Hillsborough County Republicans rally behind Rick Scott and his plan to rid state of non-citizen voters

  • Hillsborough County Republican Party chair Art Wood

Over the weekend Rick Scott showed no remorse or reluctance to continue the fight in Florida's battle against the Obama Justice Department regarding the state's quest to purge non-citizens from the voting rolls right now.

At a Tea Party Express rally in Tallahassee, the Palm Beach Post's Dara Kam reports that the governor urged the activists to help him gain support for the non-citizen voting purge.

Scott once again complained that the Department of Homeland Security has been unfair to the state by not granting them access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or “SAVE,” database the states are supposed to be allowed to use to check voter IDs.

"Okay so the latest is who should get to vote in our state and in our country. People that are citizens of our country. It’s very simple, right? Who comes up with the idea that you get to vote if you’re not a citizen?," Scot is quoted as saying in the Post.
