Florida election official to Rev. Al: We won't let Gov. Scott purge our voters!

Florida announced Wednesday afternoon it would ignore the Department of Justice's demands to stop its controversial voter purge, but a state election supervisor threw another twist into the story, telling MSNBC's Al Sharpton soon afterwards that he and his colleagues won't play along.

Ion Sancho, Leon County's supervisor of elections, told the PoliticsNation host that Republican Gov. Rick Scott can "do all he wants of this partisan endeavor" but that Sancho would not participate in a process he sees as illegal, adding that he spoke for a good number of his fellow supervisors.

The majority of us "will not conduct any illegal activity," Sancho told Sharpton. "We're going to ensure our voters are protected."

Sancho said that the purge would not be successfully executed without the cooperation of supervisors like himself.

"We are the hands, legs, head, feet and eyes of this process," said Sancho. "...I was independently elected by the voters of my county and I work for them."

The purging of ineligible voters from the rolls is supposed to be a routine and daily “part of the job” for those employees in the various county elections offices.

Cubans can't legally vote in Miami Dade, or anywhere else in Florida.

Florida has many legal residents of Cuban heritage.
Most are USA citizens, thus they vote in elections.
Legal permanent resident aliens are not USA citizens, and as such, are not eligible to vote.
All visitors temporarily residing in Florida, foreign or USA citizens, are also not allowed to vote in Florida elections.

Florida also has many residents of Canadian, Haitian, Chinese, Mexican, New York etc heritage.
If they are USA citizens who declare Florida residency, they vote here.
If they are legal resident aliens or visitors, they are not allowed to vote here.

If anyone from any foreign nation is an illegal alien, they are not legally allowed to vote, drive, bank, or do much of anything in Florida, legally.

Is that all cleared up for you now?

Have I made Gov. Scotts position clear to you yet?

It is funny how liberals tend to huddle around all centers of powers like moths to a flame.

The majority of us “will not conduct any illegal activity,” Sancho told Sharpton

Election officials who knowingly allow their constituents votes to be diluted with fraudulent votes should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Election "officials" in my KS County are "hired" not elected.

I believe that is the

Actually, people who work in the elections also here in KS, do so on a voluntary basis, so it is not only not an elected position but it is also not a "right."

I think that all election activities are run by the state's Secretary of State Office but no matter they are subjected to the laws of that state regarding all matters and the FL Attorney General can merely relieve that person of his job, seeing as how he is promising Rev. Al that he'll make sure no one is refused from voting!

Here in the State of KS, we had substantial problems and our Republican Sec'y of State pretty much refused to do anything and his office told me on more than one occasion, when I reported that more than three families were registered in a number of homes (a few of the couples had died, moved to retirement homes and moved out of state entirely.)

I was told by that same office that in the case of deceased voters, "they needed to notify the Secretary of State's Office" so that they could move forward to remove their names from the rolls, otherwise, that office was not going to remove their names!

I asked the lady answering the phone, if she didn't consider it a bit difficult for those who were deceased to notify their office to remove their names from the polls. She paused a while, then answered, they weren't able to arbitrarily remove people's names unless they had been first notified that the person was no longer registered in the area.

Fortunately, our new Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, has forcefully moved forward to remove names when they mail out post cards to an address and they are returned for "no longer living at that address."

As people do move from area to area as well as state to state, keeping the polls up to date is a challenge, that's exactly why the state employees a staff to do just that!

Don’t forget Leon County is the home of Florida State University and we all know how liberal those smart college kids and faculty are. In addition, Tallahassee also has Florida A & M university, generally 98% minority Amish in population. This would account for the over infestation of Democrats.

Both colleges have been the home to major jihadist figures, antisemitism, black extremists, and anti-Americanism.

Now you know the whole story.

Another example of how important it is to have responsible & ethical people in any city, county or state post.

This man is openly defying election laws about whom is eligible to vote & he is the guy in charge!!!

I would like a county district attorney indict him for voter fraud.
