U.S. judge blocks FL’s ban on noncitizen participation in voter registration
Florida Phoenix ^ | May 18, 2024 | Michael Moline

Ruling roughly six months before the November general election, a federal judge has declared unconstitutional a state law banning noncitizens from helping to register voters and ordered Secretary of State Cord Byrd and Attorney General Ashley Mood not to enforce it.

U.S. District Chief Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee ruled Wednesday that the law discriminated against noncitizens based on their status. He cited the harm the law inflicted on Veronica Herrera-Lucha and Norka Martínez, two of the plaintiffs in the case.

This article is from May of 2024 but it is pertinent now in view of the fact Florida is conspicuously ABSENT from the list of states who are recently in the process of successfully purging their voter rolls of non-citizens. The article only addresses the ruling on legality of non-citizens canvassing their communities for potential voter registrants. But really, people, does anyone doubt who the non-citizen canvassers are targeting to register? It ain't the Amish. Watch as Florida turns completely blue in November.

The court is interfering with how a State runs its elections.

"The court is interfering with how a State runs its elections."

State Legislators according to the Supreme Court are the only ones who can write and pass election laws. Another Florida Judge in 2000 gave Al Gore permission to conduct recounts in cherry-picked Democrat counties. And most of us are familiar with the hanging chad fiasco. George W. Bush counter-sued Gore, and asked the Supreme Court to fast-track his suit, which they accepted. From election night when Gore withdrew his concession, and sued for recounts, G. W. Bush's counter suit, and the Supreme Court's hearing the case, ordering the recounts to stop, and rendering their final decision, this country was in limbo for a month, not knowing who the next President would be.

“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”

“Veronica Herrera-Lucha and Norka Martínez,”

If these two POS are illegals they ought to be tops on the list to get dropped off wherever they came from on January 7th. No doubt they are getting payed big $$ from some leftist group and drug/or money or straight from some dem donor.

“the law discriminated against noncitizens based on their status”

Yes. That is the entire point of the law. Having the status of being a noncitizen means you aren’t allowed to vote. Go vote where you Are a citizen.

FL has already been purging ineligible voters, story from Jan. 2024 says over 1 million dropped. It’s an ongoing battle, but FL has some pretty tough laws requiring election officials to remove ineligible voters.

The principles enshrined/embraced/secured by our Constitution are universal and thus without borders per se. The application of our Constitution, however, has limits that extend only so far, namely within our (porous) borders. Between these two is the crux we are dealing with.
