Orlando Sentinel ^ | July 3, 2012

Posted on 07/03/2012 8:17:50 AM PDT by daivid

One woman says: “I was born and grew up here in Florida. I have voted since I was 18.”

A man says: “I became US citizen in 1994. I have voted for the last 12 years.”

Woman: “However, some Latino citizens have been getting letters saying that they have 30 days to prove they are US citizens, otherwise their names will be deleted from the electoral lists”.

Man: “With the exclusion, Latinos are the most affected and if Latinos don’t vote….”

Woman: “Mitt Romney wins. This purge, besides illegal, it is racist.

Ask Romney to stop the racist purge now.”

It is racist to only allow eligible voters to vote.

Another good reason to have voter ID.

She knows Latinos are most affected, because most illegal votes are cast by Latinos? How brilliant of her!!! I say she is racist for forcing non-Latinos to put up with illegal Latino votes.

They're cleaning up the voters registrations. A legal voter should be overjoyed by this. Every illegal vote voids a legal citizens vote.
In the process of cleaning out the roles, they're bound to have questions. If they had questions about my citizenship, I'd help them clear them up. I want a fair and just election as much as every else should.

Instead of complaining, she could be volunteering and helping these people get their problems cleared up. She could offer them rides, or help them find the proper papers. There's a lot of things she could do to help guarantee a fair election in 2012. Isn't that what everyone says they want?

Advertisement in Spanish should respond: If you are eligible to vote, no problem. If you are ineligible, don’t do it. To make it fair, play the message in Spanish, English, French, Chinese, German, and so on. End by saying this message does not discriminate between the living and the dead.

Yes it does. A recent survey shows 100% of the dead population does not own a tv or radio in their “homes”.

Why are they asking Romney to stop this? It’s Rick Scott that’s doing it.

Oh... that is right. They are trying to tie it to Romney to get the votes.

ALL the poor and minorities will have an ObomaTax card. In fact, there won't be any problem at all getting one. They'll be climbing over broken glass to get another free handout. THERE'S their voter ID card.

Because Oboma promised the American people they wouldn't be paying for illegals health care, no illegal will have a card, right? Without their ObomaTax ID, they wouldn't be able to vote.

OR, was "YOU LIE" perfectly justified? Did Oboma, once again, deceive the American people? Did he, or did he not, once again, speak with a forked tongue?

If she “knows” that “most illegal votes are cast by Latinos” isn't she guilty of supporting a felony?

She, by her own statement isn't affected.

Besides, having 30 days to produce proof that you a citizen and thus entitled to vote isn't denying anyone any right to legally vote. So, why the noise?

The state of Florida made a huge mistake by submitting flawed lists to the counties, which flagged even US citizens borned and raised in America.

Then the state claimed that reason for the "mistake" was the lack of cooperation from the Obama administration, since the federal government is not supplying updated immigration records to the state of Florida.

Well, if the state knew it had bad data, why start this mess? As of today, the purge has stopped. So all the state got was bad publicity.

So Move on is warning illegals to vote against Romney on Spanish TV because they won’t be able to vote for Obama like they did in the last election. Nice of Move on to give the criminals a heads up that the voting scam has been busted.

Last I heard, a foreigner must past an English speaking test before being granted US citizenship. So, what’s all this ads and debates in Spanish? Seems like a slap in the face to all US citizens.

Because it was time to drain the swamp. Too many illegals were voting.

The Oboma administration, who's DOJ is suppose to guarantee fair elections, like it's suppose to uphold immigration laws - refused to do it's job. What choice did Florida have? It's just like Arizona.

Florida is doing the best it can. If you get a letter, for the sake of a noble cause, correct the problem. Instead of condemning their good works, why not help them instead?

No offense intended, but you're letting the MSM set the agenda. Cleaning up the voters rolls EVERYWHERE is a great idea, and everyone should support it - both (D) and (R) despite the inconveniences.
