Voter ID Battle Shifts to Proof of Citizenship

voter fraud should cause an immediate loss of 501(c)(3) status.

If ACORN is so concerned that their people can't afford this, all they need to do is call their buddy George Soros to write a check. But for some odd reason, it is easier to go to court and cry wolf.

That's how we know that the leftists' anti-ID agenda is bullcrap. For a pittance (covered by donations), their volunteers could assist the poor and downtrodden in writing to the appropriate bureaucracy to obtain a birth certificate. It's not hard to do, and even the notoriously corrupt and inefficient Peoples' Republic of Maryland managed (in 2003) to get me a new birth cert in about 2 weeks time.

It is hard to call them incompetent when the form they picked up at the Post Office was the wrong one.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I understand your point. I was referring to incompetence on the part of the state.

[gridlock]

I’ve actually had leftists argue that non-citizens/illegals should vote because they have a stake in the outcome of elections.

I have heard that argument as well, but I reject it, of course. If these non-citizen/illegals want to vote, they can become legal citizens first!

[MrB]

I thought it was such a ridiculous argument that I dismiss it out of hand as an example of moonbattery.

[Vigilanteman]

In a sane world, ACORN would have their tax exempt status withdrawn, all of their voter registrations canceled and be indicted under the RICO statues.

[ArrogantBustard]

In a sane world,

BBBBWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeewwwww!!!!

Whew ....

Sanity absconded for parts unknowns years ago ...

I’ve known a couple people here illegally claiming that they should have the right to vote because the outcome of the US elections affects the world. One of them claimed that he didn’t want to be a US citizen though as he liked to travel and he wouldn’t feel comfortable traveling on a US passport.

[MrB]

It’s no wonder we don’t get along with the left.

Their thought processes are as f’d up as a pile of clothes hangers.

The state should efficiently register every citizen who applies to vote.

Flicken is and unabashedly open borders advocate.

Legal residents aren't citizens

That's a damn good point.

A really big issue here in California. In addition to the massive illegal alien presence in Los Angeles and the Central Valley, we have significant numbers of LPR's here, and H1-B's.

Predictably, they are agitating for the vote. And of course the Leftists want them to get it, because we all know what they will do with it: vote to confiscate money and property from Americans to give to themselves.

San Francisco (of course) is already running the "well lets just let them vote for the school board" bit. This is just incrementalism designed to get the nose under the tent - next it'll be local officials, then county, then....voting for the entire world, whoever happens to have just slithered into the country.

A citizenship test is now plausible because the Arizona law was upheld. Now we'll see if the Republicans in California have the guts to do anything like that.

Legal residents aren't citizens.

Excellent point.

[TheLion]

Bttt!

[absalom01]

I think things are pretty much past whatever the Republicans have the guts for. Just a matter of being able to count the votes as they exist on the ground today ... not a few years down the road, but right here and now.

Back in 1994, when prop. 187 passed, things were different. We could say then “hey, if we don’t do something right now, we’re going to have a big problem in five or ten years.” Well, the ‘Rat governor, and a Clinton-appointed Judge managed to gut 187, and guess what? All of the chicken littles of 1994 turned out to be right — we have a big problem, and no longer have the electoral ability to change course.

Now, the current debate in Sacramento is about the exact issue you mention: how to raise taxes on the remaining productive citizens, in order to shower benefits on the lefty voters. Heck of a mess, but danged if I can figure a way out of it at this point.
