DOJ’s interpretation of federal law would allow fictitious persons, 12 year olds, and illegals to vote

The partisan enforcement actions of the Voting Section has been revealed once again.  DOJ has demanded that Florida stop removing ineligible voters from the rolls.  Not so simple.  According to DOJ’s interpretation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) as applied to Section 98.075 (6), Florida Statutes,
(scroll down to page 14), a non-citizen or foreign national who was
improperly placed on the rolls by fraud or deceit must not be removed
from the voter rolls.  This reading is erroneous as a non U.S. citizen
registrant were never qualified to register to vote in the first
instance.  There is a difference!!! The NVRA was not designed to prevent
the removal of such non-qualified voters.  The section of the Florida Election Code
covers individuals who never should have been on the rolls to begin
with, were never qualified and were only erroneously placed on the
rolls. 

For example, you cannot be a registered voter if you are
a fictitious person, an underage person, or  … drumroll….not a U.S.
citizen.   In fact, being a citizen is fundamental to exercising the
franchise; so in no case, will a non-citizen ever be eligible to vote. 
You cannot vote in a federal election if you are not a citizen of the
United States. That is, unless DOJ forces the states to accept that
illegal vote and push a fraud on all of us.

To accept DOJ’s
sophistry, even a fictitious person or 12 year old improperly registered
to vote and erroneously added to the voter rolls would be given a free
pass to the polling place and there is no legal way to remove these
unqualified persons from the voter rolls within 90 days of the
election.  The 90 day window of the NVRA is designed to protect
qualified voters from removal for failure to vote or respond to
mailings, not fictitious persons or non-U.S. citizens.  Apparently, DOJ
would have Florida citizens (and the Courts) believe that congressional
intent was to allow all types of illegality of votes with the passage of
the NVRA.  DOJ is wearing the black hat on this one.

Minnesota Democrats want to keep Voter ID amendment away from voters

Many Minnesotans have been deciding whether they
are for or against the Voter ID amendment when they head to the polls in
November — but a new lawsuit over the language in the amendment may
take the question off the ballot.

Several
local organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union and
the League of Women Voters Minnesota — came forward on Wednesday with a
lawsuit that says the language is misleading and inaccurate. They hope
the Minnesota Supreme Court will intercede. 
full story.

Democrats and left-wing groups fear the people on the voter ID issue and hope to use the courts to frustrate the will of the people.  


“Ben Jealous Voter ID Rhetoric Inconsistent With Reality”

RNLA Chair David Norcross at Breitbart.  “Ben Jealous, the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) recently repeated the ridiculous and scurrilous claim that voter identification (ID) is tantamount to Jim Crow and a poll tax. While there is no support for Jealous’ incendiary allegations, he now even desperately tries to support his case by grossly misrepresenting a survey by the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) in order to launch a radical campaign against voter ID laws.”

Is there no more accountability?
