And yet, in reality, Governor Scott (along with the majority of Americans) only wants people who are legally allowed to vote to cast their ballots.

WASHINGTON — As labor and minority groups gear up for their get-out-the-vote operations for the fall elections, the head of the NAACP blasted Gov. Rick Scott (R) on Tuesday for Florida’s controversial voter purge, predicting a “tidal wave of voter suppression laws” around the country in the coming years.

“What we are facing is a coordinated effort to block the vote,” said Benjamim Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “What we are facing is a group of highly partisan governors across this country who have simply decided to do whatever they can to suppress the vote in key demographics.”

“Gov. Scott’s defiance to the Department of Justice is deeply troubling,” Jealous said. “But it’s right in line with his actions so far. He has seemed committed to . . . clear as many voters off the rolls as possible in black and Latino and poor communities.”
