Scott Walker Win Emboldens Rick Scott As Florida Governor Goes To War On Voter Registration

Walker Situation Emboldens Rick Scott In War On Contentions Issue

The Department of Justice had given Florida Governor Rick Scott until Wednesday, June 6, to respond to its demand that the state stop a legally questionable purge of its voter rolls designed to identify non-citizen and other ineligible voters. Scott made the DOJ wait until that very deadline, but chances are the conservative Republican wasn’t trying to be rude. He may well have been waiting for a political tailwind from the north – from Wisconsin, where another GOP governor, Scott Walker, was facing a recall vote on Tuesday engineered by Democrats angry at his conservative, anti-union policies.
