How much has Scott spent total on legal fees that have been bounced by the courts for his bs? How much all together? Any clue? I'll wait.
It's NOT BS.....Purging the rolls of dead people and those no longer living in the state goes to protecting the integrity( that word is kryptonite to liberals) of the election process.
Of course you will never see it that way. Because on planet liberal, winning an election by any means necessary simply ensures what should be. That is political power in perpetuity.
With all the voter fraud being exposed, eventually there will be a court that reverses this path of stupid and insane political correctness. That's all it is.
Imagine, "oh no....You can't take those dead people's voter registration away! Suppose they come back to life?".....That's what you're really saying.

Nope....No problems at all.
You people live in your own reality.
The people who were purged was not what was deemed illegal. It was the fact that the purge took place 55 days before an election. If the purge was needed and did just remove invalid voters that needed to be removed...why break the rules and do it 55 days before a major election? Why not just do it outside the 90 day safety window?

No matter. A mere set back. The bottom line is the voter rolls will be purged. That's that.

Scott resigned as CEO in July 1997, less than four months after the inquiry became public. Company executives said had Scott remained CEO, the entire chain could have been in jeopardy.
During his 2010 race, the Miami Herald reported that Scott had said he would have immediately stopped his company from committing fraud if only somebody told me something was wrong. But there were such warnings in the companys annual public reports to stockholders which Scott had to sign as president and CEO.
Scott wanted to fight the accusations, but the corporate board of the publicly traded company wanted to settle.
In December 2000, the U.S. Justice Department announced that Columbia/HCA agreed to pay $840 million in criminal fines, civil damages and penalties.
Among the revelations from the 2000 settlement:
Columbia billed Medicare, Medicaid and other federal programs for tests that were not necessary or had not been ordered by physicians.
The company attached false diagnosis codes to patient records to increase reimbursement to the hospitals.
The company illegally claimed non-reimbursable marketing and advertising costs as community education.
Columbia billed the government for home healthcare visits for patients who did not qualify to receive them.
The government settled a second series of similar claims with Columbia/HCA in 2002 for an additional $881 million. The total for the two fines was $1.7 billion.
On Scotts 2010 campaign website, he admitted to the $1.7 billion fine, though the link is no longer on the site.
The fine
The fine clearly set a record, though the Justice Department (and media reports at the time) were not always consistent in their terminology, sometimes describing it as the largest government fraud settlement in U.S. History and other times more specifically as the largest healthcare fraud case in U.S. History.
A Justice Department spokeswoman said that officials refer to Columbia/HCA as largest healthcare fraud rather than the more narrow term Medicare fraud because it involved defrauding other government programs such as Medicaid rather than Medicare exclusively. The Justice Department described in detail the various ways the company defrauded Medicare and other government health programs here.

Ok....It's a story....With a very long stretch.
If the doings of underlings were to be accounted to the guy or gal at the top, the CEO if GM, using your logic, should be in prison right now.....
Since we do not live in this type of society, the people that actually DO THE DEED are punished.
Look, you hate Scott because he is not liberal. In your world, the very word "conservative" makes your blood boil. You people believe that all non libs are criminals. That's ok....
You can 'believe' whatever you wish.
Save it for your lefty cul de sac coffee klatch.
So Rick's 2012 voter purge 55 days before the 2012 election was just ruled to be an illegal action since it violated the 90 day safety window discussed in the 1993 National Voter Registration act.
Obama won Florida in despite Rick's best attempts to thwart the election in favor of the Republicans, but the move will still cost him in the year that's he's already polling significantly behind Crist. I'd say this is pretty close to the nail in the coffin for Rick Scott, and yet another Governor house going to the democrats...right in time for 2016.
Maybe the SCOTUS ruling will bring him back once all the billionaires (Kochs...) pump money his way.
Rick Scott has lost nearly every single poll to Charlie Crist, and this appeals ruling certainly won't help him.
How much has Scott spent total on legal fees that have been bounced by the courts for his bs? How much all together? Any clue? I'll wait.

The costs and benefits of the law and the outcome of the court case could reverberate nationwide. This week, Georgia passed its own drug welfare law.
Since Gov. Rick Scott signed the bill into law last year, 25 states have considered similar legislation, Newton said.
Data about the laws cost may impact the court of public opinion, but Jenn Meale, a spokeswoman for the attorney generals office, said it wont play a role in the legal proceedings.
Thats because ACLUs case rests on whether the law violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens against "unreasonable searches" by the government.
"Any costs associated with the program are irrelevant to the analysis of whether the statute is constitutional," Meale said.
Of the 4,086 applicants who scheduled drug tests while the law was enforced, 108 people, or 2.6 percent, failed, most often testing positive for marijuana. About 40 people scheduled tests but canceled them, according to the Department of Children and Families, which oversees Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, known as the TANF program.
The numbers, confirming previous estimates, show that taxpayers spent $118,140 to reimburse people for drug test costs, at an average of $35 per screening.
The states net loss? $45,780.
"Thats not counting attorneys and court fees and the thousands of hours of staff time it took to implement this policy," Newton said.
The law also didnt impact the number of people who applied for benefits.
The findings dont ruffle supporters of the law, who say that its primary purpose is to make sure taxpayer money doesnt supplement drug use.
"Its not about money, its about the drug issue," said Rep. Jimmie Smith, R-Lecanto, who sponsored the legislation. "Its about using every tool we have in the toolbox to fight drugs."
Jackie Schutz, a spokeswoman for the governors office, said the governor agreed: The drug welfare law is about protecting children and getting parents back to work.
"It is important to ensure that people who receive TANF dollars use the cash assistance appropriately and not spend it on illegal drugs," she said.
Smith said he believes the law helps keep people off drugs and that theres undocumented savings in the form of less prison costs and fewer broken families.

No one can remove a voter from the roles except the county Supervisor of Elections. Not the Governor, not the Sec of State, no one in Tallahassee.
That list was a list of people who were not U.S. citizens.
Do you think a person who is not a U.S. citizen should be allowed to vote simply because the "safety window" is in effect?

When Gov. Rick Scotts (R-FL) administration distributed its controversial lists of possible non-citizen voters last month, state statute required the states 67 county supervisors of elections to send out letters requiring those voters to prove their eligibility to vote within 30 days a window that will end in the next couple of weeks in many counties. But a ThinkProgress survey of several county supervisors in Florida reveals that the lists of presumed non-eligible voters is riddled with errors. In large and small jurisdictions across the state, supervisors have found that a large number of the voters on the list are indeed eligible voters.
Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall told ThinkProgress that she and the states 66 other county elections supervisors sent a clear message to the Scott administration at a Tampa conference two weeks ago. One after another, [they] got up and talked about inaccuracies [in the states voter purge list of alleged non-citizen voters].
In Miami-Dade, the count of voters whose citizenship status has been challenged by the Scott administration numbered in the hundreds. With time left to respond, nearly a quarter of those sent letters in have already proven their eligibility.
Several smaller counties also confirmed to ThinkProgress that voters have proven that their inclusion on the list was in error.
In Clay County, near Jacksonville, the elections supervisor received two names from the state. One proved citizenship; the other was purged from the rolls for not responding within 30 days. Charlotte County (two out of nine) and Bradford County (two out of nine) also reported significant percentage of errors on the states list.
Citrus County Supervisor of Elections Susan Gill (R), who serves a Tampa-area county with a population of just about 140,000, received just three names from the state that it deemed likely non-citizens. But already two of those have produced documentation to verify their citizenship and voter eligibility. One of the two was even born in New York State. The third voter, who has yet to respond to a registered letter, has never even voted.
Florida Elections Officials: U.S. Citizens Targeted In Voter Purge
Sarasota County: Joyce Soltis, administrative assistant to Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent (R) told ThinkProgress that the county received 14 names of from the state as sure-fire non-citizens. At least two to three of them have already proved their citizenship to the county and one was removed after indicating that he or she was not an eligible voter. Soltis said that while the remaining 10 or 11 voters have not responded, due to the significant inaccuracies on the list, the office has decided we are not purging anyone from that group.
Volusia County: Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall (R) told ThinkProgress that that county received 15 names from the state. One was not even sent a letter, because the voter is currently serving in the military and another has already proven citizenship. But she said they have no plans to remove any of the remaining 13 voters unless her office receives clear proof. To say the least, the list is very suspect, she explained.
Hillsborough County: The Tampa Tribune reported today that Supervisors or Elections Earl Lennard (R) has also decided not to remove any voters on the unreliable list from the rolls without first receiving corroborating evidence that the voters are not citizens.
Pasco County: Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley (R) told the Tribune that the state had told supervisors that this purge list was the low-hanging fruit with rock-solid data that they were not citizens. He expressed frustration that the state has put them in a catch-22, complaining If we truly comply and remove those that dont respond, then folks say were suppressing voter rights. If we dont, we have people saying were allowing non-citizens to vote.
Marin County: Because it has proven to be anything but rock-solid data, Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis (R), president of the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, told the Tribune that she believes most of the counties have decided not to purge any voters without other evidence.

The statistics that we've seen from the first round of Republican Gov. Rick Scott's Florida voter purge are pretty disturbing. The Miami Herald uncovered the fact that 58 percent of the people on the initial list sent out to supervisors to be scrubbed off the voting rolls were Hispanic, even though they represent just 13 percent of the voting population. According to the paper's analysis, in addition to Hispanics, Democratic and independent voters were more likely to be on the list.
That's bad, but further analysis from ElectionSmith, Inc. makes it even worse. They've found that 98.4 percent of the 2,625 people included on that first list as "potential noncitizens" are eligible voters. That's quite an error rate.
Only 41 registered voters residing in 13 countiesthis is out of the 2,625 names flagged by the Florida SOS as potential noncitizenswere removed from the rolls.
In other words, 98.4% of the 2,625 people identified by the Florida SOS as potential noncitizens remain on the rolls because the Supervisors of Elections found insufficient evidence that they were ineligible to be registered voters.
So Rick's 2012 voter purge 55 days before the 2012 election was just ruled to be an illegal action since it violated the 90 day safety window discussed in the 1993 National Voter Registration act.
Obama won Florida in despite Rick's best attempts to thwart the election in favor of the Republicans, but the move will still cost him in the year that's he's already polling significantly behind Crist. I'd say this is pretty close to the nail in the coffin for Rick Scott, and yet another Governor house going to the democrats...right in time for 2016.
Maybe the SCOTUS ruling will bring him back once all the billionaires (Kochs...) pump money his way.
Rick Scott has lost nearly every single poll to Charlie Crist, and this appeals ruling certainly won't help him.
Yeah..Getting dead people off the rolls, removing those registered in more than one county and removing people no longer residing within the State is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO criminal..
You fucking libs will stop at nothing to fix elections.
