From the Miami Herald: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office won’t rule out suing the Department of Homeland Security for refusing to share its citizenship database with Florida’s elections division in its hunt for noncitizen voters.

“It’s disappointing that the Obama Administration has been unwilling
to help the Department of State ensure that we have accurate voter
rolls,” Bondi’s office told The Miami Herald in response to an inquiry.
“We still hope that the Department of State will be able to obtain the
Obama Administration’s cooperation without resorting to litigation, but
we’re monitoring the situation and believe Florida needs to keep all of
its options open.”

…Federal law (8 USC; 1373 to be exact),
says the “Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an
inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to
verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any
individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose
authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status
information.”
