The review began after Florida’s Division of Elections compared voter registration rolls with a state driver’s license database to come up with a list of potential noncitizen voters. That master list contained 182,000 names of potential noncitizens. The state forwarded an initial roster of 2,600 of the names to independent county election supervisors, asking them to send letters to those voters requesting proof of citizenship. If no proof was provided, the voters would be dropped from the rolls. The state would then send more names.
But the list was flawed; many people on it who had been contacted came forward to say they had been born in the United States, or were naturalized citizens. County election supervisors quickly grew critical of the list, saying better information was needed. Advocates for voters and minorities began to complain, calling the voter scrub unjust.
