Court Strikes Down Ariz. Law Requiring Voters to Prove They Are Citizens

Published October 26, 2010
Associated Press
PHOENIX -- A federal appeals court has struck down a key part of Arizona's law requiring voters to prove they are citizens before registering to vote or casting ballots.

Tuesday's decision by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law requiring voters to prove their citizenship while registering is inconsistent with the National Voter Registration Act. That federal law allows voters to fill out a mail-in card and swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury, but doesn't require them to show proof as Arizona's law does.

Appeals Court Judge Sandra S. Ikuta's opinion was joined by retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who heard the case as a temporary appeals court judge. The 9th Circuit's chief judge, Alex Kozinski, dissented.

I would think the ninth court's ruling is inconsistent with the Constitution.

Gee Steve? Ya think?

Alabama passed a law requiring voter ID a few years back and it's still in the court system somewhere....................

The opponents were/are saying that it's discriminatory to require someone to have and ID, period. :roll:

What's funny is all the dead Democrats that vote down here aren't showing THEIR ID's.
