Florida won access to an immigration database that it says will help combat voter fraud.

The Department of Homeland Security officially granted Florida access to its immigration database on Thursday after nearly a year of bargaining by both parties.
Most notable from this article:
The DOJ issued subpoenas this month to large cities and counties in Florida for information on how they are conducting the purge. The state said it initially identified 180,000 non-citizens on voter rolls. But of that list, the state is only verifying 2,600 suspected ineligible voters. Questions have been raised about that list, since over 500 people on it were found to be citizens.
500 of the 2600 “suspected ineligible voters” were actually citizens. That’s nearly 1 in 5. Almost 20%.
