Considering that Florida removed thousands of voters from their rolls in 2000 who should not have been removed, someone needs to keep an eye on the state. It's the federal government's job to make sure that individual states are not discriminating against their own citizens.
It is the federal government's job as it was designated in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Section V of that Act sets out which states MUST get a preclearance from the Feds before any change in voting laws can go into effect. Clearly, Florida under the direction of Gov. Scott, did not follow the law with respect to the five counties in this state. So how can a state voting law be applied to all counties except for the five which have been restricted in Section V of the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
Obviously, the federal govt is doing their job by sending Florida a warning to stop proceeding with this new law. If Scott defies this warning, seems like he'll be going to fed court pretty quickly.

Proof please.
In addition, it GOES WITHOUT SAYING that all such processes need to be monitored closely.
"...a Palm Beach Post computer analysis has found at least 1,100 eligible voters wrongly purged from the rolls before last year's election - the collateral damage from an aggressive and ill-conceived state plan to prevent felons from voting."

And WHERE does it say a state can't purge the rolls of NON-CITIZENS? You ok with them voting?
Can the democrats be any more transparent in their goal to enable voter fraud?
The state of Florida says they will continue and answer the DOJ next week. Let's take it to court.
This is about a new STATE LAW. That's the issue. the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Section V, lists the states and counties (five counties in Florida) in the U.S. which cannot apply new state voting laws at all, for any reason, without preclearance which is required by the Voting Rights Act.
The Republican legislature passed and the Republican Governor signed this law, and certainly the Governor's Office should have known about the restrictions which have applied to Florida since 1965; obviously he ignored the law.
So, yes, let's see what happens in court. I didn't write the VRA of 1965.
