Ann Mcfall-- Republican ..County Election Supervisor, Will Not Resume Voter Purge No Matter What..
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/06/12/497973/gop-election-supervisor-blasts-florida-lawsuit-against-feds//By Josh Israel posted from ThinkProgress Justice on Jun 12, 2012 at 9:30 am
Even if Gov. Rick Scotts (R-FL) administration prevails in its new lawsuit against the Obama administration, his efforts to purge voters before Novembers election still faces a major obstacle the county elections supervisors, including 30 Republicans, who have the ultimate authority over the voting rolls.
Republican Ann McFall, county supervisor of elections for Volusia County, told ThinkProgress that the lawsuit does not have her support and she will not resume purging voters before the elections, regardless of the suits outcome:
No I do not support the lawsuit. It is [about] helping the Governor and Secretary of State improve their image. I am not doing any further voter purge until after Nov 2012.

Here is an interview with Ann McFall that Rachel Maddow did on June 6 if you are wondering who this person is...
The entire interview is worth listening to, Rachel does a terrific job of explaination and clarification on the topic, but
the Interview with McFall starts at about 6 minutes in.

she said the Supervisors did an extensive "clean-up" in 2011 and there is absolutely no need for another one now.

I believe that this may be his downfall..It costs a lot to carry this on, and many Florida voters do not like that.
