In Manatee (Florida), jury excusals may reveal non-citizen voters

There has to be a better way to identify non-citizens but is there anyone who believes the Obama Administration or the Holder DOJ is going to cooperate. 

Supervisor of Elections Bob Sweat Monday said he is checking to make sure that those excused from jury duty because they are not U.S. citizens are not also listed on local voters’ rolls.

Sweat intended to ask R.B. “Chips” Shore, Manatee County clerk of circuit court and comptroller, for a list of jury excusals in an effort to cross-check the names.

“If they said they were not citizens, the first thing I would do is check with immigration, not just take them off the rolls,” said Sweat. “We would want some definite proof.”

Only those who are U.S. citizens and residents of Manatee County are eligible to vote here, Sweat said.

He had received an email earlier in the day from a local resident asking if the two lists are compared in Manatee County.

The email was linked to a report from a Fort Myers television station, which compared jury excusal forms and voter registration rolls in two counties it covers. The station found 87 people on both lists, according to its website.
