Florida Governor Rick Scott in this May 16th photo (AP)In a victory for Florida, the federal government has finally granted Florida the right to use a law enforcement database to challenge people's right to vote if they're suspected of not being U.S. citizens. The agreement was made in a letter to Governor Rick Scott's administration and was obtained by the Associated Press. It grants the state access to a list of resident noncitizens maintained by the Homeland Security Department. The Obama administration has denied Florida's request for months but finally relented after a judge ruled in the state's favor in a related voter-purge matter.
This is a great victory for Florida, regardless which political party it benefits. This is not about benefitting any political party. This is about enforcing the law when it comes to voter fraud. Illegal aliens and anybody that's not qualified to vote shouldn't be allowed to vote. That's why each state should have a particular system when it comes to voter registration. The right to vote is for those who are U.S. citizens and for those who are legally qualified to vote. That just makes sense. It's tragic when a state has no way to determine those who are qualified to vote and those who aren't qualified to vote because the federal government is in favor of illegals voting. I know the Obama administration and many Democrats wouldn't naturally be in favor of it because part of the president's core constituency consists of Hispanics, some which aren't U.S. citizens. I'm glad justice has prevailed and the state of Florida will have the ability to purge those from their voter rolls which aren't qualified to vote.
