Am I the only one who thinks the Florida Secretary of State's office would
have more credibility if they led with the second to the last paragraph the
of their press release noting these are "potential" non-citizens instead of
saying in the first paragraph that they "have confirmed 207 non-citizens
have been on Florida's voter rolls"? I wonder how many people that were
alleged to be non-citizens in the first wave of purging have now been
"confirmed" again when they have already shown to Supervisors of Elections
that they are not. That would have been a good place to start on checking
the accuracy of the matching procedure.
