Tallahassee, FL -- May 29, 2012 --
Six Democratic members of Congress are asking Florida Gov. Rick Scott to suspend a push to remove voters from the rolls.
Democrats sent a letter Tuesday to Scott questioning the timing and the accuracy of the effort to purge voters identified as non U.S. citizens.
The state has already put out an initial list of more than 2,600 people identified as non-U.S. citizens. But local election officials charged with checking the list have discovered errors.
State election officials have compared driver's licenses with voter registration data and found that as many as 182,000 registered voters are eligible to be in the country but ineligible to vote.
Those who signed the letter were: U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Corrine Brown, Kathy Castor, Ted Deutch, Alcee Hastings and Frederica Wilson.
