(38,414 posts)Dade Miami County stopped purging voters: (9th and 10 paragraphs below letter)
Miami-Dade County election officials issued 1,570 warning letters, said Christina White, the county chief deputy supervisor of elections. Of these, 13 people responded indicating they are not citizens and have been removed from the voter rolls. One of the voters cast one ballot in 1996. Another voted once in 2000 and again in 2004. Their names will be forwarded to the states attorneys office for possible prosecution as required by law, White said.
However, Miami-Dade County said it will not purge other voters from the rolls because of the large number of citizens included on the states suspect voter list. Nearly 450 voters who received warning letters provided proof of citizenship and another 35 have made plans to do so. About 1,000 voters have not responded, White said.
