Thread: Florida attempts to correct voter fraud, feds say no

Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 6/8/2012

"So the Justice Department, it appears, has responded accordingly by using the power of the federal government to force states like Florida to keep illegals on the voting rolls [and] to do other things in other states on voter ID, like South Carolina, to really attempt to ratchet the election in their favor."

A former Justice Department attorney says purely political considerations have motivated the DOJ to order the state of Florida to stop purging foreigners from its voter rolls.

Recently the state of Florida discovered 53,000 dead people registered to vote. Florida also found non-citizens on the voter rolls, and Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner began the process of removing them. But the DOJ sent a letter to Detzner ordering him to stop.

J. Christian AdamsJ. Christian Adams is the former Justice Department Attorney who worked in the DOJ Voting Section and now writes for PJ Media. He says the Justice Department's request is way beyond the power of the federal government.

"Panic has set in in this administration over the last four weeks because of polling numbers showing things do not look good," he tells OneNewsNow. "So the Justice Department, it appears, has responded accordingly by using the power of the federal government to force states like Florida to keep illegals on the voting rolls [and] to do other things in other states on voter ID, like South Carolina, to really attempt to ratchet the election in their favor."

Adams says it remains to be seen if the Florida Department of State might fight federal authorities, as has been reported in the media.
