Florida Sues Biden Administration over Voter Rolls—Just Weeks Before 2024 Election Showdown
Florida Sues Biden Administration over Voter Rolls—Just Weeks Before 2024 Election Showdown

Here we are, folks—just three weeks out from Election Day 2024, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s Trump versus Kamala Harris, and this election is shaping up to be one for the history books. With the country divided on everything from the economy to immigration, now more than ever, election integrity is at the forefront of people’s minds. B

ut instead of helping states clean up their voter rolls and ensure a fair election, the Biden administration is throwing up roadblocks. And surprise, surprise—it’s Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, that’s stepping up to fight back.

Florida just slapped the Biden administration with a major lawsuit, accusing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of refusing to verify immigration records. Why does this matter? Because Florida wants to ensure that only citizens—yes, legal citizens—are voting in the upcoming election. It’s common sense, right? Well, not if you ask Biden’s team, which seems determined to muddy the waters just as the country gears up for one of the most critical elections in modern history.

Florida Fights Back for Election Integrity

Let’s set the stage. The 2024 election isn’t just another contest—it’s a battle for the soul of the country. On one side, you’ve got Donald Trump, the former president who’s been through two impeachments, multiple legal battles, and even survived two assassination attempts. On the other side, there’s Kamala Harris, who jumped into the race late after Biden stepped aside, hoping to ride the wave of Democratic support straight into the White House.

But now, just weeks before the election, Florida is stepping in to ensure that noncitizens don’t get a chance to influence the outcome. And they’re getting serious about it. Florida’s lawsuit, filed against the Biden administration, is about protecting election integrity—something the Democrats seem to have conveniently forgotten.

From Fox News:
The state of Florida is suing the Biden administration over what it claims is a refusal to verify immigration records so that the Sunshine State can ensure the integrity of its voter rolls and prevent noncitizens from voting.

So, what’s really going on here? Florida is trying to do something every state should be doing—making sure their voter rolls are accurate and up-to-date. If you’re not a U.S. citizen, you shouldn’t be voting in U.S. elections. It’s that simple. But apparently, the Biden administration doesn’t see it that way.

Biden’s Administration Stonewalls Weeks Before Election

Let’s not beat around the bush: this isn’t just about some bureaucratic paperwork. It’s about making sure the 2024 election is fair. Florida has requested help from the federal government to verify immigration records—something the DHS is legally obligated to assist with. But instead of complying, the Biden administration has decided to dig in its heels.

From Fox News:
In a lawsuit, obtained first by Fox News Digital, the state argues that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is mandated to respond to an inquiry from state or local governments seeking to verify the immigration status of anyone in their jurisdiction for a purpose authorized by law.

This isn’t some wild, outlandish request. Florida is following the law and asking the DHS to do the same. So why the resistance? Well, it’s no secret that Democrats have long benefited from loose election laws and questionable voter rolls. For years, they’ve been accused of turning a blind eye to noncitizen voting, using illegal immigration to boost their political power. And now, they seem determined to stop Florida from cleaning up its voter lists.

Why This Matters for Trump vs. Harris

Election integrity has been a huge issue for voters in recent years, especially for Trump supporters who have long raised concerns about fraud and the vulnerabilities of the voting system. With only weeks to go before voters hit the polls, ensuring that every legal vote counts—and only legal votes count—is essential.

This election could be decided by razor-thin margins, especially in key battleground states like Florida. Remember, Trump’s 2016 victory hinged on a handful of electoral votes in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Florida, with its 30 electoral votes, could very well determine the outcome of this election. If noncitizens are allowed to vote in such a critical state, it could swing the election in Kamala Harris’ favor, and that’s exactly what Florida is trying to prevent.

Florida’s lawsuit isn’t just about protecting its own voter rolls—it’s about protecting the integrity of the entire election. If noncitizens are allowed to vote, even in small numbers, it undermines the legitimacy of the entire process. Trump has already warned that this election could be rigged against him, and with Biden’s administration actively resisting efforts to clean up voter rolls, it’s hard not to see why he might be concerned.

What’s Biden’s Endgame?

So, why would the Biden administration resist something as simple as verifying immigration status? The answer seems obvious—politics. Democrats know that a clean, transparent election isn’t necessarily going to go their way. And with Kamala Harris struggling in the polls, especially in battleground states, the last thing they want is for Florida to clean up its voter rolls and potentially reduce the number of voters in key districts.

Let’s face it, the Democratic Party has a long history of using illegal immigration to their advantage. Their open-border policies have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour into the country, and now they’re pushing for measures like automatic voter registration, knowing full well that it could benefit them at the polls.

In the final stretch before Election Day, Florida’s fight for election integrity couldn’t be more important. And while Biden’s team might be doing everything in their power to resist, the truth is clear: only legal votes should count. Anything less undermines our democracy.

Key Takeaways:

  • Florida Takes Action: Florida is suing the Biden administration for refusing to verify immigration records, a critical step in ensuring only citizens can vote in the 2024 election.
  • Biden’s DHS Stonewalls: The Department of Homeland Security is dragging its feet, frustrating Florida’s ability to clean up its voter rolls and keep noncitizens off the rolls.
  • The Stakes Are Huge: With just weeks before the 2024 election, this lawsuit is a crucial step in protecting election integrity in a battleground state that could decide the outcome.
