The feigned outrage over voter purging is ridiculous. I sometimes wonder if libs teach their kids that cheating is fine if it's "for the greater good".

We all have to prove who we are to either get a job or get assistance. If you don't have one you apply for the other. It's unbelievable how gulible some people are.
What does any of this blather have to do with the matter at hand?
Oh wait.....it has nothing to do with anything.

If he's a citizen, he can prove it like everyone else.

By the way, since when do liberals give a crap about veterans' voting rights? Since never.

As one of your minions asked me once, "Says who?"

Because his name ends in a vowel.

The left has become more and more pathetic with their feigned outrage of things like this. Making sure of the integrity of the voting roles is a GOOD THING!

theatrical headline," The 91-Year-Old Decorated WWII Veteran Targeted By Florida Governor Rick Scott’s Voter Purge"

In any good exception report/review there is expected to be a per cent of error in the included data. to have no false positives means the program is ineffective and useless.

the value of any programmed exception report/review is determined by minimized false positives and zero tolerance for missing intended data.

Headline drama in OP indicates someone saw this guy was a decorated vet and decided to go after him for that reason.

you get a name and address and investigate from there. the idea that somehow the attempt to clear the voter list intentionally attacks vets or other categories of voters is misleading at best and insidious worst.

Failed attempt in OP to link institutionalized attacks with attempt to ensuring the sanctity of the vote.

Looks like some have decided that the error rate has pretty much rendered the whole exercise useless:


"According to the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting (FCIR), Palm Beach and Hillsborough Counties have suspended the voter purge in those counties because the information they received from Rick Scott’s officials was unreliable.
Hillsborough County received a list of 72 “non-citizens” in April. After receiving the notification that they were not citizens, five people came forward with birth certificates and a sixth person came forward with their passport, proving they are in fact American citizens."
