How Florida Single-Handedly Implemented The Worst Voter System In The Country

Has anyone heard much about Florida’s voter purge? No? Well, that’s understandable. It’s not like Florida’s been at the center of voter controversy in the recent past or anything.

Back in May, Florida Gov. Rick Scott released a prettycontroversial list of possible non-citizens to purge from the voting rolls. The trouble is, according to a ThinkProgress survey, these lists are “riddled with errors” — meaning Florida is trying to remove perfectly legitimate voters for no reason.

How many? A lot. The chart below breaks it down — the number on the upper right portion of each little county-by-county pie chart is the number of people that have erroneously been listed as non-citizens. It’s pretty astonishing.
