Federal judge rules on new Arizona voting laws requiring proof of citizenship

A federal judge is upholding new Arizona laws that would require registered voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order for their votes to be counted.


Arizona legislators faced accusations of discrimination when they adopted the laws requiring counties to verify the status of registered voters but, in a ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that such requirements were not discriminatory.

Bolton said the state has an interest in preventing voter fraud and limiting voting to those individuals eligible to vote.

"Considering the evidence as a whole, the court concludes that Arizona’s interests in preventing non-citizens from voting and promoting public confidence in Arizona’s elections outweighs the limited burden voters might encounter when required to provide (documentary proof of citizenship)," the judge wrote.
In the ruling, Bolton clarified one requirement within the laws — asking individuals to include their state or country of birth on a state registration form — would violate the Civil Rights Act and a section of the National Voter Registration Act.

I don't think Trumpys vote. If they did, they would know that when you registered your ID was presented and your info was collected. Then the voter commission checked the registration and assigned you to a precinct to vote in. Your name is put in the precinct log book.
To vote in national elections, you have to be a citizen. https://apnews.com/article/2022-mid...ing-question-d720a6d02e066700d86812dc717906e5

The issue, of course, is that there is no free national citizenship ID. Requiring someone to purchase a passport to vote is a clear violation of the 15th amendment. A drivers license establishes citizenship in the jurisdiction in which you are voting. Arizona cannot require any other ID. It's just more stupidity addressing a non-existent problem.

Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution explains that the States have the primary authority over election administration, the "times, places, and manner of holding elections".

Voter ID requirements
Each state sets its own voter ID rules.

Your state may require you to show a photo ID like a driver's license, state ID, or passport.

He is a fucking idiot regardless of what he thinks about the 15th amendment. You can bet if voter ID was unconstitutional it would have been struck down by the SC LONG ago.

courts have struck it down in the past - but not because of the amendment cited - but because of the voting rights act passed in the 60's

Obviously unconstitutional per the 15th amendment.

AMENDMENT XV - Passed by Congress February 26, 1869. Ratified February 3, 1870.

Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude--

Section 2.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Testing for citizenship is not a test for race, Sock. The Supreme Court ruling is in conformance with the Constitution.

Unless, of course, you fill out fraudulent ballots and count them, like the Democrats did in 2020 and 2022.

No one is requiring purchasing a passport, Sock.

Accepted Proof of Citizenship Information

If you have an Arizona drivers license or non-operating identification card issued after October 1, 1996, you will only need to list the license number on box 9 of the voter registration form.

If you do not have an Arizona license you may need to provide one of the following documents to establish proof of citizenship:

Supporting legal documentation (i.e. marriage certificate) if the name on the birth certificate is not the same as your current legal name
A legible photocopy of the pertinent pages of your passport
U.S. naturalization documents or fill in your Alien Registration Number in box 11 on the voter registration form
Your Indian Census Number, Bureau of Indian Affairs Card Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number, or fill in your Tribal Enrollment Number in box 10 on the voter registration form
A legible photocopy of your Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood or Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth

You're liar, Sock.

But states cannot require people to prove their citizenship before they register. As a result, many non-citizens are registered voters. This is a problem because when called for jury duty and told citizenship is a requirement to serve on a jury, declare that they are not citizens (federal court study) and cannot serve.

Yep the Federal court here picks from the driver license rolls. If they do the same thing in California illegals can have driver's licenses.
