78% Favor Proof of Citizenship Before Being Allowed to Vote

Excerpted:

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

A federal judge last week upheld the right of states to require proof of citizenship before allowing someone to register to vote. Voters continue to overwhelmingly support such a requirement.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 78% of Likely U.S. Voters believe everyone should be required to prove his or her citizenship before being allowed to register to vote. That’s up from 71% a year ago. Just 19% oppose that requirement. (

America really, really needs leadership which advocates policies which grow American businesses, in America, and benefit those of us in the American workforce.

Globalization is killing America.

Bring back American businesses. GOP bring back American businesses.

Now.

Kinda surprising, surely more than 22% in this country are Dems.

How true. Consider the Election officials in some areas are not citizens. Then you have Holder/DOJ saying it is unfair. Until we impeach or convict Holder, nothing will change.

Let’s stop the early and/or absentee voting (except for the military). It is an opportunity to make ballots disappear. I know damn well that’s what they’re doing.

Watching the news reports recently of voting in Crimea, I was interested to note all voters presenting some form of ID before voting.

“require proof of citizenship before allowing someone to register to vote”

Different from the headline.

Yes, for registering, but I wouldn’t be against it every time they actually vote.

Note that even if you are a citizen, the Supreme Court clarified in Minor v. Happersett, 1874 that citizenship doesn't guarantee the "right" to vote.

Also, note that the only reason that citizens are so concerned about federal elections is because of the federal government's perceived powers. In other words, as a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are being taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, people don't understand that the states have never granted Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to establish much of the federal spending programs that many citizens now rely on. Corrupt federal politicians then take advantage of low-information voters by making all kinds of constitutionally indefensible campaign "promises" in order to get themselves elected.

Never mind disappearing. Early voting (as in MD...yyeeech) is another sign of a banana republic. Basically, any old time you want, go ahead and vote! Doesn’t matter if you are dead by the time the ACTUAL election and tally occurs, go ahead! It is totally unfair.

It should be changed to Monday and Tuesday. (Better for working folks, too.) AND no votes counted and/or revealed until after the polls are closed.

Requiring proof of citizenship would obviously be just another right wing extremist attempt to suppress the vote, and it would endanger Dim success in many parts of the US.

True, and maybe throw in Saturday to make voting even more convenient for working folks. All this early voting and absentee voting is made to order for all sorts of vote fraud.

78% you say?

That leaves 22% of the American population as total idiots.

Just sayin’
