States not permitted to alter federal voter registration form to require proof of citizenship.
The Supreme Court today refused to accept a case which sought to allow states to supplement a federal voter registration form so as to require proof of citizenship to vote.
Such proof is particularly important given how freely many states are handing out drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, and the Obama administrations unilateral implementation of quasi-amnesty deferrals (some of which were stopped in court). Its just not enough anymore that someone is here legally (or at least, is not being deported)

This is not just a battle of forms. Its a battle for preventing theft of elections.

Fork. Stuck. Done.
RIP to the Republic, we hardly knew ye.
You know, I think if we elect more lesser evil Republicans, they’ll put a stop to this.
7-2. That means a “conservative” jumped ship. Who??
Nevermind the horde of illegals behind you. Voting will save us!

Thanks I needed a Laugh....
Yeah, that actually made me laugh out loud, and then weep a little bit.

Better not have been Scalia or Thomas....
Oh, all of a sudden we’re adhering to every word, comma and period.
Prior to the release of the Obamacare decision, there were @sshats on SCOTUSblog pimping for Obama to be put on the Supreme Court after (if) he leaves the White Mosque in 2017.
Sadly, I’m at a loss to see how his opinions would be any different than those of Chief Injustice Roberts.
Federal Voter registration form?
Voting is up to the states.
Not to worry. Rock Ribbed freeper conservative will hold their feet to the fire thus giving the GOP time to save us.
Just like they did with the lesser evils they demanded we elect.
This Decision should be Re-Named...
The 2015 SCOTUS Hillary Clinton Enabling Act....
Voting Procedures in Honduras, a Banana Republic!
(a re-write of excellent post by Gideon300)
I had the opportunity to go watch my wife, a citizen of Honduras, vote in last years presidential election in Tegucigalpa. It was a real eye-opener, and I can only wish the US had such a strict voting process.
Everyone in Honduras is required to vote in the precinct which is indicated on their government issued (free) photo ID card. Every citizen over 18 is required to have an national ID, and everyone with an ID can vote. No one else, and no one is registered as a member of a certain party, merely a citizen. My wifes precinct is Barrio El Bosque, so she was required to go to the Escuela de 14 de Julio (local elementary school) if
she wanted to vote.
When we arrived at the voting place there were hundreds of people milling around the street and a long line was waiting to enter. The entire scene was closely watched over by Army and Policía Nacionál to make sure order was kept. For the most part everything was quite orderly, and people were polite to each other even with the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. After showing ID, passing the guard and entering the school we went to the main table in the courtyard where they ran her ID through a computer and she was given a little slip of paper that indicated her name, her precinct, her mesa (voting area) and linea number (her number on the voter registration list). Every citizen is automatically registered to vote, and their name, Id photo and precinct number is on a list posted in that precinct.
The mesas in this case are rooms in the school, numbered in order to handle the hundreds of people waiting to vote. Her mesa was number 8586, so after finding the room, there was a list of all registered voters beside the door. She checked her line number with photo, 235, to make sure she is at the right door, the man watching the door checked her ID against the list, and let her in. She went to the table inside the room
for a ballot, was checked again for ID and compared it to the info and photo in the registry, was given two ballots, one for president and one for congress, and this time they held her ID while she voted. I was allowed in as a foreign observer, but was not on school tables for privacy, so after voting she deposited her ballots in the appropriate boxes, was given her ID back and we left.
I wanted to take photos but no cameras were allowed anywhere but in the street. No alcohol is sold anywhere in Honduras from Saturday through Monday, the day before and the day after election.
They take voter ID, and potential vote fraud, VERY seriously. All ballots are paper, and all have the candidates info and photo. There are eight official parties in Honduras, and the one with the most votes wins. The police and the army watch the voting very closely. One woman was caught with an extra ballot, and was immediately arrested. The Honduras news media, which is quite politically unbiased, indicated that both local and official foreign observers found only three cases of vote fraud in the entire country.
It was certainly an eye-opener for me! If this is the difference between a the US and a Banana Republic, then Ill take a banana republic election anytime.
Could Arizona just require proof of citizenship for non federal election portion of the ballot ?
Valid votes are now sanctioned by FRAUDULENT votes.
Thanks, SCOTUS.
Este es el final de la República, como sabemos que ... ... ... ... ... ..
Definition of SCOTUS: the complete absence of jurisprudence.
I received my California Driver’s License renewal form Friday. There is a box to check if you wish to register to vote. Nowhere does it say that you must be a U.S. citizen.
