Feds OK Fla. Access to Citizens List http://www.gopusa.com/news/2012/07/16/feds-ok-fla-access-to-citizens-list/?subscriber=1
GOP USA – Charles Babington – 7/16/2012

. . . the federal government has agreed to let Florida use a law enforcement database to challenge people's right to vote if they are suspected of not being U.S. citizens.

The agreement, made in a letter to Florida Gov. Rick Scott's administration that was obtained by The Associated Press, grants the state access to a list of resident noncitizens maintained by the Homeland Security Department. The Obama administration had denied Florida's request for months but relented after a judge ruled in the state's favor in a related voter-purge matter.

The Homeland Security decision may affect places beyond Florida, because Colorado and other states have asked for similar access to the federal database.

After a judge recently ruled against federal efforts to stop Florida's aggressive voter-list review, Homeland Security agreed to work on details for how the state can access the federal SAVE database - Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements - to challenge registered voters suspected of being noncitizens
