    South Florida has about 250,000 dual citizens who live there half the year.

    Keyword being "Citizens" ....but thanks for the fun fact......you may now return to defending the complete lie and utter fraud that is the Democrat Party.

    Make sure you feign outrage over Non-Citizens participating in our elections, while supporting the Vote Fraud the DNC is dependent on.

    You never wonder how accurate the data is when it's bashing Republicans.

    These are not just non residents of Florida but non residents of the United States.

    They are not citizens and should not vote in US elections.

    Snow birds that go back and forth to the North East shouldn't be allowed to vote twice either.

    C'mon...Mikie! The snowbirds come down here to get away from the cold. Do you really expect them to jump in the Lincoln Town Car and zap up to New York on a whim just so they can vote twice?

    I wouldn't think so. Unless they live in the Villages. That's a bunch of criminals up there. I wouldn't put it past them!

    Not to mention the fact that most of the snowbirds down here are registered Republicans. Like the old farts in the Villages, you guys convinced them Obama's taking away their Medicare.

    Stupidity like that should disqualify them from voting at all!

    How can this possibly be? We've been told by the libs, mass media and pundits that there is no voter fraud. Could it be that they were actually less that honest?

    Makes me sad to live in FL and want to report anyone suspicious looking or sounding at the polls:) This is nt surprising though. Makes it hard to trust any vote count in favor of Obama in the upcoming election. If you don't have to provide ID how can anyone prove any vote counts?

    TALLAHASSEE - An estimated 180,000 non-U.S. residents are registered to vote in Florida, according to state records. It's a tightly held secret not shared with county election officials or the state's election chief even after he took the job.

    The large number of non-residents potentially on state voter rolls was first identified in early 2011 when the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles turned over residency information to the Department of State.

    Using a 1.4 million voter sample, the state estimated at the time that there were "almost 900,000 voters who may or may not be U.S. citizens" in Florida, according to documents obtained by the Times-Union. Verification of citizenship has whittled that number to the current 180,000.

    The group, termed "immigrants," is composed of people who are in the United States legally on a permanent basis. A separate group of roughly 2,600 "non-immigrants" — people here legally on a temporary basis — also may be registered.
    State estimates show 3,600 immigrant voters in Duval County. That number is "less than 500" in Clay County, said Clay County Supervisor of Elections Chris Chambliss.

    So how did so many non-residents register to vote?

    "From my understanding, it can happen when people go to get a driver's license," said Duval Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland.

    Courtney Heidelberg, a Motor Vehicles spokeswoman, said if a person is not a resident, there should be no option to register.

    "A possible explanation would be they could have registered prior to when the department began to collect citizenship information and haven't renewed or visited us since then," she said.

    She said her department's role in the process was simply turning residency information over to the Department of State. People can also register at places like a supervisor of elections office, the Division of Elections, by mail or at a public library.

    Holland said that the non-residents probably have influenced elections.

    "We have had one statewide election and around 50 or 60 municipal elections since they have known," he said.

    Rick Scott requires all DL applicants be automatically registered to vote. Leave it to his idiocy and his employees to not make sure the applicants a citizen.

    What an idiot!

    I don't believe a word of that.

    But if Republicans are voting twice we should put a stop to that also.

    Democrats have to cheat to win. That's how it's done and why they are so opposed to voter ID laws.
