Arizona Law, Requiring Foreign-Born Citizens to Show Naturalization Papers Before Registering to Vote, Seems in Jeopardy

On October 20, the 9th circuit heard oral arguments in Gonzalez v State of Arizona, 08-17094, over Arizona’s law that does not permit foreign-born U.S. citizens to register to vote until they show their Naturalization Certificate to elections officials. The 3-judge panel included former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. See this story. According to the story, O’Connor said a previous 9th circuit opinion, denying injunctive relief against the law, “was clearly wrong.” The earlier 9th circuit opinion, dated April 20, 2007, and found at 485 F.3d 1041, had been influenced by a U.S. Supreme Court order that also denied injunctive relief against that Arizona law.

This case is complicated because there is a federal law on voter registration, and it has never been clear to what extent states can add additional requirements.

  1. Allegedly the States are NOT quite yet DEAD.

    The Electors in U.S.A. elections for U.S.A. Reps and U.S.A. Senators are defined by STATE constitutions and laws.

    Art. I, Sec. 2. para. 1 —

    The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

    17th Amdt, para. 1

    The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

    Registration of Electors-Voters (to show some LEGAL evidence that they qualify to be Electors-Voters) has been around since when ???

    Are there some sort of MORON messed up U.S.A. versus State registration laws ???

    Which of these MORON cases will set things off ???
    1775 or 1861 style ???

    Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the U.S.A.

    P.R. and nonpartisan A.V.

    ZERO power for the EVIL leftwing / rightwing party hacks to rig election laws.

  2. I know some illegal aliens and I know them well enough to know they would never, ever try to register to vote. They live their lives to avoid entanglement with the government. Registering to vote when one is an illegal alien is a felony, a ridiculous thing to do just for the sake of casting one vote in a sea of millions.

  3. See U.S. Code, Titles 8 and 18 for the many, many, many crimes related to being an ILLEGAL alien in the U.S.A.

    In other regimes captured ILLEGAL aliens get killed or thrown in jail as being spies / invaders with no questions asked — see the recent North Korea 2 females and the Iran border lost morons.
