Supreme Court Rejects Kansas Effort to Revive Voter Registration Law

 

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Kansas that sought to revive a law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

There were no dissents. There were no comments.

This won’t effect just Kansas. Pennsylvania requires a birth certificate when one applies for Driver’s license and at the same time one has the option to register to vote. Bet that is the next to go.

If we had high hopes on the Trump Supremes leading us out of the wilderness, think again:

 

The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a request to salvage a Kansas law that required residents to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, despite pleas from Kansas lawyers and almost 20 red states.

Kansas’s red-state allies used the case to mount a broader attack on a legal test that in their view gives judges too much power in election-security disputes. Former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach (R.) championed the law and personally defended it in court against an ACLU lawsuit.

The Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act required Kansans to produce documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote. U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson struck the SAFE Act down in 2018. Robinson said it conflicted with a federal law that requires state officials to use “the minimum amount of information necessary” to determine voter eligibility. She also found the SAFE Act unconstitutional, saying the burden it placed on voters outweighed the state’s interest in protecting elections.

A coalition of 18 red states seized on Robinson’s second finding to push for a bigger change in election law. Relying on two Supreme Court cases from the 1980s and 1990s, federal courts usually compare benefits against burdens when reviewing voting rules. In a legal brief to the justices, the red states argued that approach isn’t objective and leads to inconsistent results. They urged the Court to hear the Kansas case and use it to jettison the balancing test for election laws.

Pennsylvania immense voter fraud – and we are worried about Russia?

 

Pennsylvania just went through another primary yesterday. How much the outcome reflected the opinion of “true” and legal voters remains up for grabs. If anyone is worried about non-citizens voting, check out what it takes to register. No ID necessary. No address? No problem, just pick a spot on a map on the printed form. All you need to do is tell them the last four digits of your Social Security number.  11,000 they say, I suggest digging deeper. This should curl your hair.

A new investigation has revealed that more than 11,000 non-citizens living in the state of Pennsylvania are currently registered to vote, despite not being legally eligible – illustrating once again that election fraud is rampant throughout our country.

Claiming a “glitch” in the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) registration system, officials in Pennsylvania admit that many people living in the state are voting in elections when they shouldn’t be – including in the most recent mid-terms, which appear to have been wrought with fraud and corruption in favor of Democrats.

Though it took a while to get Governor Tom Wolf, a Democrat, to actually cooperate, Representative Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican who previously chaired a House government oversight panel, was able to unearth evidence proving that illegal voters are meddling in the state’s elections.

Rep. Metcalfe led the charge to obtain the documents showing this large number of illegal voters on the rolls in Pennsylvania – which Gov. Wolf tried, but failed, to keep hidden from the public. That’s because illegal voters are the bread and butter of how Democrats win elections, these days.

“Demonstrating, much less discussing, noncitizen voting activity is the worst form of heresy one can commit for left-wing groups,” says Logan Churchwell, Director of the Public Interest Legal Foundation.

With tens of thousands of illegals discovered to be registered to vote across multiple states, we now know the 2018 mid-term elections were a FRAUD.

The situation is even worse in Texas, it turns out, where some 100,000 non-citizens are currently on the state’s voter rolls, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. After comparing state driver’s license records, which indicate immigration status, alongside voter rolls, officials found that at least 95,000 people are registered to vote who shouldn’t be – and at least 58,000 of them have voted in elections since 1996.

“This shows the urgent need for citizenship verification for voting,” warns Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, adding that these two reports out of Pennsylvania and Texas are just “the tip of the iceberg.”

“The Department of Justice should follow up with a national investigation,” he says.

District Court Judge struck down proposed law to require citizenship documentation in order to vote

California, Florida, and various other states have similarly been caught registering non-citizens to vote, which is why some are now pushing for voter registration requirements to include mandatory proof of citizenship – as, currently, no state in the Union requires such proof in order for a person to register to vote.

Obamacare sends voter registration cards to over 3 millions California applicants

A California couple contacted ABC News 10 after they received a voter registration card from Covered California marked for the Democratic Party.

 A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state’s Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an “x” in the box next to Democratic Party.

The couple – who did not want their identity revealed – received the letter and voter registration card from their health insurance provider Covered California, the state-run agency that implements President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

They have lived in La Mesa for years and they have always been registered to vote Republican. Now, they are perplexed as to how the voter registration card pre-marked Democrat ended up in their mailbox.

“I’m an old guy and I never would have noticed it, except I have an accountant that notices every dot and dash on a piece of paper as a wife,” said the man who received the mailer.

Covered California began mailing out voter signup cards to nearly 4 million enrollees last week after being threatened with a lawsuit by voting rights groups. But that does not explain the pre-filled out voter registration card.

Supreme Court Proof of Citizenship Voter Registration Law Struck Down

Maggie’s Notebook brings us this: Arizona Proof of Citizenship Voter Registration Law Struck Down at Supreme Court – Thomas, Alito Dissent. Wander over for her thoughts on the matter. (Two posts today).

Arizona’s voter registration law (Proposition 200) was struck down by the Supreme Court today with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting. The law required showing proof of citizenship at the time of registering:

In the majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia said the state law was preempted by language in the federal statute saying that states must “accept and use” a federal registration form.

Alabama, Georgia and Kansas have similar laws and joined Arizona’s case.

Look at this from Justice Sotomayor:

At an oral argument in March, Thomas Horne, a lawyer for Arizona, told the justices that the state was within its rights to ask for additional information beyond the simple federal form.

“It’s extremely inadequate,” Horne said. “It’s essentially an honor system. It does not do the job.”

“Well,” answered Justice Sonia Sotomayor, “that’s what the federal system decided was enough.” Source: USNews-NBC

Just wait until we get 30 million more “immigrants” on the non-books. Washington State does not even have polling locations. All is done by mail. What with same day registration, some states voting for over a month, no standards whatsoever, but now we must “accept and use” a federal registration form? Even Banana Republics require I.D.

USA Today Gleefully Reports on Social Workers Stacking Democrat Votes

The recession that impoverished millions of Americans is producing a side effect: new voters. Acorn to the rescue. Cannot wait until we get to see the new census numbers…oh, you say the computer software is not working?

Lawsuits by voting rights groups in Missouri and Ohio have led hundreds of thousands of people to file voter registration applications at welfare agencies, as mandated by the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, or the “motor voter” law. Cases pending in Indiana, New Mexico and other states, as well as new Justice Department guidelines, probably will boost those figures.

Isn’t this peachy? Maybe if we get every unregistered voter on welfare they can all sign up.

Last Thursday, USA Today bizarrely found a silver lining to the recession: more people walking into welfare offices means more Democrat votes in November.

You see, Americans living in poverty are more likely to support Democrats yet less likely to vote. But never fear – ACORN came along to save the day. The liberal group won a major lawsuit in the battleground state of Ohio just in time for 2010 to assure that more welfare recipients register to vote.

Of course, USA Today didn’t actually admit that it was ACORN and didn’t explain the particulars of the lawsuit, but no matter. We have Democrats to save here.
