Supreme Court Sides Against Voting System's Integrity

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Supreme Court: A 7-2 high court majority blocks states from displacing the status quo that makes voter fraud easier than credit card fraud. Federal law is helping noncitizens unconstitutionally vote liberals into power.

Unfettered immigration for decades now has been the left's not-so-secret weapon for getting millions of more votes, an obvious recipe for the political transformation of America. The Supreme Court on Monday effectively told the states that the best they can expect are whatever crumbs they beg from the federal government.

Arizona's Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, passed into law by referendum in 2004, enacted reasonable requirements that proof of citizenship be presented by those registering to vote, and that voters produce a photo ID at the polls.

The law was ruled as conflicting with the 1993 federal Motor Voter law by the notoriously left-leaning 9th Circuit, with which the Supreme Court has now sided. But in Justice Antonin Scalia's ruling, joined by all the court's liberals, he says Arizona may ask the federal government for regulatory versions of some of the law's provisions and "seek judicial review" if denied such requests.

Cruz to introduce voter ID amendment to counteract Supreme Court ruling

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday said he would offer an amendment to the Senate immigration bill to counteract a Supreme Court decision striking down state laws requiring voters to prove their citizenship.

 

Cruz's amendment, which he plans to attach to the bipartisan Gang of Eight bill being debated this week in the Senate, would allow states to require IDs before voters register under the federal "Motor Vehicle" voter registration law.
