RE :”Five of Florida’s counties are subject to the Voting Rights Act, but the state never sought permission from either the Justice Department or a federal court to implement its voter roll maintenance program. Florida officials said they were trying to remove non-citizens from the voting rolls, but a flawed process led to several U.S. citizens being asked to prove their citizenship status or be kicked off the rolls. “

Voting Rights Act, that rings a bell.

The Republican congress under GWB in it's last year 2006 reauthorized the VR Act AS IS to try to get minority votes, of which they got none. Now Holder can use the law to force certain states to let illegals to vote, for Democrats of course.

During the debate over the 2006 extension, some Republican members of Congress objected to renewing the preclearance requirement (the Act's primary enforcement provision), arguing that it represents an overreach of federal power and places unwarranted bureaucratic demands on Southern states that have long since abandoned the discriminatory practices the Act was meant to eradicate.[8] Conservative legislators also opposed requiring states with large Spanish-speaking populations to provide bilingual ballots.[9] Congress nonetheless voted to extend the Act for twenty-five years with its original enforcement provisions left intact.[10]
Voting Rights Act 1965 and 2006

Great move Republicans! Don't get your hopes up if they somehow win this year.

Voting Rights Act, that rings a bell.

As I understand it, Holder claims that states can't remove voters from rolls 90 days or sooner from an election, according to that law, and maybe he is right, although it seems strange that you would not be able to do that if the voters were not legal.

The good news is that the general election is more than 90 days away, but I'll bet Holder will find a different excuse before then.
