Florida sued the U.S. Department of Homeland security over access to a
database to verify the citizenship of residents as the state seeks to
purge noncitizens from its voter rolls, a spokesman for Florida
Secretary of State Ken Detzner said.
…We have a right to this database,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott said on
Fox’s Your World Cavuto show, according to the Miami Herald. “It’s
supposed to be used for voting registration. I look forward to them giving us the database but, again, we don’t’ have a choice but to sue them this afternoon.”
DHS had refused to give Florida officials access despite repeated requests.
