Federal Judge Rules Florida Can Continue Purging Illegals From Voter Roles

Hey Holder! You have to READ federal voting laws, so you can LEARN what they are, ya jackass.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – A federal judge has refused to stop Florida from removing potentially non-U.S. citizens from its voter rolls.

The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state to halt the purge, arguing it was going on too close to a federal election.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle said Wednesday that there was nothing in federal voting laws that prevent the state from identifying non-U.S. citizens even if it comes less than 90 days before the Aug. 14 election.

Hinkle ruled that federal laws are designed to block states from removing eligible voters close to an election. He said they are not designed to stop states from blocking voters who should have never been allowed to cast ballots in the first place. [...]

Update: “The court also said that permitting known non-citizens to vote would result in “irreparable harm” to eligible voters.”
