Justices: Arizona voter registration rules go too far
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/06/17/supreme-court-arizona-voting-citizenship-states-congress-registration/2166965/
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ruled handily Monday that Arizona
cannot add to federal voter registration requirements by demanding
proof of citizenship.
The ruling, which could impact other states as well, is at least a
temporary victory for liberals who want to expand access to the polls
and a defeat for conservatives concerned about potential election
fraud.
In a 7-2 decision written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court said
Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement -- passed by voters in 2004
-- went too far beyond the 1993 federal "motor voter" law that was
designed to simplify voter registration procedures.
The federal law requires registrants to claim U.S. citizenship on a
mail-in post card, under penalty of perjury. The Arizona law requires
separate physical proof of citizenship. The justices' decision upholds
congressional authority over federal elections and could make it
harder for states to impose additional restrictions.
However, Scalia said Arizona could try a different approach to
challenge the federal law's pre-emption, thereby holding out the
possibility that the state could resurrect its proof-of-citizenship
requirement.
*******************************
They could increase the jail time for any caught committing perjury.
Liberal are desperate when they need illegal Aliens to vote. They
don't have that right.

again do you think non US citizens should be allowed to vote?
Face it you can spy on every American in the country but can't ask for
proof of citizenship to vote.
I had to show several types of ID to get a drivers licence.

What I did see is they opened the way for them to try this again in a
less extreme way. Then again with the Tea Party types they have it
isn't likely. The Govenor had to fight with them to get them to
except free help with medicaid.
Tell me who challenged the law?

Still, based on federal voting law perogative, it calls all the rest into
question.

Ask the Nuns! They weren't speaking out in December 2013 when a crazy

now that "The Pill" and condoms are on the line with the Obamacare
thing.
That's my America!
It's great that the USA keeps things in perspective.
