US Judge
Allows Arizona to Require Proof of Citizenship
on Federal
Voter Registration Forms
As a supporter of election integrity on all fronts -
whether exposing dark money or ensuring that every citizen's vote counts, I
applaud US District Judge Eric Melgren in Topeka for ruling in favor of Arizona
and Kansas in their suit against the Federal Election Assistance
Commission.
Voting and helping set the course of our country's
future are rights that belong to all US citizens. Far too long have we watched
as illegal aliens and undocumented residents turn out at the polls to help
further a cause. I appreciate their desire to influence our government through
voting. However, until they follow the paths already in place to secure US
citizenship, they do not have the right to vote in our
elections.
This is a significant victory for state's rights as we
watch our federal government virtually slide by, doing little or nothing to
secure our border or solve the problem of illegal immigration. This ruling is an
important step in the right direction to allow states to determine whether
someone attempting to register to vote has documentation to PROVE
their US citizenship.
Thank
you.
Michele
