WASHINGTON -- Refusing to back away from its controversial plan to purge voter rolls before the presidential election, the Florida Department of State on Monday filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for failing to assist the state in its efforts to identify noncitizens who are registered to vote.
The state had asked Homeland Security for access to the SAVE database, but the department has not cooperated, so the rolls instead have been compared against the state’s driver’s license database. Homeland Security argues that the SAVE database is not designed to be compared against voter registration rolls and that it does not contain information about citizens born in the United States.

I was listening to Rick Scott on the radio, he said as many as 182,000 registered voters who may not be U.S. citizens. Janet Incompitano appears to be stonewalling on the SAVE database like Holder on Fast & Furious. Didn't Obama promise transparency with his administration? 182,000 votes could be an election changer in any close race.
