Supreme Court: Arizona law requiring citizenship proof for voters is illegal | Fox News

The court was considering the legality of Arizona's requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "motor voter" registration law. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which doesn't require such documentation, trumps Arizona's Proposition 200 passed in 2004.
Arizona appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
"Today's decision sends a strong message that states cannot block their citizens from registering to vote by superimposing burdensome paperwork requirements on top of federal law," said Nina Perales, vice president of litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and lead counsel for the voters who challenged Proposition 200.

If every state has moved to the program florida has to renew a dl then the problem will work itself out just by asking to see id before voting. Just to renwe to the new dl you need birth certificate and 2 proofs of residence. Im sure green card or paper work is the substitute for a birth certificate being from somewhere else.

Back to Defending Obama I see. Why are you not up in arms over this outrageous abuse of power?

They're not using their heads. Buy your own machines and print your own forms. Now you have a state run program and the fed has no say in it.

Naw that wouldn't prevent it either....

The federal "motor voter" law, enacted in 1993 to expand voter registration, requires states to offer voter registration when a resident applies for a driver's license or certain benefits. Another provision of that law -- the one at issue before the court -- requires states to allow would-be voters to fill out mail-in registration cards and swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury, but it doesn't require them to show proof. Under Proposition 200, Arizona officials require an Arizona driver's license issued after 1996, a U.S. birth certificate, a passport or other similar document, or the state will reject the federal registration application form.

"The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot on their own require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier."

True, BUT the Federal system would still be available to be used, thus circumventing it completely would be a snap. Just don't use the state system.
