If these folks haven't bothered to register before and educate
themselves on the issues, why should they be voting?
As a BTW, the citizens of Arizona have the right to initiate law via
the ballot. (There are a couple of propositions on the ballot to take
away this right, politicians not wanting any meddling by the common
folk, doncha ya know.)
One of these initiative propositions would require a simple proof of
citizenship when you register and when you show up at the polls. The
usual suspects, i.e., the newspapers, the Hispanic "activists", my
gerrymandered-into-office Hispanic congressman, etc. are needless to
say suffering from severe panty bunching over this.
They claim that there has never been any instance of non-citizens, or
those ineligible, registering or voting.
The evening news just reported that 45 residents of the county
lock-up, felons all, were just registered to vote. Some of them
several times.
I guess that's good, huh?
What we need around here (California) is a law that says
you have to prove you're alive when you vote. Dead people
always seem to find their way to the polling booth on
election day in Northern California.
