Court: Irreparable Harm if Non-Citizens are Allowed to Vote
Today a federal judge rejected a Department of Justice request to issue a temporary restraining order blocking Florida from removing non-citizens from the voter rolls and rejected DOJs argument that the National Voter Registration Act prohibits removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls. The court also said that permitting known non-citizens to vote would result in irreparable harm to eligible voters.
Florida Governor Rick Scott was pleased with the decision, which is consistent with his position that Florida has an obligation to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls.
The court made a common-sense decision consistent with what Ive been saying all along: that irreparable harm will result if non-citizens are allowed to vote. Todays ruling puts the burden on the federal government to provide Florida with access to the Department of Homeland Securitys citizenship database. We know from just a small sample that an alarming number of non-citizens are on the voter rolls and many of them have illegally voted in past elections. The federal government has the power to prevent such irreparable harm from continuing, and Florida once again implores them to grant access to the SAVE database.
Nearly a year ago, the state requested access to a citizenship database, maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, that would allow Florida to more accurately identify non-citizens who are registered to vote. To date, the federal government continues to block access, thereby preventing Floridas efforts to ensure fair elections.
****Rick Scott had to fight Eric Holder for years to purge the non-citizens from the rolls.
The ballot counting in Florida elections is a shambles. The gubernatorial race is a shambles.
And Arizona is a tragic farce.
There is not mathematical probability that allows the republican governor to win by so wide a margin, while the senate is stolen by a narrow margin

Can the counties that are honoring the law make legal demands on those that are not? It is their vote that is being disenfranchised.

I’m convinced they have non-citizens voting all over the country.
Motor voter makes it easy to register and no one is stopping them from voting.
The Supreme Court clarified in Minor v. Happerset, a case which tested the right of female citizens to vote before the voting rights-related 19th Amendment was ratified, that even citizens are not guaranteed the right to vote.
3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment [emphasis added], and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had. Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
