World War II Veteran Purged from Florida Voter Rolls
Made popular 359 days ago in Opinion
wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu — An Army World War II Veteran, who was awarded the Bronze Star as a medic in the Battle of the Bulge and honored by France with its Chevalier Legion of Honour, received another distinction from the State of Florida this year.

Ninety-one year old Bill Internicola said he was amazed and a little insulted when he read a letter that said he'd been disqualified as a voter. The Stars and Stripes reports he recently received the letter purging him from the voter rolls that stated:

“The Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office has received information from the state of Florida that you are not a United States citizen; however you are registered to vote.’’
Florida is a vital swing state in this year’s presidential election. The WWII Veteran participated in a news conference Tuesday that was arranged to demonstrate flaws in the state’s effort to purge voter rolls prior to the election.

“I never had any trouble. I voted here for the last 15 years,” Internicola told freelance reporter Patricia Sagastume. “ To me, it’s like an insult.”

Nice try. You must not be a citizen otherwise you wouldn't be complaining about it. On the other hand, you libs complain about everything that is right for the Country.

And a picture ID is not discriminatory nor harder on any one group than any other. All hogwash from the party of skullduggery and cheating who use an ass for their party logo.
