TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida officials are now saying that nearly 200,000 registered voters may not be U.S. citizens.
Earlier in the week, state election officials announced they had identified more than 2,600 people who are in Florida legally but ineligible to vote.
The Department of State is asking county election officials to verify the information. Election supervisors are contacting voters and if someone is not a citizen, their name will be dropped from the voter rolls.
But an initial list drawn up by the state - and not widely released - shows that a comparison of voter lists and driver's license information turned up a list of nearly 182,000 people who may not be U.S. citizens.
State officials, however, note that some of those on list may have become citizens after first getting their driver's licenses. Still, the decision to screen the voter rolls for non-citizens could result in tens of thousands voters being dropped in the middle of a critical election year.
Many would be surprised at the amount of people voting, in every State, that are not suppose to be voting.
Convicted felons vote in high numbers and they have no mechanism to catch it.
Cate said the list of 182,000 people was drawn up by checking first and last names, date of birth and either a driver's license number, a Social Security number or an address. Most of the matches had identical driver's license numbers, names and birthdates. A state document shows that out of the nearly 182,000 identified that more than 172,000 were active voters, meaning they had cast ballots in recent elections or registered recently.
The state is taking the matches using other databases to try to confirm if the voter is not a U.S. citizen. Florida has asked for access to a federal database maintained by the Department of Homeland Security but so far the U.S. government has turned the state down.
What voter fraud?
Granted you're going to have false positives but that is a very large number and it's inevitable many of them are voting illegally.
Besides checking the voter rolls for non-citizens, they may also want to check for citizens registered to vote in two different states. Start with a cross check of voters in Palm Beach/Broward/Miami-Dade Counties FL and New York City.
Only 200,000? Heck, out here in California, the destination of choice for most of the nations illegals, we do better than that. Just before each and every election the word goes out into the illegal alien community; vote early, vote often, vote Democrat, vote Latino.
