Possible criminal charges tonight for 207 non-citizens found registered to vote in Florida.

It’s a felony to illegally register to vote. The names were discovered this week after the Florida Division of Elections relaunched its voter purge efforts. Spokesman Chris Cate says once the names are removed from the state’s voting rolls they’ll be handed over to investigators.

“We know that some of these voters that we found to be non-citizens have been voting in the past. We are going to be turning those names over to the supervisors of elections and once they’ve been contacted the information will be provided to state attorneys were they can do the investigation because it is a felony,” said Cate.

But the ACLU is saying not so fast. When the state tried to remove voters in April the data was flawed and the purge put on hold. Baylor Johnson, a spokesman for the ACLU says he’s not confident the state will hold legitimate voters harmless.

“Given the state’s less than competent record when it comes to voter purges, I think Floridians would be right to be skeptical of anything coming from this current purge,” said Johnson.

The ACLU wants to hear from any US citizen being told they can’t vote. Cate says there won’t be any because now the state is using a federal immigration database that should prevent any mixups.
