Doesn’t AZ have separate ballots for federal elections because a judge told them they have to allow non-citizens to vote in federal elections?
OK, I guess it’s about whether the person has to prove their eligibility to vote. AZ requires proof of eligibility but a judge ruled that the Motor Voter Act governs presidential and federal elections and doesn’t require any proof so states can’t require any proof of voter eligibility for federal elections. So AZ uses a form where people who don’t want to provide proof of citizenship to simply sign their names to a statement saying they are US citizens when they request a federal ballot.
It seems like the federal law has a loophole for people who think they are citizens to vote. Frog in a pot, what part of that federal law is it that you believe closes that loophole?
Thing is, even if there is a provision to punish those who vote after falsely swearing that they are US citizens, by then the damage is done, unless those votes are kept as provisional votes to be counted only AFTER citizenship is proven.
Did the judge rule that HAVA (Help America Vote Act) means that everybody who the federal law says has to be allowed to vote (even those who haven’t proven citizenship) also have to have their votes necessarily counted rather than cast as provisional votes?
