Think Progress: Florida Officially Restarts Voter Purge

Florida has officially restarted it’s controversial purge of registered voters less than 6 weeks before election day. Governor Rock Scott’s intention to resume the effort, detailed in a PowerPoint presentation, was first reported by ThinkProgress.

Initially, Florida identified 180,000 potential non-citizens to be purged from the voter rolls. That list was subsequently narrowed down to 2600 “sure fire” non-citizens. When it became clear in early June that even the smaller list was riddled with errors, elections officials stopped the effort.

According to the Miami Herald, Florida has sent just 198 names to local election supervisors. (Of those, no more than 36 have ever cast a ballot.) But there is already evidence that the latest list still is not accurate.

Jonathan Michael Snow is Democratic Congressional Candidate for Florida's 12th District

Meet your new Democratic candidate for the  12th congressional district seat.

A first generation American, Jonathan Michael Snow was born in Munster, Indiana in 1987, of a Greek-Turkish mother and a French-Irish-Native American father. 

Jonathan moved to Florida in 1994 where he attended school in Tarpon Springs, Florida. 

He graduated from St. Nicolas Greek School in 2000 and went on to Tarpon Springs High School. During his senior year at Tarpon Springs, he served as the Managing Editor of the school newspaper, The Independent Observer -- since renamed the Sponger Express. 

Jonathan served as Vice-President of the Tarpon Springs High School Young Democrats. In 2005, Jonathan graduated Summa Cum Laude from Tarpon Springs High.

Jonathan attended St. Petersburg College and graduated Summa Cum Laude with an Associate in Arts degree in 2007. He then went on to the University of South Florida, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History.

Jonathan served as a substitute teacher for Pinellas County Schools for two years where he received numerous commendations from teachers and students. Currently, Jonathan is employed as a Photo Specialist for Walgreens.

While attending USF, Jonathan served first as State Committeeman and then as Vice-President of the Pinellas County Young Democrats. 

As a leader in the Young Democrats, Jonathan promoted voter registration, youth engagement in politics, and community clean-up programs. Currently he is a Board Member for the Tarpon Springs Democratic Club.

Jonathan believes the vast majority of Americans agree on a great deal of issues and wants to be a part of uniting Americans behind common sense solutions to fix our problems. 

Together, we the people, can once again, work to put this country back on the right track. However, Congressional Republicans want to continue playing the politics of diversion and division! And, if they’re successful in this election, the programs Republicans propose will take us back to the same exact policies that got us into this economic mess in the first place!

Snow is running against Gus Bilirakis for the 12th district seat. We wish him luck. Florida needs some new Democratic blood to represent us in Washington DC.

Tampa Bay Times: Why no concern about the real place there might be voter fraud?

"In case you missed it, there were some worrisome developments involving absentee ballots in South Florida just last month. Two people were arrested and charged with illegally collecting and/or falsifying absentee ballots in the primary election. A couple of judicial candidates also told the Miami Herald they were approached by brokers offering to deliver absentee ballots in their favor if the candidates paid thousands of dollars for the service. This type of broker is commonly known as a boletero."

A message from Bill Nelson's better half, Grace

Grace and Bill Nelson

Dear Eric,

I was originally writing to you to share my personal observations of Bill after 40 years of marriage. I hope you still will permit me to do so.

Bill lost his parents at an early age and had to accept responsibility quickly. I knew then that he would take care of me and our family.

I want you to know that he is, at home and in our private life, the same caring and trustworthy person that he strives to be as a public servant.

He has proven to be worthy of the public trust that he has been given by the people of Florida. Bill represents all Floridians, not just those who vote for him but also those who don't vote for him and those who don't vote at all.

He considers it a privilege to serve in the U.S. Senate representing Florida and our country.

He needs our help now. I hope and ask that you will consider continuing to support him.

Much love,


Grace Nelson

Jessica Ehrlich notes Rep. BIll Young has been dodging voters and debates

Published on Sep 25, 2012 by ehrlichforcongress

Jessica Ehrlich to Congressman Bill Young: Please do not confuse voters with "stalkers"

St Petersburg, FL - Jessica Ehrlich, the Democratic Party's nominee against 42-year incumbent Republican Congressman Bill Young in Florida's 13th district (Pinellas County) issued the following statement regarding repo

"I am deeply relieved to learn Congressman Young and his family have not suffered any physical harm following reports his home has been allegedly burglarized over the past several years. And I have faith the Indian Shores police department will continue their thorough investigation. Following the attack on Rep. Giffords, nothing can be taken lightly."

"However, I am disturbed by several comments made by Congressman Young in today's story. The Congressman acknowledged he is 'more on guard' after he was 'recently caught on video' telling a voter who asked him a question about raising the minimum wage to 'get a job'. He also said he is 'not used to this kind of personal treatment' and claimed he was being 'stalked'."

"With all due respect to Congressman Young, I think he is confusing voters legitimately inquiring about his stances on important issues with being 'stalkers'. Thousands of Floridians saw the video of Congressman Young telling a young man repeatedly to 'get a job' after he respectfully asked Young a question. Further, Young, in another incident 'caught on video', walked away from a military veteran asking him a question about our treatment of America's returning military heroes."

"If Congressman Young wants to earn a 43rd year in Congress he needs to stop confusing voters with stalkers."

"If Congressman Young had held a town hall meeting or attended a debate, his constituents would not need to approach him to find out his positions. After four decades in Congress, Bill Young needs to explain his vote to 'voucherize' Medicare. 

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee that controls Washington spending, he needs to answer for our record budget deficit. And with thousands of Pinellas County voters struggling in this economy, his economic plan needs to be more than 'get a job'.

"I believe a seat in Congress is something to be earned. That's why I have been campaigning tirelessly, outlining my plan to protect Medicare, to cut wasteful government spending, and to protect our middle class. I have attended all of the recent candidate forums and have never seen Congressman Young."

"We don't need a Congressman simply occupying a seat in Congress and being 'on his guard' with voters. It's time for leadership and advocacy. I will put my real world, hands-on business experience to work fighting for Pinellas County's economic future."

Note: CW Bill Young had thought his condo has been burglarized but the local police disagreed.

See anything in common?

Intrade predicts Mittens has a 27 per cent change of election, Nate Silver says 20.3 per cent and IPredict-19.4 per cent.

Obama now has a 10-point lead in Ohio, a must win state for Mittens.

Can the outcome of the presidential election be clearer? Keep in mind, too, that Intrade is an Irish company and IPredict is in NZ.

Any suggestions this data has a liberal media bias is bogus.

Scott Swope for sheriff

When Rick Scott appointed Bob Gualtieri as interim Sheriff, Gualtieri decided to cut the fugitive section, a bureau of 16 deputies whose primary responsibility was to review and serve arrest warrants.

As a result, Pinellas County now is second in the state in unserved warrants -- 56,000 of them, and almost 15,000 of those are for felony charges.Gualtieri asserts that a warrants database accessible from squad car computers allows those deputies to do the work once done by detectives.

But, according to the Tampa Bay Times: “experts and officials at other large law enforcement agencies cast doubt on that claim. Tracking down fugitives, they say, requires a level of investigative zeal that cannot realistically be expected from deputies who are also responsible for policing the streets.”

(To read the article, click here.)

In the best interests of the safety of all Pinellas residents -- Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and those who aren't even registered to vote -- we ask that you read the article, comment on it, share it with your friends, and support Scott Swope, the Democrat running to replace Gualtieri.

Scott Swope will immediately reinstate the Fugitive Section if elected, and will work with all of us to make sure our civil rights are respected, and our streets are safer.
