Jon Stewart delighted in poking fun at Florida Governor Rick Scott’s controversial voter purging campaign Tuesday evening...

Scott’s voter purge was meant to take non-citizens off the voting roll, but revealed that many eligible Democratic and minority voters were the most targeted. “People who live in fear of deportation, yet insist on voting,” Stewart said. “There must be ten of those.”
...

WATCH: Video from Comedy Central, which was broadcast on June 13, 2012.

States have a resposinbility to make sure their voting lists are legitimate how else can they do this.
Make sure the voter list is valid.
Then allow a wider range of voter id's than allowed to buy a pack of cigarets or a six pack of beer.

Nor will you find me arguing with the lack of proof at the voter polls.

MY issue with all this is the waste of government money to go on this witch hunt.

It's not a witch hunt but a calculated disenfranchisement of people likely to vote D.

I actually found a news piece that showed, at least in one county, they targeted more Republicans...

Volusia's list includes six Republicans, three Democrats, an Independent and five voters without any party affiliation.

Problem is... none of this is voter fraud.

Lincoln Davis, a former four-term congressman from Tennessee, was denied the right to vote in his hometown after poll workers said he had been purged from the voting rolls.

Voter suppression is a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising their right to vote.
