Judge Julia A. Robinson said the Kansas legislation violated federal law and the 14th Amendment guarantee to equal protection.

Uhmmm....how would test their citizenship without a BC.

I renewed my driver's license last year on my birthday, but couldn't apply for a Star card until this year. A Star card requires a birth certificate, passport, proof of residency (a utility bill under 60 days old), a NON-LAMINATED social security card...damn, I laminated mine on receipt in 1973, so it doesn't count. The point is that I have to prove citizenship and residency for a Star card that will be required to board aircraft next year...or always bring my current passport. Idaho requires presentation of a state issued driver's license or identification card to vote. It must be a picture ID. It is scanned, a sticker is generated and pasted on the voting log. You sign it and get your ballot. Attempts to vote a second time with that ID would be picked up immediately.

The Constitution does not confer rights. The rights are pre-existing. Thus, it is not a Constitutional right to vote. The government is established by the Constitution, which specifically restricts it to enumerated powers. Government is further particularly restricted by the "Bill of Rights" to "Prevent misconstruction or abuse of it's powers" - see the preamble.

I'm not sure if this is what freedomjusticeruleoflaw means by "there is no constitutional right to vote". The 19th amendment restricts "the United States or any state" and empowers Congess to enforce this through legislation. Did you just mean this as a prompt to examine the meaning of "United States"?

The framers didn’t put a ‘right to vote’ under the bill of rights because they were forming a constitutional republic not a democracy. Just look at what’s happened to our liberties as the voting franchise keeps expanding. That’s right...

Judge Robinson should come to Florida. We had to provide our birth certificate for driver license.

She is just another affirmative action hire.

The fact that you have 3 separate amendments prohibiting discrimination on race, sex and age for the voting process implies there is no explicit right to vote. Just because it is referenced in the various amendments doesn’t mean anything. There is no declaration of a ‘right to vote’. That this ‘right to vote’ shall not be infringed.

OK, then how can you be 'denied the right to vote' if you are a felon, if you had 'no right to vote' to begin with? You make no sense.

Same here. After a lifetime as a FL driver, I recently had to present a raised seal birth certificate for license renewal.

<>Judge Julia A. Robinson said the Kansas legislation violated . . . the 14th Amendment guarantee to equal protection.<>

I can guarantee that had The Beast been elected in 2016, her two scotus appointees would have found a 14A right for everyone in the US to vote. Adios to our republic.

They also viewed voting as a political, not civil right. Its breadth was determined by the political process and not through the fantasies of social justice warrior judges.

You both must know the answer to this. They’ll have zero interest in validating the integrity of voting. All you’ll hear is that there’s almost no fraud while obstructing any effort to prove it is the case....because...fraud.

Voter drives - register people who don’t vote, get their names, address, and signature. They’ll most likely not vote, so the dems can just mail it in. Even if they do go and vote they just get told they’ve already voted - how many will do anything about it???

Obama has pushed “yes to Proposal 2” in Michigan. I wasn’t sure about it but when I saw his position it, of course, made up my mind - instantly - to be “no”. It’s about gerrymandering and the attempt to “put the power into the hands of the people and out of the hands of politicians”. Yeah, a state that has been blue for a long time, the second it goes red, all of a sudden, they want to lock in the district lines. This “solution”, if passed, would FOREVER remove my influence and lock it into the Michigan Constitution.

They’re masters of gaming the system, making sure that they can claim ignorance while maintaining that anything that improves transparency will “disenfranchise minorities”. The thing is, they have to up the ante now - too many have left the party.

A win for the requirement to provide birth certification could be a loss.

The win will spark the development of a fake birth certificate industry.

The fake must be accepted as real by the county registrars thus allowing mass illegal voters. The registrars have no way of separating the wheat from the illegal chaff

No, you make no sense. Because the states can make whatever limitations they want on the vote save the constitutional restrictions in the 3 amendments mentioned above.

Yes. Not as a natural right.
