Or could it be that his past accomplishments, namely running a company involved with the nation's BIGGEST defraud of medicare, enticed YOU to vote for him. Birds of a feather....

I'll tell you why. Because they don't really care about that. They are using the pretense of voter registration to gain access to the federal list of ALL illegal aliens. This request is the central aspect of why their requests to DHS and DOJ were denied. This request is included in the email chain of emails that they released to the media. No, they didn't want to just check 2000 names of non-citizens on the voter rolls... They are using "voter fraud" as a pretext to gain information that would support their own backwards anti-immigration policy. But as to the 180,000 number, even Republican Kurt Browning walked away from that number and called it inaccurate. He said it was not a list that he could "hang his hat on." Couple that with the fact that the county SOEs did their purge already in 2011 and Rick Scott is personally driving the voter purge during an election year, SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY FISHY IN TALLY. Multiple Republican county SOEs have come out and pointed the finger at Rick Scott for not only the poor accuracy of their list but because of the TIMING of the purge. REPUBLICAN SOEs are calling the timing of the purge POLITICAL and PARTISAN. Sadly, dead-ender Republicans would rather make a major issue out of a handful of illegal voters than allow actual citizens to vote. Where is the passion FOR the American citizens' right to vote? All your passion is dedicated to PREVENTING people from voting. Why the repressive anti-voting and anti-registration measures followed immediately by a partisan and illegal purge? Rick Scott's administration has raised more questions about its conduct than anything else in this whole fiasco.

Rick Scott’s administration has raised more questions about its conduct than anything else in this whole fiasco.

Coulda swore I read somewhere that at least four non-citizens have already ADMITTED having voted...some more than once. And as for you, "Stop the Purge," they DID check the citizenship, genius. That's where the 182,000 came from... So far, only 2,700 are under review, with at least 1,500 in doubt. No evidence, eh?

Apparently, he is only concerned with purging a special group of voters, and they are NOT illegals. You are very naive. Many Floridians are also concerned with fairness in voting issues and will make certain that ALL our citizens retain the rights our brave soldiers fight and die for in foreign countries. @whasup: There is absolutely NO evidence that illegals have been voting in this state, although our governor has done nothing to prevent illegals from getting every other kind of benefit here; in fact, if he had done so, he would not have needed the police, firefighters, teachers and nurses to make up for our sorry economy.

But none of that should be used as an excuse to allow illegals to vote, as has been happening. Unfortunately, many Democrats--like the previous commenters here--don't mind illegals voting. That suggests they believe they will need illegal votes to win!

They know they must pull every evil, unethical, illegal trick in the book in order to win. They will even take the chance of purging a few Republican voters along the way because Democratic voters far outnumber them. But they ARE going to lose in November, and NOTHING they do will stop it; in fact, the GOP will lose more support than ever due to these kinds of anti-American ploys.Many decent Republicans and Independents don't like this kind of deception. Scott is unethical enough but not smart enough to win this game. He is losing ALL of his attempts at destroying Florida's middle class. Firefighters, teachers, police, nurses and everyday workers built this country. It will take a hell of a lot more than Rick Scott to take us down!

The big takeaway from this latest article is that Rick Scott was caught flat-footed doing something illegal and now they are changing course. That is good. The purges MUST NOT BEGIN AGAIN until the DOJ signs off on their legality. Period. End of story. Well, whatever.
