In the key swing-state of Florida, election supervisors are getting ready to purge voter rolls in an effort to ensure only legal citizens will be casting votes this November.

An investigation in one county discovered 28 people on the roll were not U.S. citizens.

Officials hope to compare the Federal Citizenship database to the state's list of non-citizen voters.

Many are against the move, saying it unfairly targets minority groups.
