Just in time... /s

Meanwhile, 3,000 voter registrations and early ballot requests (submitted on the deadline day) by a Democrat organization in Southern Arizona have been found to be at least 60% (and counting) fraudulent.

National Voter Registration Act = Motor Voter.

Alaska, Vermont, and Virginia are exempted.

Illinois like many states thanks to Clinton many years ago allows illegal aliens to vote. All they need is a drivers license as proof.

Can illegal immigrants register to vote?

by Fran Eaton
Monday, August 14, 2006

“How does this work? In order to register to vote, the Motor Voter Registration form simply asks the applicant to sign, stating he or she is a citizen of the U.S., 18 years old, a resident of the precinct for the last 30 days and not a felon. On one county form, the Social Security number (or last four digits) is requested. On another county’s form, a driver’s license number is requested.

I asked a DuPage County elections official how they would check whether a person registering to vote was a citizen of the U.S. She said that they have no choice but to accept the word of the person who registered. If there was any suspicion that the voter was not a citizen of the U.S., an election judge at the polling place could file an objection when he or she comes in to vote.

I asked if there was anything in the new federal Voting Rights Act that would intimidate election judges from objecting to a person’s voting qualifications, and she said she couldn’t answer that question.”

Here is a link to the opinion: http://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/index.cfm?fa=opinions.showOpinion&filename=395479MAJ

This opinion is even worse than is being reported. The 9th Circuit had previously upheld this law. As Kosinski makes abundantly clear in his extremely lucid dissent, the two judge majority chooses to ignore binding(not persuasive) precedent in reaching their decision. The majority decision is thus the very epitome of judicial lawlessness.

This opinion will likely be reviewed and reversed en banc. And if not, it seems likely to be added to the long list of cases which the Supreme Court has reviewed and reversed.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.

Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

[Tzimisce]

Well the left needs the non-citizen vote in 2010 cause they’re facing a total collapse!

[South40]

And the fraud begins continues.

[rockinqsranch]

A six year old voter initiative apparently, and it’s just now, just prior to the most important election in our history decided upon.

This is bullshit. This is collusion. This is another action to put on the list of cleanup, and cleanout this government.

It’s Roto-Rooter time. We the people with snake in hand, and get with the program.

[DBeers]

...the majority opinion was that the National Voter Registration Act precludes states from imposing additional requirements.

Hogwash!

The "National Voter Registration Act" is unconstitutional!

It is the States that decide the "how" -the mechanics, methods, and requirements of how elections are handled!!!!

[AmericanExceptionalist]

No big surprise here: Whenever the will of a majority of the voters does not dovetail nicely with Liberal Orthodoxy, well, then it is time to take to the courts.

A handful of black-robed individuals, after all, can usually be relied upon to trump (or, more precisely, to circumvent) the will of the majority; the latter being increasingly held in the lowest possible esteem by the Advanced Thinkers of the political left...

[Chgogal]

Just wondering when we will send over 1.6 Billion ballots to the Chinese so they can vote in our elections (since NO PROOF of citizenship is required just the threat of perjury a la Clinton). WTF 9th Circuit?

[TheThinker]

This is a violation of the 10th Amendment and a direct usurpation of Americans’ voting rights.

[kindred]

The 9th circus court of communist unjust judges strike at the heart of American Constitutional laws once again.
These black robed terroists need to be tarred, feathered, and run out of America on a rail.

[Envisioning]

1. Soap box. - Check.

2. Ballot box. - Check.

3. Jury box. - Check.

4. Does she really want to go here?

[Taggart_D]

This is outrageous.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

the libs are more concerned about foreign money influence in our elections than foreign voters. (stolen from foxnews Brian Kilmeade)

[ScottinVA]

It’s going to take a generation to flush these enemy turds out of the judiciary. They are truly killing our country.

[deport]

Chief Judge KOZINSKI desented in the opinion which can be read beginning at page 17684 of the opinion.

His final paragraph is as follows:

The majority distorts two major areas of law before it even reaches the merits. It creates an unprecedented exception to our law of the circuit rule, trampling underfoot a newly minted en banc opinion. The majority also makes a mess of the law of the case analysis by taking issue with a prior panel’s reasoning, not its conclusion. And, as to the merits, the panel comes nowhere close to proving that Gonzalez I’s interpretation of the National Voter Registration Act was wrong, much less clearly wrong. Few panels are able to upset quite so many apple carts all at once. Count me out.
