Holder's DoJ Demands Florida Stop Purging Non-Citizens From The Voter Lists

Much like illegal immigration -- the law is kept on the books, as a nod to public opinion, but states will be sued if they actually enforce the law.

So sure, it's a law that only citizens can vote.

But Florida is not allowed to enforce that.

Enforcing the law is, itself, in violation of federal law.

Now the explanation for this is that states are required by the National Voter Registration Act to submit plans to purge names from the voter list to the DoJ, for DoJ review, ninety days before implementing it.

The trouble is-- the state says it did just that. And the DoJ stonewalled.

[T]hey indicated they might fight DOJ over its interpretation of federal law and expressed frustration that President Barack Obama’s administration has stonewalled the state’s noncitizen voter hunt for nine months.

Nine months is in excess of 90 days. The DoJ cannot be permitted to block a lawful purge of illegal voters just by sitting on the plan for nine months.
