Florida County Clerks to Rick Scott: Drop Dead

It looks like they are rejecting his plan for a little Jim Crow:

Florida’s noncitizen voter purge looks like it’s all but over.

The 67 county elections supervisors — who have final say over voter purges —are not moving forward with the purge for now because nearly all of them don’t trust the accuracy of a list of nearly 2,700 potential noncitizens identified by the state’s elections office.The U.S. Department of Justice has ordered the state to stop the purge.

“We’re just not going to do this,” said Leon County’s elections supervisor, Ion Sancho, one of the most outspoken of his peers. “I’ve talked to many of the other supervisors and they agree. The list is bad. And this is illegal.”

It is explicitly illegal.

You are not allowed to scrub voter rolls less than 90 days before an election under federal law, and the non-presidential Florida primaries are in August.

Additionally, for Florida, this has to be pre-cleared by the DoJ.

The party of Lincoln is not the party of Jim Crow.
