Court rules nearly 98,000 Arizonans whose citizenship hadn't been confirmed can vote the full ballot

You can’t trust AZ voters like you could three or so decades ago.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

If they can’t prove citizenship they shouldn’t be able to vote, in federal elections either. Fixed it!

Too
Many Californicators?

They most likely aren’t Arizonans..moreover they are illegal alien invadres. Pox upon them.

GOP needs to step it up and take it higher ASAP

I believe hubby and I are in that group. We moved to AZ in March 1996 from California and immediately got new AZ driver’s licenses. We registered to vote at the same time and only checked a box swearing we were American citizens. I think there are tens of thousands of Arizonans like us who are NBCs and are legally able to vote.

When the law passed in 2004 that said we needed to prove citizenship to vote, I took my birth certificate to the polls when I voted in 2004, but the poll worker said that wasn’t necessary because I was legally registered to vote according to their records. I put it out of my mind until yesterday when this story surfaced. I have to renew my license by the end of the month and I plan on taking my documents at that time to prove my eligibility for future elections.

Say hello to Skamala for me, m’kay?

[Prince of Space]

I’m a legal voter and NBC. We moved to AZ in 1996 and got new AZ licenses and registered to vote here. Nobody asked for our documents then or now. Your proposal is dumb and uninformed. You should know that Richer isn’t MAGA so if he’s behind an idea or lawsuit, it’s not gonna favor Trump voters.

[Prince of Space]

Me and my husband. Been in AZ since March 1996 and voted in every election with no problems and no request for documents.

“...the 98,000 were already eligible to vote in federal elections...”

Yep. What a goofy rule! “Sure you can vote for President, just not the dog catcher.”

[21twelve]

Robert Gouveia was saying most of the voters on the list were republicans. (He lives in Arizona).

The term “citizenship” implies USA citizens. But I wonder if for this rule they mean residents of Arizona? Allowing snowbirds from Idaho for example to vote in Federal elections but not local? But that wouldn’t make sense because then they might have voted in Idaho as well.

My interest in the 100,000 voters in Arizona was more about the election then the rule, but I know where you’re coming from. It doesn’t make sense. -Hopefully people from our side are keeping on top of it.
