“We have an obligation to make sure the voter rolls are accurate and we are going to continue forward and do everything that we can legally do to make sure than ineligible voters cannot vote. We are firmly committed to doing the right thing and preventing ineligible voters from being able to cast a ballot. We are not going to give up our efforts to make sure the voter rolls are accurate.”

That is the message from the Florida Attorney General’s office regarding Eric Holders desperate demand that the state cease and desist in purging voter rolls of illegal aliens  who are registered to vote illegally.

Florida has had quite enough and one can see fit to they are not alone in that sentiment.

Where exactly does this leave Holder? In a not so enviable position really.

Section 5 is the basis for his argument but, it’s a long shot at this point. Section 5 protects minorities from illegal practices regarding voting in several southern states where, admittedly in the past, such things took place. Voter intimidation, refusal to register minorities etc.

Now, due to Section 5, those states must okay any change in voter law with the nation’s Department of Justice.

Holder is really, really reaching to use Section 5 in this way. Really reaching.

Florida, in purging their voter rolls of illegal voters is, in fact, adhering to existing federal laws, not making new laws. Foreign citizens are not allowed to vote for our president. It’s just that simple and Florida is removing them from voter rolls where they now exist illegally.

Holder is so desperate to protect a voting block for liberals and Obama that he is actively trying to keep illegals registered to vote and that is just plain illegal in and of itself. This is also a clear sign of desperation on the part of Obama as he clearly feels he needs each and every illegal vote he can secure in his bid for reelection.

So…Holder demands that Florida stop purging their voter rolls of illegals and he does so in writing.

Now, Florida says, phooey, they’re going to continue the purge.

Holder has options and none of them are good for him.

1)      Holder could fold which would be seen as a sign of weakness by other states who would most certainly join in the purge fest of illegals from the voting rolls in their own states.

2)      2) Holder could sue Florida. He’s done as much to other states so it would be nothing new except, at the Supreme Court level, he will most certainly lose as it is already illegal for foreigners to vote and Florida is simply acting in accordance with that law.

3)      Holder could continue to pressure Florida without bring suit but in doing so, would be seen as nothing but a paper tiger.

Holder is about to lose his case against Arizona’s SB1070 in a couple of weeks at the hands of the Supreme Court and he has even less standing in his demands against Florida.

One can easily see an avalanche of other states enacting laws similar to the Arizona law and even more states acting as Florida is now.

The next domino to fall could well be section 5 itself.

Not that Section 5 isn’t valid but, it’s old and out of date and in dire need of an overhaul. Holder’s actions, and inactions over the last 3 years place that need in a bright light. Originally, section 5 was put in place to protect minority voting rights but6 it has, in the last few years, become the crutch upon which illegal voting practices are propped up.

What we have seen over the last few years, illegals being registered to vote and then being protected by the DOJ, voter intimidation at the polls, not against minorities but at the HANDS of minorities and stands taken by Holder to squash attempts by southern states to implement the same laws existing in northern states requiring Voter ID at the polls are glaring examples of how Section 5 needs to be retooled.

Of complaints of voter fraud, Holder is on record, as are liberal pundits, claiming there simply aren’t enough proven cases of it to warrant action by states but, at every turn, we seeHolder placing a DOJ shield between illegal voters and those who would act to stop them.

So, which IS it?

If they don’t exist, why then is Holder so quick to protect their “right” to vote illegally?

In Florida, we’re talking about some 2,600 illegals in the process of being purged from voter rolls.

Here is the letter sent to Florida by the DOJ:

What Holder is saying is that Florida must submit to the DOJ for approval under Section 5 their request to purge the voter rolls of illegals AND that Florida is in violation of Section 8 because it is now less than 90 days before the Florida primary.

As to the first part of Holder’s argument, Florida is not implementing any new voter procedure rather, they are upholding existing law.

To the second part of the argument put forth in their letter to the Florida Secretary of State, Holder would be correct were it not for a single letter of the alphabet.

Section 8 is missing a crucial “F” from it’s language.

Were Section 8 to state, “…not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary For a general election…” Holder would have a valid argument. It does NOT state that however. What it DOES state is, “…not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary OR a general election…”

Indeed, Holder attempts to INSERT the missing “F” into the law at the bottom of the letter where the DOJ states, “ Because Florida’s primary election For federal office is August 14, 2012, that 90 period began on May 16, 2012.”

Florida is within their rights to purge illegals from their voter rolls at this time as it IS more than 90 days prior to the general election and Holder’s attempt to stop them from doing so is a most transparent and desperate move aimed at allowing illegals to vote, and have their votes counted, for Obama in November.

What Holder is hoping for, is an injunction which would delay Florida’s efforts past the 90 day deadline FOR the general election.

Any judge, after reading this letter and the laws cited in it, who would issue such an injunction either needs their head examined or is complicit in Holder’s attempt to perpetrate voter fraud.
