Racist DOJ official Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced that the Biden administration is targeting Arizona for trying to prevent non-citizens from voting.
At issue is an Arizona law asking voters to show proof of citizenship. What should be an elementary and common sense requirement is being opposed by the Biden administration, officially on technical grounds, but as a practical matter because it is trying to protect voter fraud.
Why fight against asking voters to show a legal right to vote unless…
1. They are your voters
2. You believe that they don’t have a legal right to vote
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona is dedicated to protecting voters in the state,” said U.S. Attorney Gary M. Restaino for the District of Arizona. “We are proud to join the Civil Rights Division in bringing this lawsuit to ensure that all eligible citizens in Arizona have the opportunity to register to vote and exercise their fundamental right to participate in our elections.”
Voters have the right to vote. And they have the right to protect the legitimacy of their vote by passing common sense voter tests to fight fraud.

I read yesterday that they are also having the doe, medicaid and medicare, and other agencies, designate areas…even in healthcare clinics… to have people register to vote in all of the States…which the article says is against the Law.
Now this. vote fraud…the new protected category of crime. riots by bm, riots by antifa, killing by thugs targeting young White guys,..now, working hard to protect voters who shouldn’t e voting.
Also,
from “slate” a very slanted report, as one can imagine the many slurs populating the paragraphs,
“Wisconsin Supreme Court Bans Drop Boxes, Suggests Biden’s 2020 Victory Was “Illegitimate”
No doubt, when they are done targeting AZ, WI will be next. Maybe before they are done with AZ.

I will be frank, these acts are so very very sinful. It’s now 100% obvious why these Liberals were so very much against Donald Trump and still are because they know darn well that he would do everything possiible to set this corruption straight. For centuries the acts cheating, stealing, lying and doing disgusting acts with children are all considered as sins or known legallyy and publicly as felonies.

And then there’s this.
The gov is on a roll right now.

the “teacher” unions…these don’t teach what is needed…don’t want this because no parent or kid would choose their class rooms. they are still pushing those *subjects* such as crt, the trans gender fluid hogwash, and racial equity. No kid needs those wrongs to be taught in school; there’s enough of that in the “news.”
If I had kids to be taught, I’d do it at home, even earlier than I did before. I feel for the kids who really want to learn, and for the parents without much choice.

Biden Administration’s Racist DOJ Official Seeks to Protect Non-Citizen Voting in Arizona
…………………………
Just grotesque. Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote. I wouldn’t expect to be able to vote in another nation’s elections–nor would I be able to in almost all cases.
This “right” is rare anywhere in the West, and barely exists at all outside it.
somehistory says
these “non-citizens’ have mostly broken laws to get here. Criminals in prisons lose their privilege of voting and many in prison are actually citizens. Lawbreakers should not be allowed to decide who will rule over the rest of us and that includes those who have no right to even be here.

Wellington’s opinion on this would be nice to hear.

I’d like to hear his educated opinion as well, Mortimer.

Seems a game is being played here. It’s not that the Biden Administration is going so far as to assert that non-citizens have the right to vote but asking people for proof of their citizenship is somehow an example of voter suppression which Democrats love to accuse Republicans of time and time again. Of course, in reality, Democrats know full well that many non-citizens are voting and their way of protecting this fraud is to pretend that asking for ID is somehow racist, un-American, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, a game is being played. Democrats play lots of games (and RINOs play their fair share of them too—just look at the two Trump-hating RINOs on the bogus January 6th Committee, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger).
gravenimage says
Yes–it’s crazy to suggest that asking voters for ID is unfair–especially racist.
But there does appear to be some evidence that Biden is supporting non-citizens voting:
“Biden administration to sue Arizona over law requiring proof of citizenship to vote”
https://www.kawc.org/news/2022-07-04/biden-administration-to-sue-arizona-over-law-requiring-proof-of-citizenship-to-vote
Non-citizens voting is also being pushed by at least some of the MSM:
“Why noncitizens should be allowed to vote”
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/10/opinions/new-york-city-noncitizen-voting-smart-policy-reyes/index.html
And notice that in New York this goes beyond the school board and applies to *all* local elections.
I believe that this was shot down by the New York State courts; but the left is not going to stop here.

Can Noncitizens Vote in the United States?
Created by FindLaw’s team of legal writers and editors | Last updated October 16, 2020
Generally, you must be a United States citizen to vote in an election. While federal law does not expressly prohibit noncitizens to vote in state and local elections, no states allow noncitizens to vote in those elections – with a few minor exceptions that we’ll discuss later. Since the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 was passed, noncitizens have also been barred from voting in federal elections, such as presidential elections.
Naturalized Citizens Can Vote
That said, there is a way for noncitizens to gain the right to vote: Naturalized U.S. citizens – people from other countries who have established residency in the United States and have applied for permanent citizenship – can vote once they become citizens.
Still, becoming naturalized is not guaranteed, and it can take a long time to happen. You must become a legal resident in the United States and live here for five years before you can apply for citizenship.
In the majority of cases, noncitizens holding permanent resident status verification (also called a green card) cannot vote in federal elections. Legal permanent residents are allowed to vote in specific local elections in a handful of states and cities, including San Francisco and Chicago (local public school council elections). Undocumented immigrants cannot vote anywhere in the United States.
Voter Fraud Concerns
Much of the determination to keep noncitizens from voting arise from fears of voter fraud, in which ineligible residents vote. In 2011, the Florida Department of State identified hundreds of noncitizens who had been registered to vote, some of whom had been allowed to vote in past elections.
Punishment for violating that law range from a fine to deportation to prison time. The state of Texas prosecuted 33 people in 2018 for illegally casting ballots, and that same year, officials in North Carolina charged 19 foreign nationals for similar infractions – even though nine of them were legal permanent residents.
In California, a law passed in 2016 did away with legal punishment for noncitizens who are inadvertently registered to vote by DMV staff, as when a clerk fails to properly verify the voter’s registration.
Noncitizen Voting in Local Elections
Some cities and states make concessions for noncitizens who wish to vote. In 2017, San Francisco passed Proposition N, which gave noncitizen residents of the city the right to vote in school board elections if the voter was the parent or legal guardian/caregiver of a child in the city’s school system.
Right now, 11 local governments let noncitizens vote in local elections. Ten of those governments are in Maryland, in the municipalities of Takoma Park, Barnesville, Martin’s Additions, Somerset, Chevy Chase Sections 3 and 5, Glen Echo, Garrett Park, Hyattsville, Mount Rainer, and Riverdale Park.
Eight other states have tried in recent years to enact legislation that would relax the rules regarding noncitizen voters, but with little luck. All have been either voted down, stalled in one legislative chamber or another, or is still pending. Since 2003, the state of New York has tried unsuccessfully four times to change laws restricting noncitizen voters.

Mortimer, there has been a big push to allow non-citizens and even illegal immigrants to vote in local elections like the school board. Here’s some stupidity rom my neck of the woods:
“Noncitizen parents can vote in San Francisco school board recall.”
https://edsource.org/2022/non-citizen-parents-can-vote-in-san-francisco-school-board-recall-but-will-they/666796
“Oakland could be next to grant voting rights to noncitizens”
More than 10,000 residents in Oakland who are parents or caregivers but not citizens could be allowed to vote for OUSD school board members.
https://oaklandside.org/2022/06/22/oakland-noncitizen-voting-elections-school-board-2022/
Their being allowed to vote for school boards is obviously just the thin edge of the wedge.
Andrew Blackadder says
So let me understand this correctly… A person enters the USA illegally, then lives within the borders of the USA illegally and is now allowed to Vote….. Legally ?????….. How does that make any sense whatsoever?.
As Mrs Clinton once said… ” Hes an illegitimate President, he knows hes an illegitimate President, we know he is illegitimate, everybody knows it…. She was talking about Old Joe…. wasnt she ?.
UNCLEJUNIORSOPRANO says
You must have an ID to check out books from the library, to purchase alcohol, tobacco, etc. You DO need an ID to open a bank account, to apply for a job, to pick up a prescription, to drive a car, to travel, to stay in a motel, to purchase cold medicine or paint, etc. BUT thanks to democRATs, YOU DON’T NEED AN ID TO VOTE!!!
gravenimage says
All true.
somehistory says
they say the “poor’ are disenfranchised by asking for an id…but it’s necessary to prove who one is to get food assistance, the snap program requires it; to get wic help, to get any kind of welfare, to get social security disability, no matter the age.
to attend school….the list is just about endless and applies to the poor, rich and infamous.
