Scott is bluffing. His independently elected county supervisors have been advised by their lead lawyer to halt the purges until Justice and Florida resolve the challenge.

This is a sloppy article which doesn't take the actions of the lead counsel for the supervisor into account. All it does is regurgitate Scott and his honcho's attempt to look defiant in the face of the Justice Sept. warning. The lead counsel advised the supervisors to halt the purge and the president of the association of supervisors said SHE believes ALL 67 supervisors will listen to their lawyer.


TALLAHASSEE — A lawyer for Florida’s local election officials on Friday advised them to stop the effort to identify and purge ineligible voters until its legality is resolved.

State Association of Supervisors of Elections president Vicki Davis, the supervisor in Martin County, said she believed all 67 supervisors will listen to their legal adviser, Ron Labasky. With the exception of Miami-Dade County’s appointed supervisor, they are independently elected officials.

“It’s illegal under federal law, and I’m going to follow the law,” said Ion Sancho, the supervisor in Leon County.
