Looks like it’s time for a throwdown- The U.S. Department of Justice and its highly compromised Attorney General Eric Holder are ordering Florida to halt its removal of ineligible voters – i.e. non-citizens and the deceased- from its voter rolls.
This order comes in the midst of Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner’s repeated requests for the federal government to provide state authorities with U.S. citizenship data; and county-level Supervisor of Elections such as Palm Beach County’s Susan Bucher who are refusing to send letters to individuals requesting clarification of their voter eligibility status.
“Federal law expressly requires your agency to respond to state inquiries to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within its jurisdiction for any purpose authorized by law. “Yet, after nine months of requests, we have not been granted access to that information or any other available DHS database.” ” Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner in a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Under federal law, Florida must obtain approval for changes in voting procedures because five of its counties are still covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965- those counties being Collier, Hardee, Hendry, Hillsborough and Monroe.
But was this requirement really an unjustifiable federal encroachment into a matter that properly belongs under state jurisdiction? Today, the tables are reversed- we now have an out of control and manifestly corrupt U.S. Department of Justice that not only does not want to ensure that only eligible individuals are allowed to vote, it has busied itself with filing lawsuits against states including Arizona, Alabama, Utah and South Carolina for their enforcement of federal immigration laws that the federal government itself refuses to enforce.
Predictably, local media have seized on to the stories of individuals who received letters from the state requesting clarification of their citizenship status that were likely mistaken- no thanks to federal authorities for coordinating with Florida’s efforts to remove ineligible voters from the roles.
Even more predictably, Democrats are crying foul because these efforts come less than 90 days before a federal election, which in this case Florida’s primary election is Aug. 14- even though the process to begin to identify ineligible voters and the deceased began last year.
Congressman Allen West has forcefully responded to Attorney General Holder’s assault on Florida’s sovereignty-
“
Attorney General Eric Holder is not about the blind execution of justice in America, he is nothing more than a partisan political hack that does not understand Federalism nor the Tenth Amendment. This is another example of the desperation emanating from the Obama administration since their economic, energy, and national security policies have failed. It is evident that the Obama administration, and indeed the President, does not believe in integrity in our electoral process.
They do however believe in the interfering into the States’ ability, South Carolina and now Florida, to guarantee fair elections for America, by Americans. Eric Holder is a national embarrassment who should resign, if not, then he is a liability for President Obama, and I for one will ensure the American people recognize that fact.” - Congressman Allen West
In a saner world that took the rule of law seriously, what better time is there than prior to an election to request this information from individuals?

I knew just what to expect from Holder when he did nothing about the black panthers voter intimidation in Philly.He lied about fast and furious, and now he is violating separation of church and state which the liberals use as one of their main items to silence descent!
Impeachment is not enough. Eric Holder has lied to Congress, he has shown himself to be a racist, and he is an accessory to murder in the Fast and Furious fiasco. He should be rotting in prison!
There’s only one thing Col. West said that is incorrect.
“This is another example of the desperation emanating from the Obama administration since their economic, energy, and national security policies have failed. ”
Obama’s policies have not failed, they are performing exactly as he planned.
Eric Holder once accused Americans of being cowards when it comes to racial dialogue. Eric, you are the epitome of the confluence of Affirmative Action, the Peter Principle, and Marxist ideology. Honest enough for ya?
Spot on in your analysis.
There still hasn’t been any accounting of how many of the dead voted in elections since they died, and how many of the non-citizens have voted. That’s what I want to know.
Dead Democrats have been voting in such great numbers that in a recent election they elected a dead democrat for governor of Missouri.
I can understand why Allen West does not want everyone to vote. He would not be able to win. Typical coward.
jeff You sound just like all the rest of the COMMIE buddys..
VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!
Jeff you are a pathetic piece of stupid crap.
Jeff, You are lower than whale dung.
Sound like one of those bleeding heart, bed wetting libs..
Crawl back in your hole, Jeff. Obviously, your opinion is worth less than nothing.
Oh Jeff… how we love it when libtards chime in on adult conversations… libs can only make personal attacks and blame others… personal responsibility is a “racist” term to the left… Col. West is a great American and certainly no coward as you say… I would love to see a imbecilic libtard like yourself call Allen West a coward to his face… now that I would pay to see… “liberal man” and “liberal logic” are oxymorons… go to the mailbox to pick up your welfare check and leave the thinking and voting to adults that contribute to society
Jeff you are probably addressing the wrong Republican, Your Coward comment more correctly applies to the Repub RINO’s in the Florida Legislature.
That being said, You are the Coward.
Samuel Adams quotes:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
You must be some kind of fruitcake calling Allen West a coward. That alone shows your a fool.
democrats are discusting and eric holder is just a plain rasist..
when they’re finally all booted out.. i hope there are some republicans with just a litlle bit of patritism in them to prosecute these criminals in suits..ill never vote for democrat again in this life time..
Who would ever have considered that we would find ourselves living in a country where our Federal Government actually “discourages” the cleansing of our voter registration information? We have criminals running the country! The frightening part is, “do the people care”? We have a chance in a few short months to kick them out. Will we do it? I hope all of you get off your bottom end and hit the pavement. Volunteer…do everything you can to get the conservative vote out
Thanks for keeping us informed, Allen! You are a true American!
What makes Allen West a “true-american”? He is nothing more than a do nothing rabble rouser. What has he done in his time in congress? I am so happy he is going up north, he was giving South Florida voters a bad name.
No.. what gave you south Florida voters a bad name was being too stupid to know how to punch a ballot correctly… and expecting that those who are too stupid to do so should be the ones who decide who should be President. Allen West has only redeemed the voters there somewhat.. but judging from your comment, there are still plenty of idiots there.
Jeff is a paid troll…we should completely ignore him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if every unconstitutional decision Holder makes comes directly from the White House. Neither Schmobama nor any of his cabinet members and “czars” have done anything to benefit the welfare of America. They are absolute Socialists.
The short appearance of Pres. George Bush and Laura brought fresh air back into the White House. They are real class. The Obamas, especially Schmobama, resented the cheers and adulation the Bushes received.
Keep hammering away Col. West. In such a short time you have earned our trust and respect.
any cleanup needs to eliminate the ABSENTEE VOTING manipulation that keeps all south florida congressmen in power. everyone sees those old little ladies and senior men when they put the absentee ballot in front of them and say “sign here for CUBA LIBRE”…and sign they do…50 years of being fooled by unscrupulous political hacks…worst when they “bus” them to the polling stations with “food and cafecito” included…get real Governor SCott – that IS fraud but it benefits the GOP…why not put an end to it ???
We need more then just words. We need a Federal Judge to override the USAG and allow the states to resolve any possible problems with their voter listings so that all registered citizens can vote for the person of their choice.
Not getting paid. Just think Allen West is bad for our country. He is everything that is wrong with our government. Marco is fine, I respect his trying with his version of the Dream Act . It is a start. Allen West needs to resign for non performance.
Jeff, we need more high ranking military people in the senate n congress b/c they are in touch with Reality! West speaks the truth and yes he can be abrasive however look at his intentions……at the end of the day, who do you want on your side defending your freedom? Jeff and everyone else….look at the facts…..who has goti your back?
