Illegals have the right to vote?

The lawyers say they've sampled more than 2,000 state registration forms which were rejected because applicants had failed to provide the required proof of citizenship. Of that group, fewer than 15 percent successfully registered after receiving notice of the rejection. "Therefore, many eligible voters across Arizona have been disenfranchised by these unnecessary bureaucratic policies,'' the lawsuit states.

How do you prove they are eligible voters without producing proof of citizenship?

BS.

There are no “federal elections” - the constitution is clear here - all votes are for state representation, either in the form of actual representatives or for “electors” which will vote as decided in the electoral college.

Further, the constitution gives the STATES the power to determine eligibility requirements with the exception of age and... BEING A CITIZEN.

“At least 26,000 voters in Maricopa County alone have been disenfranchised by these policies,’’ the lawsuit states.”

What are their names and addresses?

Why does the League of United Latin American Citizens and the Arizona Students Association leadership want illegal aliens to vote?

Why?

Perhaps they want to subvert the proper outcome of the election. Wouldn’t that be a crime?

Why aren’t they under criminal investigation?

Why?

I need an ID to buy Sudafed, spray paint, and to get on an airplane.

People without IDs in the USA are either illegally here or they “lost” it because of their outstanding warrants.

The proof of citizenship is nothing more than a birth certificate. The state or federal people have a copy of it unless it does not exist due to it never being created as there was no birth within the confines of the US.

A person is capable of getting a birth certificate overnight if it exists:

Although the process varies state to state, these general steps can help you get started. Replace your birth certificate. Find the vital records office in the state where you were born. Check to find out if you can obtain a certified copy of yourbirth certificate without any identification and follow the instructions.

So this isn’t a matter of being disenfranchised, it is a matter of the person either not doing the work or is here illegally or is not allowed to vote.

And they contend that those whose state registrations are rejected for lack of citizenship proof are not informed of that option.

That's the whole issue, isn't it? People who are not citizens actually do NOT have a right to vote. And if they are citizens, they should have no trouble producing proof.

Legal papers filed Tuesday in federal court here acknowledge that state law requires would-be voters to produce certain identification when registering. That requirement has been upheld in prior court rulings.

But attorneys for the League of United Latin American Citizens and the Arizona Students Association point out that the U.S. Supreme Court has said that state law does not — and cannot — prevent people from registering to vote for federal elections using a federally approved registration form. And they contend that those whose state registrations are rejected for lack of citizenship proof are not informed of that option.

nor do felons, but some how they still swarm the voting stations and the post office box with ballots. So do multiple voters.

The definition of eligible voter is anyone, living, dead, citizen, or illegal alien, likely to vote for a DemocRat.

The solution is for Congress to clarify the law. Either:

1) Each state can determine its own criteria subject only to the 14th Amendment Due Process of Law that explicitly applies only to Citizens.

2) Increase the central government control of elections by telling each state how to run its own business and further turning the states into nothing less than federal agencies and not sovereign states at all.

If they get rejected for not having proper identification an ICE officer should go to their house to help them get proper ID if they are citizens and a nice ride to the border if they are not. Problem solved.

‘And the Arizona Students Association’

This is just students wanting to vote in their home state AND in Arizona. No easy way to check on that double-voting. The Left will pull out ALL the stops to gain the House and Senate in 2018. We had better be prepared!

Interesting conclusion by the lawsuit editors.

My conclusion would be that 85% of them did not qualify for the paperwork to prove their citizenship and had falsely applied.

How many legitimate citizens are denied their right to vote because some illegitimate voter cast a ballot that cancelled out the true citizen’s vote? The claim of denial of the right to vote cuts both ways.
