DOJ rejects Handel appeal

[Dacula]

Karen has been protecting the rights of legal citizens and this ruling is wrong.

[St. Louis Conservative]

What’s next for Handel then?

[San Jacinto]

That federal law required states to verify voters’ identity, but not necessarily citizenship.

I had to laugh. But it ain't funny.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The Bummer DOJ is a “dodge” all right.

[traditional1]

"which could include suing the Justice Department in Federal Court"

It all seems so futile, when the Courts are packed with those more concerned with the "rights" of minorities (including ILLEGALS), than the negative affect that illegally-cast votes whereby they cancel out the value of American Citizens who are honest, and LEGAL.

Try doing ANYTHING without legal ID. These libs are freakin’ illogical. I think that they are just laying the groundwork for all of the illegals being made legal. Good-bye USA.

[traditional1]

“affect” should be “effect” (my bad)

[Red Steel]

The state of Georgia should go with their plan and let the DoJ sue them in court.

[wiggen]

why protect the vote of citizens? the DOI-department of Injustice

[DoughtyOne]

What does the justice department suggest, to make sure illegal immigrants are not voting?

[Red Steel]

Georgia should ignore the DoJ.

[hattend]

What’s “state’s rights”?

[b4its2late]

I wonder who’s in charge of DOJ?

[DoughtyOne]

While I share that sentiment, the DOJ that couldn’t be bothered over a series of decades to help fix this problem, would be on Georgia officials within 24 hours after they tried to fix it on their own.

We have a fine mess on our hands.

[July4]

This is INSANE. How much more craziness can our republic take? You don’t have to be a citizen to vote?

Let’s start talking RECALL, IMPEACH, or INDICT.

[Little Bill]

The Voting rights Act of 1968”, should be repealed. It has out lived its usefulness.

[La Lydia]

It is going to get interesting next year when the rest of Real ID kicks in and you need an amazing amount of documentation to renew your drivers license, etc. Non-citizens have NO RIGHT TO VOTE. And their participation in elections is a distortion of our system of government. ACORN has been active in Maryland registering illegals to vote and fighting off attempts to prevent their participation in elections. Their voting definitely affected the outcome of the last two elections there. I believe when the history books are written (if they are allowed to be written) the electoral fraud that ACORN has accomplished will be shown to have produced skewed election results where ever it has operated.

[OldDeckHand]

"What’s “state’s rights”?"

This is why some people (including me) wanted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to expire. That act gave the DOJ oversight (for lack of a better term) authority over a number of Southern states with respect to their voter laws. Essentially, for a court to rule with Handel here, they're going to have to rule at least part of the VRA is unconstitutional. The chance of that happening, for all sorts of reason, is slim and none.

Bush shouldn't have signed that extension. But, he did. So, we're stuck with it.

[ExTexasRedhead]

The “concerned” in the government won’t even verify if the voter is alive; many dead are rising up from their graves to vote. Wonder who the dead are voting for?

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I wonder. /s
