Monday’s big election law news came from the Supreme Court’s penultimate decision of the term upholding Arizona’s congressional districts.
But before handing down its last three decisions, the court made voting-rights advocates happy by deciding not to review a different election case.
“Arizona citizens can continue to participate in voter registration drives without worrying about not having proof of citizenship documents,” Shirley Sandelands, of the League of Women Voters of Arizona, said in a statement Monday.
The case, Kobach, et al. v. Election Assistance Commission, et al., was about whether Arizona and Kansas could require voters to prove their citizenship when registering to vote with the so-called “federal form.” Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach led the suit against the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which was an appeal of a lower court decision.
Both Kansas and Arizona have state laws that require applicants to prove their citizenship when applying to vote with state forms (for state or federal elections). But the U.S. EAC denied the states’ requests to have their citizenship laws applied when would-be voters use the standardized federal form.

In my college Govt class there is about half of them which have no idea about states rights and think the President can make or ignore laws when they want.
The professor is way out on liberal base who always moans about Bush and the war in Iraq.
He has just told a young girl that he did not want to pay for the war , but bush made him . the young girl turned around and told him that it was a case of national defense no matter how ill advised the war was.
It seems not all the young are brainwashed yet.
Just saying.
Yeah, that would just make too much sense in a world where citizens matter just because of the importance of citizenship to a stable and prosperous country centered around individual rights. Unfortunately, we don’ t live in such a world.
Why would anyone have to "WORRY" about showing proof of citizenship documents? Our elections, especially the last two that elected that Kenyan are invalid! Obama is the "historic" first president to be elected with rampant voter fraud. IMHO.
Voting Procedures in Honduras, a Banana Republic!
Everyone in Honduras is required to vote only in the precinct as 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!
It is, without question. Illegals ARE a national security threat and these pukes are supporting it.
