fficials in Arizona are seeking to ensure that residents who cannot prove they are United States citizens do not vote in statewide elections. According to the Associated Press, Attorney General Tom Horne and Secretary of State Ken Bennett announced on Monday that "residents who haven't submitted proof of citizenship won't be able vote for such offices as governor, secretary of state, attorney general and candidates for the state Legislature." The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Arizona "couldn't require such documentation to cast ballots for federal offices," and the "only federal offices on Arizona ballots next year will be U.S. House seats." "Because Arizona law requires a registration applicant to provide evidence of citizenship, registrants who have not provided sufficient evidence of citizenship should not be permitted to vote in state and local elections," Horne wrote in a previous opinion, according to the Associated Press. Lawsuits are expected to challenge the action, which Arizona Democrats and the American Civil Liberties Union have already criticized. According to the Associated Press, "the vast majority of Arizonans register by using a state form that requires proof of citizenship, such as a driver's license, U.S. birth certificate, passport or other similar document." The federal registration form, though, "requires registrants only to say they're citizens, but it doesn't require they submit proof."

Woot! Barry and his pal Holder can KMA!
TESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a start ... now let’s take back the Grand Canyon from the FEDs.
And they are correct. I hope they kick Eric the Corrupt’s butt in court.
Obama better not plan on retiring to Arizona and ever voting again....just saying...not a birther or anything....just think he is really not much of an American.
More like a Muslim terrorist who overstayed his welcome in the peoples house.
Did the Supreme Court of the Used To Be United States say how AZ could ID real qualified voters, or did they say, “just let anyone vote (as long as they vote for a Dem)”.
Hey, if Obama and Holder can ignore the law and any ensuing lawsuits, so can the state of Arizona.
I wonder how many other countries on this planet have a similar voter ID policy...
Isn't it remarkable that Democrats and the ACLU are ALWAYS against honest elections?
Can you imagine going through life ALWAYS defending duplicity and fraud?
How can they look at themselves in the mirror?
They must, at some level, truly hate themselves.
Booyah!
Gov Brewer should have taken the initiative of issuing photo ID’s whenever anybody applied for obamacare.
In fact, note that the states have amended the Constitution to protect voting rights only on the bases on race, sex, tax status and age as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments respectively.
Also, note that the Founding States made the Constitution's Clause 1 of Section 2 of Article I to clarify that the states must apply the same voter qualification laws used to elect state officials to elections for members of the House of Representatives.
And by unconstitutionally interfering in Article V and 10th Amendment-protected state power to regulate voting, pro-big federal government activist justices are doing nothing more than the following. They are protecting unconstitutional federal government expansion of powers imo, corrupt federal lawmakers buying votes with constitutionally indefensible welfare.
Finally, as I've ranted in other threads, the reason that the federal government continues to get away with the unconstitutional expansion of its powers is the following. Generations of parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the Constitution as the Founding States had intended for it to be understood, particularly the Founders' division of federal and state government powers.

I’m sorry for the double post.
PLEASE don’t worry about it.
Arewezonin! AZ gettin’ uppity.
WOO-HOO!
God bless Arizona!
"The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second years by the people of the several states, and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature."
Notwithstanding constitutional amendments regarding minimum age, gender or race discrimination, etc. the states set voter qualifications.
The framers got it right.
No doubt. As an Arizona voter, IT IS NOT A HARDSHIP TO SHOW ID. (cap rant over)
