Crazy.

[auboy]

Do they even have to prove they're alive?

Do they even have to prove they're alive?

Not if you register great-grandma as a Democrat.

[NapkinUser]

Just what Arizona needs: illegal aliens voting.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Bastards found a loophole. Damn them.

[SandRat]

Not in "Butch" NapaitRENO's feeble Democ mind.

Because each state is required to individually certify its own vote totals according to its own eligibility requirements (subject to past Constitutional and Supreme Court rulings), I don't personally see that this Federal commission has any jurisdiction here. Of course that's me speaking as an average Joe.

So Arizone, do you wanna assert your rights as a state or not? It would be an interesting test case, IMHO. If I'm the state, though, I might start by arguing that even the Federal guideline cited above believes that citizenship is important (and, duh, the law). Therefore, the state is merely putting some teeth into the commision's own rule.

In other words, you don't have to be a citizen to vote in a federal election. How does our government benefit by having non citizens voting in federal elections?

[dalereed]

" requires only that a voter attest to being a citizen"

Arrest, try, convict, and imprison any illegal caught "attesting to being a citizen" of perjury and it will stop immediatly.

[auboy]

And of course the members of this outstandinglandish panel were elected by huge majorities of the legal citizens of Arizona, right? /sarcasm

"How does our government benefit by having non citizens voting in federal elections?"

The gove3rnment doesn't but the democraps do and the taxpayers take it in the shorts again supporting the welfare state.

Who the hell is this commission? What are their credentials?

[Echo Talon]

What is the point of these propositions? seems like the states never follow them, CA and the gay stuff now this

[chainsaw]

Do they even have to prove they're alive?

Republicans do!

Democrats don't!

[mc6809e]

This kind of nonsense would stop if we could just get the Republicans back in power.

Oh wait...

[nothingnew]

We are on the road to perdition, or if you like another term better, NewWorldOrder, (a phrase I remember GHWB using some years ago). Our ability to remain the USofA and remaining sovereign is going straight to hell, and there is not one person among our "elected" officials who will or can put a stop to it.

I fear for my Republic due to marxist influence in our government. Open eyes/see.

Yeah, and government employee unions benefit by adding more government workers to hand out taxpayer money.

I will not silently give away what my family fought for for 230 years..........

Anyone voting who is not a citizen needs to be taken no questions asked and stood up against a wall and shot!!!
