Opponents of Arizona's new immigration law - stymied in their initial court challenges - are taking aim at the law's election mandates, claiming they'll virtually eliminate voter registration drives and place too many obstacles in front of minority voters.Per usual, activist Democrats are trying to get through the judiciary what they can't get in a, you know, fair election. I'm just saying...
A civil rights group and Democratic legislators have separately asked the Justice Department to block the law, which was designed to deny some public benefits to illegal immigrants. Voters approved the measure Nov. 2.
...
The move comes after the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and other opponents unsuccessfully challenged nonelection provisions of the new law.
The election provisions include requiring a person to produce a copy of a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship when registering to vote or when reregistering in another county. Also, a voter would have to show identification before voting at a polling place.
What's wrong with asking for proof of citizenship and residency in order to cast a vote? Near as I can tell, that would ensure a fair election, not prevent one. The real deal here is that Democrats think that if they fight for these votes, they will gain a constituency...and they deseperately need one because the one they have now is shrinking.....
