Federal court says Want to vote? Prove your citizenship.
The issue has to do with the federal form for voter registration that only requires a registrant to attest that he is a US citizen. If you are not a US citizen and you want to vote, commit voter fraud which is a felony, attesting that you’re a citizen isn’t much of a leap.The Arizona and Kansas state voter registration forms require proof of citizenship, a birth certificate, passport, etc. The Federal Election Assistance Commission refused to modify the federal forms and Judge Eric Melgrin held that the EAC must accede to states’ requests for people to provide proof of citizenship to vote.
This is a big win, not just for Arizona and Kansas, but for every other state waiting to pass legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register. It’s also a huge loss – another huge loss – for the Obama administration, and all other Democrats who depend on voter fraud to win elections.
Now we need a national voter ID law...
