Florida complies with federal order to ease up voter requirements
Associated Press – December 22, 2007
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – The state of Florida will allow people to vote in next month’s presidential primary even if their Social Security or driver’s license number can’t be matched with government databases.
The move comes after a federal judge threw out a state law designed to prevent fraud. It barred voter registration when matches couldn’t be made.
Florida’s secretary of state says anyone who has been rejected because of the anti-fraud law will now have their voter application reprocessed. If the application is cleared, they’ll be able to vote in the January 29th Florida presidential primary.
About 14,000 people have had their applications rejected under the law in the past year. Critics had argued it could exclude people because of simple mistakes, like getting a driver’s license or social security number wrong on the application by one digit.
Deliberately not protecting America’s borders is federal dereliction of duty. The above article describes the opposite tactic, the wrongful use of federal force to keep things broken, stopping a state’s legitimate attempt to make its voter rolls more secure.
This is non-partisan federal thuggery: continuing to make things easy for illegals and other unqualified would-be voters, thus maximizing the number of poor folks demanding big government pay their way.
