Justice Department Sues Florida Over Voter-List Purging

In some good news on the voting rights front, the U.S. Justice Department has sued Rick Scott's Florida over the effort to purge what Scott calls non-citizens from Florida voter rolls. As some news reports are making clear the issue is not over trying to remove non-citizens from voter rolls, but over the sloppy way the job is being done, which may cause confusion among voters. Also, the effort is being conducted within 90 days of a Federal election in violation of federal law. (Florida's primary is being held August 14.) Thank goodness the U.S. Justice Department is pursuing this matter. Now, if they will pursue the matter of vote dumping and secret, proprietary computer tabulation programs we will really begin to clean up this U.S. election mess. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57451936-503544/justice-department-sues-florida-over-voter-purge/?asid=a7e065a7
