Proof of citizenship not required to vote

Post by VMI77 »

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/artic ... -u-s-court
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider letting states require evidence of citizenship when people register to vote for federal elections, rejecting an appeal from Arizona and Kansas.

The rebuff is a victory for the Obama administration and voting- and minority-rights groups that battled the two states in court. It leaves intact a decision by a U.S. agency that blocked the states from requiring proof of citizenship for voters in federal elections.
And the descent into the abyss accelerates.

Bloomberg was a day late and a dollar short. I posted the same story, but from another website, a day and a half ago: viewtopic.php?p=996770#p996770" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ooops, missed it. I've had concerns for a long time but this year is the first time in my life that I am beginning to feel palpable fear of the future, especially for my children. It seems like things are starting to unravel.

In Texas you do need to proof citizenship. When applied for a vote registration card your DPS file tells if you are eligible or not.
