Think Progress EXCLUSIVE: Florida Telling Hundreds Of Eligible Citizens That They Are Ineligible To Vote

Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) has ordered the state to purge all “non-citizens” from the voting rolls prior to the upcoming election.The Scott administration is so riddled with errors that, in Miami-Dade County alone, hundreds of U.S. citizens are being told they are ineligible to vote.

ThinkProgress has learned exclusively from the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections: 
  • 1638 people in Miami-Dade County were flagged by the state as “non-citizens” and sent letters informing them that they were ineligible to vote.
  • Of that group, 359 people have subsquently provided the county with proof of citizenship.
  •  Another 26 people were identified as U.S. citizens directly by the county.
  • The bulk of the remaining 1200 people have simply not responded yet to a letter sent to them by the Supervisor of Elections.
