Appeals Court Won't Review Florida Voter Purge Case Until After Election 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news affecting another battleground state, a federal appeals court
has decided not to rule on a challenge to Florida's plan to purge nearly
200 voters from the rolls until after the election. Florida had
initially claimed to have identified nearly 200,000 possible non-citizen
voters, but that number was downgraded to about 2,600. Officials now say
they have identified 198 people who are non-citizens.
