TALLAHASSEE, Fla – Federal authorities are demanding that Florida halt its ongoing push to remove thousands of voters from the rolls.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday sent a letter contending the state's efforts to identify ineligible voters violates federal voting laws.

Federal officials say procedures the state is using to identify non-U.S. citizens have not been reviewed. Florida must get approval for changes in voting procedures because five counties are still covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
