Florida Still Can't Access DHS Citizenship Database

Submitted by Nancy Smith on August 9, 2012 - 10:53pm

Gov. Rick Scott is more than a little miffed.

Nearly a month has passed, according to a statement from his office, since the U.S. Department of Homeland Security agreed to grant Florida access to the federal citizenship database (also known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, or SAVE). But Florida still cannot access the SAVE system.

That means with less than three months to go before the general election, the state remains unable to identify and remove noncitizens from the voting rolls.
