clear that rotten elections boards, counties etc care nothing about following any laws but only about fraudulently winning elections.

Until arrests happen and people get fired, nothing will change.

Might as well have a couple of guys arm wrestle and settle the elections that way.

No one outside Florida realizes the election lasted 40 days.

They had a whole day to count the early votes on Monday.

Easey-Peasey unless you lose and did not manufacture enough cheat votes under your desk.

And so the desperation continues. Lawyers get rich.

Thank you for that timeline.

Now read the final paragraph.

“Nearly a year ago, the state requested access to a citizenship database, maintained by the DHS, called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, that would allow Florida to more accurately identify non-citizens who are registered to vote.

To date, the federal government continues to block access, thereby preventing Florida’s efforts to ensure fair elections.”
