Yet here in WI a Dane County judge can hold ours up in court in an effort to cheat Walker out of victory...

Mexico Requires Voter ID`s Ha Ha Ha!!!

``Mexico’s national voter IDs part of culture``

Boosts country’s democracy

Mexican officials unveiled the voting ID two decades ago to properly identify electors in a country with a history of voters casting multiple ballots and curious vote counts resulting in charges of fraud — most notoriously in 1988 when a computer crash wiped out early results favoring the opposition.

The credential proved so good at guaranteeing the identification of electors that it became the country’s preferred credential, one now possessed by just about every adult Mexican. Its widespread acceptance deepened democracy, too, by giving credibility to the Federal Electoral Institute, analysts say. The agency was created as an independent agency to oversee federal elections.

“It’s a very important prop for support of that institution,” said Federico Estévez, political science professor at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico. “What people really know about (the electoral institute) is the card.”

The card must be renewed every 10 years. This meant thousands of Mexicans whose cards were expiring had to apply for a new one prior to Jan. 15 if they wanted to vote in the July 1 presidential election, prompting long lines outside agency service centers.

People in the lines were clutching folders of documents needed for renewal: a birth certificate, another form of photo identification and a recent utility bill.``

Well this is going to throw a monkey wrench into the Obama campaign's recent voter drives in AZ. I hope he wasted a lot of campaign cash on that venture.

Arizona can demand to see certain forms of identification that proves citizenship, the court ruled.

Not a big surprise in itself. Just the Ninth Circus doing it's bit to hasten the day when everyone can be required to "produce their papers."

Here's the loophole. Expect AZ to see a ton of this stuff.

" However, the court also ruled that Arizona must not refuse federal voter registration forms, which work on the honor system by asking applicants to check a box indicating whether they're U.S. citizens."

I completely agree. But it is a little bit of a Catch-22. And besides, the 9th doesn't tend to make it's judgements with an eye to freedom for the individual (except in sexual issues).

I saw that but I also expect the good citizens of AZ will be working the polls and verifying the voters. This is a good thing; let the dems waste their cash signing up the illegals and dead and then watch the illegals not show up to vote in November because they don't want to get in trouble.

The most overturned Appeals Court eschewed the chance to be spanked again by the US Supreme Court.

Let’s hope this goes to the SCOTUS, AGAIN. SCOTUS already ruled in April 2008 but 0bama/Holder don’t honor SCOTUS rulings as we’re soon to find out with 0bamacare being implemented ANYWAY.

Funny, here in Texas I went to vote in 08 and they asked me for my ID as well as my voter registration card. I had my ID and they could check the rolls to make sure I was at the correct precinct but I still had to show my ID to prove I was who I said I was. If I didn’t have my ID and just the registration, they would not have allowed me to vote.
