Scott Continues Call for Database

July 6th, 2012 by flanews

Governor Rick Scott is not letting up on efforts to prevent non-citizens from voting in Florida.

We caught up with Scott at the airport today. He told us the Department of Homeland Security needs to give the state access to its immigration database to allow the state to better identify non-citizens, illegally registered to vote.

“The right thing to happen is the Department of Homeland Security should give us the database we have the right to have, the SAVE database. I want to make sure in the Primary in August, in November, we have honest, fare elections,” said Scott.

Last week a federal judge ruled that the state had the right to move forward with its voter purge efforts, but it needed to use the DHS database. Scott is still plotting his next move to convince the federal government to give the state access.
