Phoenix - Gov. Janet Napolitano on Thursday used an appearance before a largely Hispanic audience to veto a bill to require Arizona voters to show identification to cast regular ballots at polling places.

Republican supporters of the bill said it would prevent voter fraud, but Napolitano told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that it would deter voter participation.

Butch, the truck-driving governess, strikes again. How predictable.

A "Butch Loves Illegal Alien Votes" PING!

unbelieveable.

[gaspar]

The Democrat fascist mindset at work! You will find an honest Democrat the day Christ returns to earth.

The RATS depend on confused, marginal and phony voters. This Napolitano flipping sucks. There is no honor left in the 'cRAT party. Only a gnawing hunger for power. These jackasses are always failures in the private sector so they crave public sector power. Will do whatever it takes to seize it.

Yep, "seize" just like the commies of old in Russia and elsewhere.

There is only one reason for this: To promote voter fraud.

No you won't ~ not even then.

Didn't He once say something like "It's gonna' be harder for a bush to find the WMD than for a Democrat to be honest."

"In Arizona, we want people to vote," said Napolitano.

... and it helps if they are illegal voters, she may as well have added.

In fact, most illegals vote solidly for Democrats. They give them the most "free" things.

Arizonians have sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind - along with the rest of us deluded saps who still consider ourselves honest citizens!

Perhaps the matricula card would be just the ticket she would like to see for ID.

[The Old Hoosier]

Who cares? It doesn't matter who we vote for any more. The Supreme Court makes our laws for us.

[A CA Guy]

They have to identify voters. How can not doing this be legal?

[adam_az]

Is this an AZ Politics ping list? If so, please add me.

[Bill Davis FR]

SURELY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS PROVIDE VOTER ID CARDS TO REGISTERED VOTERS

[adam_az]

I can't vote because I was caught with some marijuana as a stupid kid, but illegal aliens can vote.

Something is wrong here.

[Arkinsaw]

The legal citizens of Arizona better get a handle on this before they are a minority at the voting booth and the illegals make the legals illegal.

They better do it soon.

[grapeape]

Even though voter fraud and crass-corruption is rampid in America and mainly the cRats fault. I am a big baby and I'm going to site out the next election. I do not want to vote for Bush or Republican because of... oh... um.... I can't remember.. so WHHHHAAAAAAA WWWHAAAAA. I didn't get my way earlier on something or other.

but Napolitano told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that it would deter voter participation.

Right, sister. That's why banks, video stores, liquor stores, and any establishment that requires ID when you use your credit card are soooooooo hurting for business cuz all that ID checking 'deters participation'.

Napolitano told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that it would deter voter participation.

Does showing an ID when you use a credit card deter using a credit card? NO, it deters criminal acts!

Does showing an ID to get a library card deter use of libraries? NO, it deters criminal acts! Does showing an ID when you board an airplane deter flying? NO, it deters criminal acts!

Get the message???? That's why we want ID's shown when you vote!

"In Arizona, we want people to vote," said Napolitano.

And vote often.

[TheEngineer]

Why not go ahead and try to vote next time, without ID, at a heavily-democatic precinct? ;-)
