but i think if you look back over what s happened, the governor has emerged with a i think, a win/win situation for him. because he s energized his tea party base who believes that, for example,(tiat obama stole the election in 2008 to begin with. and there are all of these dead people and illegals in the voting rolls which you and i both know is a complete falsehood. he s gotten away with that in the press in florida. he doesn t need to have an act to purge. he s already intimidated and frightened voters who are concerned over whether their votes will count this november. judith, can you believe some conservatives in florida thinks obama stole an election in 2008. let me ask you. you filed a separate lawsuit. how do you view all this in florida and how do you view the override of the veto by the governor in new hampshire? that s right. well, reverend sharpton, the
hispanics, democrats, and independents to be purged off the florida voter rolls. do you think that pattern will continue as the state adds more names to the purge list? or has it just been a coincidence that it has turned out that way so far? joining us now is judith browne diana. he s a civil rights attorney and co-director of the advancement project. she represented the naacp in a 2000 lawsuit to remedy voting rights in florida. thanks for being here. thanks for having me, rachel. you are much more deeply involved in the vagueries of florida voting law than i am. did i get anything wrong in the way i explained what s going on in florida now in terms of how you understand the facts? you got it right. okay. it s complicated and it s quickly changing and a lot of this stuff hasn t been debated. it seems to being done at the initiative of the florida governor. is the governor consulting with lawyers in order to is this the kind of thing that other states are doing?
