Rick Scott's Motivation For Purging Voters

If there were any lingering questions that Gov. Rick Scott's motivation for purging voters, this should put it to rest. Former Secretary of State Kurt Browning, who worked with Scott on cooking up the purge (and is no stranger to voter suppression, having kicked minority and Democratic voters off the lists in 2008), has close ties to an astroturf group funded by, you guessed it, David and Charles Koch. The guys who have committed hundreds of millions to defeat
Barack Obama in November.

Stop Illegally Purging Florida Voters

Will you call Scott right now? Tell him, "Stop illegally purging Florida voters."

Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer

Hillsborough County — which has almost 700,000 registered voters — has decided to abandon its voting purge after finding that at least six local people on the list supplied by Tallahassee were in fact U.S. citizens in good standing. The county’s Supervisor of Elections Office had received from Tallahassee a list of 72 “noncitizens” in mid-April. The Elections Office sent each of those persons a certified letter saying they were ineligible to vote, and if they disputed that claim, they’d have to prove it.

Here we go again. They did it for George W. Bush in 2000, and now the Republicans are working to steal the 2012 Presidential election for Mitt Romney in Florida.

It's straight out of Katherine Harris' playbook. Florida Governor Rick Scott is currently deploying a massive and systematic effort to purge up to 182,000 Floridians who are likely Democratic voters from the state's voting rolls.
