The Great Florida Disenfranchisement

Posted on 12:00 by amla
Gov. Rick Scott is carrying on in the tradition of Brother Jeb and Katherine Harris.
Remember her? Her political corruption has made her so wealthy she is building a fucking castle in Sarasota.
Scott is purging the voter rolls of potential Democratic voters by the thousands in an open effort to suppress minority, mostly black, votes and rig the November election. The plan is to revoke the right to vote from 182,000 citizens and force them to jump through hoops to regain their legal rights.

Scott is relying on the US Supreme Court led by that noted defender of KKK rights, Antonin Scalia (see here and here), to protect Florida's efforts to purify the state's voting rolls of darkies.
