Sure hope this catches on

Let us not rest until Arizona's voter laws are the law of the land.

Now we need to purge the voter rolls so that EVERYBODY needs to register.

[I wonder if dead people are still citizens?] Actually, while Governor Napolitano fights this measure, as a good Democrat, I don't have the sense that there is widespread organized fraud. My perception is from Phoenix. Tucson may be different.

Any takers on when a judge will overturn this?

[Go Gordon]

They argued the changes will erect barriers that will hinder minorities' participation in elections and hamper grassroots voter registration drives.

Yes, it will hamper the registration of illegal voters.

"Arizona requires proof of citizenship to vote"

THIS IS NOT PC! - congrats AZ.

[television is just wrong]

the people who don't vote legally will just forge documents.

[The Wizard]

photo ID should be required in every state to vote, and one day it will be.

[solo gringo]

We need this nation wide.The way it has been is a joke to honest voters.

[Publius6961]

A civil-rights group and Democratic legislators recently had urged the Department of Justice to reject the law. They argued the changes will erect barriers that will hinder minorities' participation in elections and hamper grassroots voter registration drives.

This came right out of Argumentation for Dummies.

The law also erect barriers to the careless and the indifferent, (and, minor point, the fraudulent) who "lose" their documentation. Tough noogies.

Imagine using that excuse to argue that I can't prove I paid 2001 Federal taxes because I "lost" my tax return.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

What I'm hoping for now is a letter in the mail telling me that I have to re-register to vote. That way we can be sure that every voter on the rolls is really a citizen, or really alive, as the case may be.

[Phantom Lord]

Just for fun, here is the DU Thread on the matter.

Just wait for the first person to use a mexican ID card in order to vote in a US election.

2006 is going to have all states with central databases rather than county by county databases.

Why is it not the law in all states to provide photoID to vote? Many states have had this for DECADES.

[Dustbunny]

Excellent idea. In fact it should have been a given in every state for the last 200 years.
