Leon Co. Florida Election Official: Despite Scott's Letter We’re Not Re-Starting Voter Purge
June, 6 2012 9:39 PM
TALLAHASSEE — Leon County election supervisor Ion Sancho went on MSNBC this evening telling program host Al Sharpton that despite the Scott administration’s decision to continue on with its removal of “non-citizens” from the voter rolls, it won’t happen.
“Regardless of what the governor is saying in the letter to the justice department, quite frankly there will be no systematic purge of citizens from this point on by the state’s supervisors,” Sancho said.
The general counsel for the Florida Association of Supervisors of Elections last week advised the state’s 67 supervisors to stop the process because of the Department of Justice’s objections. Given that the dispute between the state and the feds is not resolved, the local supervisors will likely hold off on the state’s orders for now, he told the Sentinel/Sun-Sentinel today.
