    Florida Governor Rick Scott To Sue Obama Administration Over Illegal Alien Voters

    Florida to sue DHS in voter registration battle

    By Jonathan Easley - 06/11/12 05:14 PM ET
    The Hill

    Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) said he will sue the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to move forward with his controversial attempt to purge the voter rolls in his state of ineligible voters.

    “I have a job to do to defend the right of legitimate voters,” Scott told Fox News on Monday. “We’ve been asking for the Department of Homeland Security’s database, SAVE, for months, and they haven’t given it to us. So this afternoon, we will be filing a lawsuit, the secretary of State of Florida, against the Department of Homeland Security to give us that database. We want to have fair, honest elections in our state and we have been put in a position that we have to sue the federal government to get this information.”



    Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner produced the lawsuit, filed in Washington, D.C. district court on Monday, shortly after, along with a statement.

    “For nearly a year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has failed to meet its legal obligation to provide us the information necessary to identify and remove ineligible voters from Florida’s voter rolls,” Detzner said. “We can’t let the federal government delay our efforts to uphold the integrity of Florida elections any longer. We’ve filed a lawsuit to ensure the law is carried out and we are able to meet our obligation to keep the voter rolls accurate and current.”

    Last week, the Department of Justice demanded Florida stop the voter-roll purge, saying it violated the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and was reliant on faulty Department of Motor Vehicle records to determine who is eligible to vote.

    The Scott administration responded with a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder saying it would continue the voter-roll purge, and is now seeking the DHS federal database as a part of that push.

    Shortly after Scott's announcement, the DOJ responded with a letter to Detzner saying it was launching a suit of its own against the state.

    Late Monday, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez said in a letter to Detzner that “I have authorized the initiation of an enforcement action against Florida in Federal Court.”

    “One of Congress’s concerns in enacting the protections of the VRA and NVRA, and one of the Department’s concerns in enforcing federal law as enacted by Congress, is ensuring that state efforts to find and purge ineligible persons from voter registration lists do not endanger the ability of eligible U.S. citizens to register to vote and maintain their voter registration status,” the letter read in part.

    Republicans argue that state voter registration rolls are filled with noncitizens and others that are ineligible to vote. Democrats argue that the GOP is trying to strip voting rights from groups that tend to vote Democratic, and that there are only a handful of cases of voter fraud of the kind the GOP seeks to root out.

    Any Florida resident that is eligible to vote that is purged from the voter rolls would have to verify their citizenship in order to be allowed to vote.

    The lawsuits reignited an issue that on Monday, the Miami Herald said was “all but over.”

    “The 67 county elections supervisors — who have final say over voter purges —are not moving forward with the purge for now because nearly all of them don’t trust the accuracy of a list of nearly 2,700 potential noncitizens identified by the state’s elections office,” the Miami Herald reported. “The U.S. Department of Justice has ordered the state to stop the purge.”

    Scott is a Tea Party favorite who came into office in the 2010 wave election, but has seen his favorability rating plummet into the low 30s since taking office. The lawsuit could spark another heated election-year clash in a battleground state, similar to the Democratic attempt to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) after he stripped public workers of their collective bargaining rights.

    Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Suing Florida to Keep Foreigners on Voter Rolls

    June 12, 2012 - 5:37 pm - by J. Christian Adams


    The DOJ filed a complaint against Florida today to stop Florida from removing ineligible non-citizens from the voter rolls. (Yesterday DOJ, disgracing long-established tradition, leaked this impending news to a sycophantic blogger.) Florida has already discovered noncitizens who voted illegally in previous elections.

    The lawsuit filed today seeks to stop Florida from purging non-citizens from Florida voting rolls. No word on whether Eric Holder’s Justice Department will be filing criminal charges against the foreigners who illegally registered to vote. Priorities lie elsewhere.

    Let’s meet Jenigh Garrett, the radical DOJ Voting Section lawyer who filed the lawsuit today to stop Florida from removing non-citizens from the voter rolls. She is a long-time opponent of state election integrity laws, as are so many of the recent hires exposed by the PJ Media Every Single One series. From the report:

    Jenigh Garrett


    Jenigh Garrett: Ms. Garrett worked for approximately five years as an assistant counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund (LDF), where she worked on voting-related litigation. She co-drafted the NAACP LDF’s amicus brief in Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections, claiming that voter ID laws are unconstitutional (a position the Supreme Court rejected in an opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens).


    Garrett also was a member of the organization’s litigation team in Hayden v. Paterson, arguing that felon disenfranchisement laws violate the Voting Rights Act (a position the Second Circuit rejected). She is a member of the American Constitution Society and recently gave a presentation at Yale Law School on “The Future of Black Legal Scholarship and Activism.” Although DOJ’s FOIA shop notably redacted her other activities on her resume, perhaps legislators in Virginia can ask her about them: she is the redistricting point of contact for the Commonwealth.
    (Read at PJ Media about another lawyer on the complaint, Elise Shore).


    I describe in detail in Injustice how the radical anti-election integrity agenda of the Left is now burrowed into the Voting Section at the Justice Department advancing this agenda using your tax dollars. Now these lawyers are perverting Section 8 of Motor Voter, a provision designed to fix the problems in Florida, not preserve them.


    Two items of note. In the complaint, the DOJ did not bring the threatened case under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. DOJ claimed in a letter that the voter purge procedure had not been precleared by DOJ under the Voting Rights Act. People familiar with Florida’s election procedures tell me that threat was baseless, that all of the laws and rules had been precleared.


    Lastly, PJ Media has been reporting for two years how the Eric Holder DOJ refuses to bring Section 8 cases under Motor Voter to force states to clean up their voter rolls. Indeed, I first broke news about these corrupt instructions in July 2010, instructions which DOJ has never specifically denied, because they can’t. A former Justice Department official tells me tonight it is “deliciously ironic that the first and only NVRA Section 8 case brought by the Justice Department is one seeking to block the removal of ineligible voters.”

    I’m usually a fan of delicious irony, but this latest outrage from Obama’s embattled attorney general marks a new corrupt low, even for him.

    Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Forcing Florida to Keep Foreigners on the Voter Rolls


    June 1, 2012 - 12:23 pm -
    byJ. Christian Adams

    Yesterday, Eric Holder’s Voting Section ordered Florida to stop purging foreigners from the voter rolls. Two weeks ago, Florida found 53,000 dead voters registered to vote. Florida has also found non-citizens on the voter rolls and Secretary of State Ken Detzner has started the process of removing them.

    Not so fast, says Eric Holder’s DOJ.

    In a letter to Detzner, the DOJ says to stop removing foreigners from the rolls. The Voting Section makes a dubious argument under Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act, a law the Obama administration has refused to enforce because of ideological opposition. The letter notes that Elise Shore is the attorney behind the letter.



    Elise Shore

    Recall that PJ Media produced the Every Single One series that exposed the partisan DOJ hiring practices and the radicalism of the DOJ Civil Rights Division lawyers hired by the Obama administration.

    What do we know about Elise Shore from the installment about the Voting Section?

    Elise Shore. Ms. Shore came to the Voting Section by way of the “Southern Coalition for Social Justice,” where she worked as a legal consultant focusing on “voting rights, immigrant rights, and other civil rights and social justice issues.” The far left-wing positions of this group are nicely summarized on its website.

    Our work on immigrant rights has both a legal and an advocacy component. We represent individual clients in immigration cases, and we also work with coalitions to address immigration policy.
    We are particularly concerned about local law enforcement agency cooperation with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through 287(g) agreements and "Secure Communities" programs. We believe that these programs inevitably lead to racial profiling and targeting of immigrants and have a severely detrimental effect on public safety and community well-being.


    To learn more about specific immigrant rights projects and cases, click on the titles to the right, under "Immigrant Rights" in the "Areas of Work" list.

    From the Southern Coalition for Social Justice wesite - I wll post no link


    Ms. Shore also made a $1,000 contribution to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

    Before joining the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, she worked for more than two years as a Regional Counsel for MALDEF [Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund].

    There, she was an outspoken critic (SEE BELOW) of Georgia’s voter ID law and well as its proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration (which, incidentally, have been found to be non-discriminatory by a federal court) and described how heartened she was that the Civil Rights Division had objected to the registration law under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. But her joy must have been fleeting: the Division later capitulated and withdrew its objection after Georgia filed a federal declaratory judgment action. It will be interesting to see if Shore can put her politics to the side in her role as the Voting Section’s point of contact for all redistricting submissions in the state of Florida.

    It looks like Ms. Shore wasn’t able to set aside MALDEF-style radicalism, even after
    she started working for the taxpayers of the United States. Sadly, this private radicalism has metastasized into radical open-borders public policy.

    Not only does the DOJ stop states from enforcing their laws pertaining to illegal immigration, the DOJ is forcing Florida to keep non-citizens on the voter rolls. We have entered strange and dangerous times.

    Feds rip Georgia voter system

    U.S. Justice: Citizenship checks flawed, racial.Ga. secretary of state defends process that riles immigrant groups.

    By Aaron Gould Sheinin
    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


    Tuesday, June 02, 2009


    As a coalition of pro-immigration groups rallied at the state Capitol on Monday, Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel was reacting to a U.S. Justice Department repudiation of her system of verifying citizenship of voters.


    In a six-page letter issued last week, and released Monday, Justice Department lawyers said Handel’s office had created a system that “does not produce accurate and reliable information and that thousands of citizens who are in fact eligible to vote under Georgia law have been flagged.”


    Handel was not pleased. The decision, she said, “shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections.”


    Handel and her aides created the system in 2007 under the requirements of the federal Help America Vote Act. The law requires states to verify a voter’s identity at the time of registration, but not necessarily to verify citizenship. In creating the system, Handel’s office extended the verification process to include citizenship —- something the Justice Department said was “discretionary on the state’s part.”

    But the system that was created, the federal lawyers found, was flawed and of the 7,000 individuals flagged as potential “non-citizens,” more than 50 percent were actually U.S. citizens.


    Furthermore, the department found, those flagged as non-citizens were overwhelmingly black, Asian or Hispanic.


    “These burdens are real, are substantial and are retrogressive for minority voters,” Loretta King, the acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a letter to the state.


    The ruling bars the state from continuing the citizenship verification, although there is some dispute as to whether the original verification for identification can continue.


    Matt Carrothers, a spokesman for Handel, said he could not respond to King’s contention that minorities were more likely to be flagged because the department would not reveal its methodology. But, he said, there was a significant increase in voting among African-Americans and Hispanics in 2008.


    She said the state is investigating more than 30 cases of non-citizens casting ballots in the state, including one Henry County woman who believed she was eligible to vote and cast ballots in 2004 and 2006.


    Handel’s office said she is still considering options, including suing the Justice Department in federal court. In a post to her Twitter account Monday morning, Handel was direct: “If they think that we’re not going to fight for this, they’re wrong.”


    The process of verifying voters’ identity and citizenship was criticized first last fall by then-Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The campaign asked the Justice Department to decide whether the system needed to be pre-cleared under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires Georgia and other states to have changes to voting laws approved. A federal lawsuit was filed and Justice agreed the rules should be reviewed. While the state was victorious in fending off an injunction for the system, the judge ruled that Justice should review the process.


    Elise Shore, regional counsel for the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, one of the groups that sued over the system, said Justice’s objection was heartening.

    It “recognizes that the state of Georgia has attempted to disenfranchise not only Latino citizens, but Asian-American and African-American citizens as well,” Shore said.


    Shore responded to Justice’s ruling as she stood on the state Capitol steps Monday for a news conference announcing a national push for comprehensive immigration reform. The Georgia chapter of the national Reform Immigration for America campaign called on Washington to enact a “practical, workable solution” that is based on “the rule of law” and “earned citizenship,” said Jerry Gonzalez, president of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.


    Similar events were held in more than 30 cities Monday in advance of a three-day campaign summit beginning Wednesday in Washington.


    But the call for reform from these groups is dubious, critics said. D.A. King, a Marietta-based illegal-immigration opponent, said it was “the same old mindless propaganda.”


    King also was critical of the Justice Department ruling on Handel’s verification system.


    But U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said the system of citizenship checks was “an attempt to take us back to another dark period in our history when people were denied access to the ballot box simply because of their race or nationality.”

    DOJ Leaks to TPM Muckraker Florida Will Be Sued Over Voter Rolls

    When DOJ Office of Public Affairs press harpy Tracy Schmaler tells Ryan Reilly of TPM Muckraker to jump, he asks how high. Today is no different now that TPM Muckraker is the vehicle for the politicized leak that Florida is going to be sued by DOJ because Florida is purging ineligible voters. TPM has the inside scoop from Schmaler that Florida is going to be sued.


    This is disgraceful on so many levels.


    Let’s start with the fact during the Bush administration, DOJ wouldn’t announce that a lawsuit was coming until it sent a notice letter to the target. They wouldn’t publicize the notice letter, generally, giving the target time to consider and possibly settle the matter. The Obama policy of leaking lawsuits to twenty-something bloggers shows the depths of politicized gamesmanship in which this DOJ is willing to engage.


    Schmaler’s handling of the Office of Public Affairs reminds one Tracey Ullman’s out-of-place character in Small Time Crooks. Her talents are more suited to Tammany Hall, not the DOJ.


    Second, this outrageous announcement has a top down feel. That is, the political people ordered a lawsuit and the career staff, like Elise Shore, are frantically drawing up the documents, looking for typos and pulling late nights to get it done.
    Thirdly, Ryan Reilly and Charlie Savage have become the chief mouthpieces of the government, defending Holder and printing whatever needs to be printed. The politicization of their reporting is surpassed only by the politicization of the Justice Department.


    January 2013 can’t come soon enough.

    Tracy Schmaler – DOJ Shrieker in Chief

    October 5th, 2011

    The internet is all aflutter with news that a Department of Justice press spokeswoman screams profanity at reporters. They should have been reading the Tatler, for we reported on this months ago. The guilty harpy is Tracy Schmaler of the Office of Public Affairs. Schmaler led the dishonest defense of the DOJ regarding the New Black Panther dismissal and is known to lose her biscuits whenever the panther case is mentioned. Now she is covering up Fast and Furious. I suggested months ago to Eric Holder here that he needs to get her under control. Guess he didn’t take my advice.

    CBS News Reporter Says White House Screamed, Swore at Her Over Fast and Furious
    Oct 4, 2011

    In between the yelling that I received from Justice Department yesterday, the spokeswoman--who would not put anything in writing, I was asking for her explanation so there would be clarity and no confusion later over what had been said, she wouldn't put anything in writing--so we talked on the phone and she said things such as the question Holder answered was different than the one he asked. But he phrased it, he said very explicitly, 'I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.'

    Ingraham: So they were literally screaming at you?

    Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me.
    [Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?]

    Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House."

    Finally, Attkisson notes that the White House is claiming that a thorough investigation of the scandal is unwarranted:

    [The White House and Justice Department] will tell you that I'm the only reporter--as they told me--that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I'm the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I'm unfair and biased by pursuing it.

    Here's the audio from the interview at this link:

    BTW - About Loretta King:


    Critics contend Assistant Attorney General Loretta King guided more by racial politics than the law



    03/21/2011

    By Caroline May - The Daily Caller

    Attorney General Eric Holder may be the face of the Justice Department, but behind the scenes, a little-known assistant attorney general named Loretta King (no relation to Martin Luther King, Jr.) has been the driving force behind the DOJ’s recent, most questionable racially motivated decisions.

    Neck-deep in the more divisive civil rights cases of the past several years — most notably the New Black Panther voter intimidation case and the recent Dayton, Ohio police department’s testing standards issue — the Obama appointed assistant attorney general has many wondering whether her guide is the law or racial politics.

    “Some of the most outlandish policies of the Holder Justice Department over the last two years flow directly from Loretta King’s worldview,” J. Christian Adams, who worked with King while serving as a voting rights attorney at the Justice Department, told The Daily Caller.

    According to Adams, race-based decision making has been a consistent staple of King’s actions and resume.

    In testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights about the New Black Panther case, former DOJ Voting Rights Section chief Christopher Coates explained that King ordered him to stop asking trial attorney applicants whether they would have a problem dealing with cases involving white victims.

    “In the spring of 2009, Ms. King, who had by then been appointed Acting AAG [assistant attorney general] for Civil Rights by the Obama Administration, called me to her office and specifically instructed me that I was not to ask any other applicants whether they would be willing to, in effect, race-neutrally enforce the VRA [Voting Rights Act],” he testified. “Ms. King took offense that I was asking such a question of job applicants and directed me not to ask it because she does not support equal enforcement of the provisions of the VRA.”

    Coates’ question was the centerpiece of the much publicized New Black Panther voter intimidation case, which centered around an incident in which members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside a Philadelphia voting precinct dressed in militia style garb, one wielding a nightstick, and shouting racial epithets at the potential white voters during the 2008 presidential election.

    According to testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, King, in consultation with Steve Rosenbaum, chief of DOJ’s Housing and Civil Enforcement section, was the attorney who ordered the dismissal of the case.

    In light of the controversy, which caused the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to launch an investigation into the process, the DOJ issued a statement denying any racial basis for their decision to dismiss the case.

    “The department makes enforcement decisions based on the merits, not the race, gender or ethnicity of any party involved,” said a DOJ spokesman. “We are committed to comprehensive and vigorous enforcement of both the civil and criminal provisions of the federal laws that prohibit voter intimidation.”

    Civil Rights Commissioner Todd Gaziano, however, was not only horrified by the decision to dismiss the case, but by what the investigation actually turned up.

    “The bigger issue was the testimony we uncovered while we were trying to investigate — that there is a pervasive atmosphere of hostility to race-neutral enforcement and that Loretta King led the effort,” Gaziano told TheDC. “The most important thing was testimony from four witnesses…that there is a racial double standard to the enforcement and that Loretta King shared and directed it as acting head. That is what the evidence suggests. And no one in the Justice Department has denied the specific facts or specific allegations. All we have are denials of the conclusion.”

    In 2009, King was one of the lead attorneys who went after Georgia’s voter verification program, which was instituted to ensure those voting were actually U.S. citizens. The DOJ argued that the process was discriminatory. Georgia was ultimately able to continue the program, but not before Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel issued a scathing rebuttal of the DOJ’s efforts.

    “The decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to deny preclearance of Georgia’s already implemented citizenship verification process shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections,” Handel wrote. “DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists…Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy.”

    In North Carolina, King was the lead attorney in a case which halted the city of Kinston’s decision not to list candidates’ party affiliations. In a letter to the city, King expressed her distaste for the measure, saying it would harm minorities’ ability to be elected.

    “Removing the partisan cue in municipal elections will, in all likelihood, eliminate the single factor that allows black candidates to be elected to office,” she wrote. “In Kinston elections, voters base their choice more on the race of a candidate than his or her political affiliation, and without either the appeal to party loyalty or the ability to vote a straight ticket, the limited support from white voters for a black Democratic candidate will diminish even more. And given that the city’s electorate is overwhelmingly Democratic, while the motivating factor for this change may be partisan, the effect will be strictly racial.”

    In New York, King is currently the lead attorney in an effort to disregard low test scores to allow more minority candidates to become firefighters. The effort, as some have pointed out, disregards the 2009 New Haven firefighter case, Ricci v. DeStefano. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled that objective test results could not be thrown out merely to meet a desired racial outcome.

    The Washington Times reported in January that King had written a memo to the attending judge in the aforementioned New York firefighter test score case recommending strategies for equity.

    “[She pitched] four proposals to require ‘representative’ or ‘proportional’ quotas. Ms. King glosses over the professional challenges of firefighting to focus on whether minorities feel ‘stigmatized’ or if black firefighters could further their ‘sense of fairness in their place of employment’ if surrounded by more workers of their own race,” the Times reported.

    Last week, reports came out of Dayton, Ohio that the DOJ, led by King, is compelling the Dayton Police Department to lower their test standards to make the equivalent of an “F” a passing grade. The reasoning behind this: the DOJ believes that not enough African Americans are passing the test.


    “Through our agreement with Dayton, we will limit the exclusionary effect of the city’s test while enabling the city to meet its urgent hiring needs and identify qualified candidates through individualized interviews,” DOJ spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa explained in an e-mail to TheDC. “The city’s hiring process doesn’t stop at the test; they will have the opportunity to interview all applicants from the broadened pool who also pass a background check.”

    The Dayton ABC affiliate reports that even the Dayton chapter of the NAACP believes this goes too far.

    “The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,” said Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward. “If you lower the score for any group of people, you’re not getting the best qualified people for the job.”

    According to some who know her, King simply won’t allow even Supreme Court decisions to get in the way of her pushing race-based policies.

    “I know [King]. I worked with her, and look, she is somebody who believes in racial quotas and she is not going to allow a Supreme Court decision, like Ricci, prevent her from what she wants to do,” said Hans Von Spakovsky, former counsel to the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, explaining why King has continued to push forward with cases like Dayton.

    King declined to comment to TheDC.

    http://dailycaller.com/2011/03/21/critics-contend-assistant-attorney-general-loretta-king-guided-more-by-racial-politics-than-the-law/


    The above articles show me who is running the the Department of Justice and the agenda of twisting and remaking the laws to fit personal political agendas instead of enforcing the laws as they are written- I am very disturbed by this information.

    Should Eric Holder resign? In my opinion, yesterday is not soon enough.
