OBAMA'S JUSTICE DEPT WILL ALLOW NON-CITIZENS TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN GEORGIA

Any shot for Americans to take back this country from the hard left in 2010/2012 is looking increasingly dim ....

Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia (hat tip Clyde)

Decision Bars Georgia From Continuing Voter Verification Process

Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel issued the following statement following the U.S. Department of Justice’s denial of preclearance of Georgia’s voter verification process

Atlanta - “The decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to deny preclearance of Georgia’s already implemented citizenship verification process shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections. With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft. DOJ’s decision also nullifies the orders of two federal courts directing Georgia to implement the procedure for the 2008 general election. The decision comes seven months after Georgia requested an expedited review of the preclearance submission.

“DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists. DOJ completely disregarded Georgia’s obvious and direct interest in preventing non-citizens from voting, instead siding with the ACLU and MALDEF. Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy.

“This process is critical to protecting the integrity of our elections. We have evidence that non-citizens have voted in past Georgia elections and that more than 2,100 individuals have attempted to register, yet still have questions regarding their citizenship. Further, the Inspector General’s office is investigating more than 30 cases of non-citizens casting ballots in Georgia elections, including the case of a Henry County non-citizen who registered to vote and cast ballots in 2004 and 2006.

“It is important to underscore that not a single person has come forward to say he or she could not vote because of the verification process. Further, while DOJ argues that the process is somehow discriminatory, the historic voter turnout among Hispanic and African-American voters in the 2008 general elections clearly says otherwise.

Should we be shocked by President Obama Zeromeinfuhrer's antics?

That would be the end of America, right then and there.

Really, then it would be time for a real revolution.
Yes, I wrote that.

The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama. The
stamp was not sticking to envelopes.

This enraged the President, demanded a full investigation.

After a month of testing, a special Presidential commission presented the
following findings:

-The stamp is in perfect order,

-There is nothing wrong with the adhesive,

-People are spitting on the wrong side.

Voting rules should definitely come under the Tenth Amendment and is none of the Federal Government’s business.

You might think that and I might agree, but 90% of Murcans are fat dumb and happy with the way things are right now.

This Voting Rights Act crap that’s been imposed on the South is bull shit and needs to be challenged. GA should tell Holder to go to hell and proceed with their original plan.

The ballot box is now invalid. Illegal votes are counted and my vote, as a soldier, is likely to be thrown out.

The sovereign state of Geogia should tell the DOJ to go to hell. The voting is in Georgia for Goergia’s respesentatives, or Geogia’s specific vote in the national presidential race.

I too am outraged. This is true “disenfranchisement”

I posted this yesterday on this subject:

“Well, what’s the point of elections then?

If ACORN can march any “world citizen” into a voting booth to select our leaders, then we have no nation.”

I hope it is already being appealed by state officials, but in reality they shouldn't have to.

Georgia should stand up and say that it will not comply with the orders from the DOJ or the Federal Government.
