For a long time I have argued that it is common sense to prove your American citizenship to vote … and here I mean to vote in any election, perhaps with the exception of class president.
Those of you who have read my opines regularly know what kind of I.D. is necessary to cast a vote in Mexico – a picture I.D. with a fingerprint. Here I am not just guessing or assuming as I have seen and examined such a Mexican voting I.D. In addition I was told that there is a serious penalty for an individual if he/she attempts to vote with a fraudulent or tampered with voting I.D.
From Townhall:
“Arizona Federal Judge Rules Voters Must Prove Their U.S. Citizenship Status In Order to Vote In Elections”
The background –
“In March 2022, a group of plaintiffs led by the Hispanic voting rights organization “Mi Familia Vota” filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, claiming that the state’s law was unconstitutional.
The Biden Administration filed a separate complaint that was consolidated in the case.”
Of course, the Biden administration felt it necessary to chime in. After all before long the law will probably require that even a dead person will not be allowed to vote!
Arizona Judge Susan Bolton concluded:
“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 outweigh the limited burden voters might encounter when required to provide (documentary proof of citizenship).”
FYI: No ,Judge Bolton was not appointed by President Trump. In fact she was was nominated by President Bill Clinton to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Arizona , and was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 3, 2000.
