Phoenix - Gov. Janet Napolitano on Thursday used an appearance before a largely Hispanic audience to veto a bill to require Arizona voters to show identification to cast regular ballots at polling places.

Republican supporters of the bill said it would prevent voter fraud, but Napolitano told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that it would deter voter participation.

Because in this country we honor "diversity"

[ETERNAL WARMING]

No Janet, you want all the illegals you've let in to vote, not "the people."

187 was invalidated by a federal court before Davis took office, was it not?

(any place that requires you show ID to vote is probably breaking the law)

In CT you are required you provide
valid US citizen ID when registering in person and when voting in person at the polls.

The problem is you can register and vote without ever seeing an election registrar or poll official.

Aside from registering using Motor Votor, you can register at CT malls at Limo-Leftie-Lib places like "The Body Shop".

Worse still, you simply call your local City Hall and speak to the city Clerk or Town Registrar and ask for a Voter Registration mail-in application.

When you receive it via USPS, you simply fill out your name and address, then "self-certify" that you are a US citizen and mail it in.

You can also call or write to receive a mail-in absentee ballot about 30 days before the general election.

When you receive the absentee ballot, you merely vote in the elections, even if you are not a US citizen.

Incidentally, using your mailed to you voter registration card, you can use it with cheaply purchased fake IDs.

Worse case scenario:

Pay someone (bribe) in Puerto Rico to send you an authentic official Birth Certificate, which of course is illegal, but will allow you to get a valid Social Security card, any state Driver's License, food stamps, SSA, SSI, Social Security, all all the many various benefits and entitlements that would fill up this page to overflowing.

Don't say this cannot happen or is not happening in huge numbers right now; I got this bag of tricks talking to local Democrats who thought I am a loyal DemocRat at a Dem political function.

Why did they bring this up at a Dem strategy session?

You learn more from the enemy then from your friends...

Incidentally, these serious crimes are never prosecuted by the Feds, State, County, or City.

We are giving away our birthright to vicious thieves and terrorists.

Isn't that special?

WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST WEAR A SIGN

that declares that it is DEMOCRUD policy

to maximize as much VOTER FRAUD AS POSSIBLE!!!

SHEESH.

[Skywalk]

Sometimes direct democracy IS better than the republican form of government isn't it?

Just proving my theory that government of any kind can be corrupt and evil, so only the level of freedom the people enjoy matters.

Voting I don't consider to be a real freedom, if included in it is the right to vote someone else's wages and rights to yourself.

A ***HUGE*** crock of poop *ping*

[presidio9]

Janet Neapolitano is a SQUAW.

What horse manure...people with nothing to hide would not be detered. The only people that would be detered would be the criminal, illegal, dead...etc...Do you really want criminals, illegals and dead people voting ? She's an embarassment to the state and does not follow legal procedure...when will the recall start ?

It makes roads safer for kids? What has she been smoking?

[ought-six]

Whenever something is done "for the children," watch out! Because it is usually an overly oppressive violation of personal liberty and individual rights. "For the children" is the catch-all phrase all the progressives (i.e., leftists and socialists) regularly use to shove through their heinous measures.

[ought-six]

Good God, folks! You are being conquered right before your eyes and are doing NOTHING about it! The La Raza groups have completely taken over your state and local governments and you didn't even know it was happening! The conquest of Arizona and California are just about complete. Welcome to Arizexico and Mexifornia (or, as the La Raza groups call it: Aztlan or Mexico del Norte).

[Kuksool]

{It makes roads safer for kids? What has she been smoking?}

Groups favoring driver licenses for illegals argue that by allowing illegals to apply for driver licenses, they will have to take driver education classes. Thus, the illegals will be educated about our traffic laws. As result, "undocumented residents" will be less likely to harm children on the roadways. Obviously, this is a much of spin, but a lot of people fall for the nonsense.

Override bump.

[jragan2001]

You people in Arizona need to start recall proceedings on
this traitorous witch immediately. She has committed
nothing short of treason by her veto and is thumbing her
nose at the constitution that she was sworn to uphold.
Your state is far too conservative to put up with this
crap and nonsense. I live back here in the southeast
and Illegals here are flooding this area. We are also
having some of the same problems with Illegals that
the good citizens of Arizona are having.

..but Napolitano told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that it would deter voter participation.

Yes, and requiring auto insurance deters people from driving.. but only if they aren't in compliance with the law.

[Jhoffa_]

Who cares? It doesn't matter who we vote for any more. The Supreme Court makes our laws for us.

Yeah, all that state level stuff was such a hassle. Thank goodness our handlers have removed that burden from our sholders.

Gotta run, Oprah's on..

[Jhoffa_]

You will find an honest Democrat the day Christ returns to earth.

No you won't..

[HungarianGypsy]

I'm still waiting to hear about any recall efforts. She has done quite a few questionable things that might be considered borderline, if not downright illegal. I don't know what she needs to do before a recall effort is made.
