More rightness...Election Supervisors won't perform purge.
http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/county-elections-officials-halt-controversial-voter-purgeIn light of the federal government's objections and a potentially flawed set of data, Florida's elections supervisors will stop using the error-prone list to purge non-citizens from the voting rolls, supervisors of elections officials said Friday.
"My advice under these circumstances, and based upon the previous issues that have been presented concerning the list, as well as the fact that the Department has indicated its intent to take further action to review its list to determine its validity, I recommend that Supervisors of Elections cease any further action until the issues raised by the Department of Justice are resolved between the parties or by a Court,'' wrote Ron Labasky, general counsel for Florida Association of Supervisors of Election.

Vicki Davis, Martin County Supervisor of Election and president of the association, told the Herald/Times she expects all 67 of Florida's elections officials to follow Labasky's advice.
"If supervisors do have reliable information that a voter is no longer eligible, then by all means we want them to process that voter accordingly,'' Davis said. "But from those they haven’t heard from or those that are questionable, we are saying just stop."
The decision comes a day after the U.S. Department of Justice ordered the state to stop its systematic attempt at cleaning the voter rolls saying that the effort appears to violate both the 1965 Voting Rights Act and a 1993 that requires the state to halt any purge of voter rolls 90 days before an election.
