On July 27 the United States intervened in the pending case of Mi Familia Bota Education Fund, et al. v. Ken Detzner in the Federal District Court in Tampa. In a Statement of Interest the U.S. argues that the removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls cannot occur in the 5 counties subject to federal review under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act because the removal process has not been approved by the Department of Justice. Previously, in a related case pending in Tallahassee the court denied a request by the U.S. to stop on a statewide basis the removal of non-citizens from the voter rolls. In that case the U. S. unsuccessfully argued that the removal violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
