Holy smokes. They aren't citizens, why should they have a say. Can you name any other country that allows this?

Anybody who has gotten a Florida driver's license lately knows it is not an easy endeavor. The new law (effective Jan 1, 2010) requires that you bring in your original birth certificate. If you have had a name change, you must present a marriage license or divorce decree, social security card, two utility bills with your current address listed. This information is listed at gathergoget.com.

Passport works best. That takes care of the marriage license part.

I don't see it as a timidity to enforce but rather a laziness. It is easier and cheaper to register voters when they get a license or ID card. If all you have to do is say you're eligible, there is something seriously wrong with that system. Yet, that's exactly what is happening. No proof of citizenship required. Your word is good enough. BARF!!!

Voting should be the right of the citizens of a nation, not those who just happen to live there.

You don't have to be a historian to look at Iraq, Libya, or Syria. Or perhaps Germany during Hitler. Rather than going on and on let's just say that you never had it so good. Be happy, you're in The Villages.

We are turning into a 3rd world country. No trust in our leaders. What happened to us???

[Topspinmo]

More Dead people voting than alive! in some areas.


"Can't blame everything on this administration". No but they do nothing to stop in and the one that benefits from it.

I like the term Honorable Sen. so and so.. What oxymoron! NOTHING honorable about two faced crooks that we vote in for YEARS.

elections are no more than who can smear the other and get away with it. Probably find better candidates in Prison. At least we know what they done in pass and probably more HONORABLE.

Bottom line NOBODY illegal, alien, undocumented, non-citizen (what ever else the D##o party can name them) should NOT be voting on anything. get this in before it gone.

can someone supply some documented proof of all of this illegal voting? How many people have been caught? Where? When? Didn't Florida spend a few million to find all of these illegal voters and come up with about 25 people. I see this as much ado about nothing.

I doubt we can trust anybody to investigate. It is quite obvious this admin is and has attempted to overrun the country with what used to be called aliens.

Elections are run by each state, not the federal government. Election Supervisors are elected in each county of Florida and answer to no one other than the voters who elected them.

We are so concerned about other counties elections - we cant control our own - dip your thumb in a bottle of ink when done voting like some countries - if our elections do not come out the way we would like - we just say it was fixed and not run properly - i guess all the mail flyers i receive keeps the po employees working wonder how many tree cut down for all of the flyers sent out throughout this great county -- well maybe it all about jobs - jobs

So...you are implying each county makes up regs for who can vote? That would be absurd.

And where do we draw the line at how many constitutes only a few? Does the rule of "few" apply elsewhere as in only a few murderers so don't pursue? Only a few cars made with faulty steering? Only a few planes crash so not to worry? Only a few does not work!

Let's make it easy for everybody....if it is wrong then it needs to be fixed/corrected/stopped/repaired.

The answer to starting to save this country from total implosion is to return to the application of right or wrong and eliminate the poor excuse for avoiding it called politically correct

Every Florida county Election Supervisor is responsible for making sure that the voter rolls are correct in their county. This includes removing the deceased and adding newly registered voters.

When Gov Rick Scott ordered these supervisors to purge their voting rolls in 2012, these supervisors banded together and said no.

I am here because I want to be here, but I love “the rest” of my country as well.

Those of us who were born in America won the most important lottery of all by the miracle of our birth location.

America became the greatest country that ever existed or that ever will as a result of a capitalistic free-market system. That system determined the winners and losers, not government bureaucrats in Washington. We the people, in the last few decades, have been giving that freedom away by sending people to Washington who have more interest in their own re-elections than in representing those who placed them there (at present I’m ignoring their thirst for power and control). They are being sent there by those who vote for the promise of “more for nothing” and those who refuse to see that long-term socialism cannot succeed (simultaneous “takers and makers” are guaranteed suicide).

BTW, this is not politics, but proven history.
