Feds spike voter citizenship checks in Georgia

Can't hardly steal an election when the vote's honest. Look at Ohio's early voting last November. 200,000+ questionable ballots in early voting, which matches Obambi's margin of victory in that state.

The dems are still stuffing the ballot box. The republicans had 6 years to deal with that issue and did nothing.

BTW, what authority does the federal government have over how a state holds its Presidential elections?

Two comments:

1) This is a trampling of states’ rights by the central government. I would hope that states will wise up and reject that authority, reasserting the 10th Amendment. Some standoffs between State Militias and the Federal Army would make for great video for the news.

2) On the other hand, I would love to see what “approved” guidance exists from DOJ on verifying voter eligibility to vote. As far as I can see, the process approved is for DOJ to take the state to court, *allege* that a state system doesn’t work, and let a court decide. Now, apparently, they are in a position to approve something or reject something? Georgia should tell DOJ to kiss their collective asses.
