I thought states could do whatever the F they want in terms of elections. You can waive signature verification, verified addresses, postmarks, and other processes that increase vote fraud - - but DO NOT ask for reliable identification.

Spit.

“Roughly 30,000 people were prevented from registering to vote during the three years the law was in effect”.

I’m calling BS on this. Why were these people not able to register? If you really want to vote, you can find a way to get ID.

Unconstitutional to require proof of citizenship to vote?

Unbelievable how upside down this court is.

the state's own expert estimated that almost all of those were U.S. citizens who were eligible to vote.

Dale Ho, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project who argued the case,

Yahoo! says an ACLU communist hack is Kansas's own expert? The whole article is dripping with commie propaganca.

"Unsubstantiated"?

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Kansas that sought to revive a law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Sane nations ensure that only citizens of those nations vote in their elections. Our Supreme Court - chock-full of Federalist Society-approved justices - just rejected the notion.

Hard to tell without a court opinion, but my guess is that it costs money to get a copy of a birth cert or passport. If the state provided those docs for free, then I’d bet there wouldn’t be a problem. Easy way out to avoid a Constitutional assessment of whether non-citizens have a right to vote or not.

Why tf have we allowed our country to become a place where ensuring the identity of voters as citizens is “racist”?

Well, that was essentially the case until the 1965 Voting Rights Act that singled out specific states - in The South - and laid many additional requirements on them to placate the minority and promote the dem socialist party.

And there are people on this site that argue against secession..

Since the “election” if you can call it that, I have determined that the only way to exist is to have a full and complete divorce from these sons a bitches in the “blue” states.

There seems to be a concerted effort by the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of government at the Federal, State, and Local levels to hide information about people who are illegally registered to vote.

I suspect our government does not want the ‘common folks’ to know that millions of non-citizens have been voting for years.

Early into his Presidency Trump began the process of opening the eyes of America’s citizens about the ‘deep state’.

By advocating so, a target was put on Trump’s back to get rid of him by any means, legal or illegal.

Pray tell, if the ALCU was able to determine that most of them were citizens, why could those “citizens” not prove same in order to register? Smells like used food.

“””Kansas had been the only state to require people to show a physical document such as a birth certificate or passport when applying to register to vote. The issue is distinct from state laws that call for people to produce driver licenses or other photo IDs to cast a vote in person.”””


By the way, Florida approached the problem of non-citizens registering to vote in a different way.

In Florida when a person applies for a Driver’s License or renews an existing Driver’s License, the person has to provide ‘proof of citizenship’. That proof could be a birth certificate, naturalization papers, or a passport.

When the person receives their new license, the license has a hologram on the face indicating the person is a US Citizen. No hologram on non-citizen drivers license.

This process is not foolproof in preventing non-citizens from voting, but it does put a roadblock in their way.

Some ways a non-citizen gets around this roadblock are:
1. Vote absentee
2. Show a poll worker an ID other than a drivers license

Throughout the USA we have statutes saying that only citizens can vote. A law not enforced is not a law.

I'll bet that those folks were stopped from registering, went back home, got their IDs, returned to the registrar's office and registered successfully.

Between November and now, the USSC as *effectively* decided, that - in the USA:

- any body, dead or alive, can vote

- any person of the world, can vote

- any “ballot” is a ballot to be counted

With this kind of crap coming out of the Supreme Court is there any wonder that our elections are so corrupt and messed up. I am coming to the conclusion that the only answer to corrupt political judges, corrupt politicians, biased media and big tech and the deep state is civil war.

Requiring a proof of citizenship to register to vote should be de rigeur for elections. Nowadays, since illegal aliens can get Driver’s Licenses in some states, and resident aliens can normally get those, that would have to go beyond just showing the Driver’s License. And motor voter would have to be eliminated, combined with a law mandating that employers must allow their citizen employees a bit of time to go to the courthouse or BOE to register.

Every single immigrant with a drivers license in motor voter states receives a registration, the only “safeguard” is a small check box that says, “I am eligible to vote.”
Immigrants are voting. Guaranteed.
