Gov. Scott suing federal government in attempt to purge voter roles
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- Governor Rick Scott spent a busy day in our area. He started with a bill signing in Boca Raton and later toured the Riviera Beach marina. City officials are hoping Scott can help them with a $15 million marina expansion project.
Tonight Gov. Scott is making waves for a different matter. Late this afternoon Scott decided to sue the federal government in an attempt to purge the voter roles of non-citizens. He made the surprise announcement after talking about the situation in Boca Raton.

Governor Scott not backing down, vowing for a long fight. Demanding to be able to check the citizenship status of registered voters against federal databases. But the U.S. government isn't cooperating. This is what the governor said this morning in Boca Raton.
Gov. Scott: I believe the federal government is going do the their job and give us the save database, allow us to do our job. Clearly there shouldn't be a debate about this. It's clear people have registered to vote, that weren't entitled. They voted, it's not right, it's a crime.
But just a few hours later Governor Scott announced of the Fox News Channel that he was suing to get the needed information to check to make sure all registered voters are legally allowed to vote.
