.......Despite misgivings about Scott, a majority of Florida voters agree with him on the need to remove noncitizens from lists of voters.

By a margin of 54 percent to 35 percent, with 11 percent undecided, voters said they support the purge efforts.

Republicans overwhelmingly support the purge, 80 percent to 13 percent, while a majority of Democrats oppose it.

The purge of suspected noncitizen voters was halted last month, but it will soon resume. The state announced Saturday that it has gained access to a federal citizenship database that it says will allow for more accurate screening of the citizenship status of voters.

By a larger margin of 82 percent to 15 percent, voters agreed that people should be required to show a photo ID before they cast a ballot. Florida’s photo ID requirement has been in law since 2002.

What about those citizens that are registered in two different States?

It wasn't clear why Homeland Security changed course, and the department had no comment Saturday.

Hey Stevie, Maybe it was because another Judge ordered them to do so? Or just maybe you missed the story about Florida filing a suit against the Feds for access?

I am really surprised they gave Florida access but time will only tell because maybe something more nefarious is at hand, like the Florida information being wiped out before they send it? Electronic redaction. This bunch does not give up this easily.

I doubt that many illegals go down to a polling place and vote. But like 'the dead' they're swept up when dems vote the people who don't show up. In the old days it was done with an ice pick and hammer slammed on stacks of cards - to knock out chads.

When rolls are cleaned it'll be harder to catch dems cheating.

The state will now cross-check the names of Florida voters against a federal citizenship database known as SAVE, or Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements.

It wasn't clear why Homeland Security changed course, and the department had no comment Saturday.

Because Holder and the rest have finally finished converting all the illegal Democrat-leaning non-citizens on the list into citizens?

...because it's completely legal and sensible!

(which is why Obama opposed it)

Now the othe states need to do the same ASAP.
