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.

That too is talking about 2012. If you click on the NBC link in the by line you will see that it links to an NBC article from 2012. She’s being a little misleading, and that does no one any good to be honest.

I’m convinced they have non-citizens voting all over the country.
Motor voter makes it easy to register and no one is stopping them from voting.

Floriduh requires a photo ID in order to vote, but does NOT require that the ID prove citizenship. Solution: show proof of citizenship the first time you register. Surrounding countries and even India do!

[Amendment10]

Regarding the idea of non-citizens having the power to vote versus Democratic “trademark” vote-stacking, please consider the following.

The Supreme Court clarified in Minor v. Happerset, a case which tested the right of female citizens to vote before the voting rights-related 19th Amendment was ratified, that even citizens are not guaranteed the right to vote.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment [emphasis added], and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had.” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
