I wanted to give you a quick update on some developments that have happened with regards to Florida Governor Rick Scott's efforts to protect the integrity of our elections by ensuring that non-citizens do not appear on our voter rolls.

As you may remember, after almost a year of the Department of Homeland Security refusing to assist Governor Rick Scott with his efforts to locate non-citizens on our voter rolls, Attorney General Eric Holder & the Department of Justice have ordered the State of Florida to halt all actions currently being done to identify and remove non-citizens from our voter rolls.

Last week, the Scott Administration responded by sending a tough rebuke to the Justice Department's actions. You may view the letter by clicking here.

During the rally, Governor Scott urged citizens to join him in his efforts to block non-citizens from voting in Florida elections. Scott also mentioned that he is considering suing the Obama Administration over it's refusal to grant the State of Florida access to the immigrant database needed to identify the non-citizens on our voter rolls.
