Power Play: Federal Ruling Forbids States From Checking Voters’ Citizenship

A federal commission rejected three states’ requests to ask voters for proof of citizenship, issuing a complex decision Friday that said it’s up to the national government, not the states, to decide what to include on registration forms.

Under the motor-voter law, federal officials distribute voter-registration forms in all of the states. Arizona, Kansas and Georgia all asked that those forms request proof of citizenship, but the federal Election Assistance Commission rejected that in a 46-page ruling.

The EAC said states can check driver’s license databases or ask federal immigration authorities for information, but they cannot tell the federal government what to include on federal forms.

Natural born citizens and LEGAL immigrant citizens should sue the Feds for discrimination over this decision.
According to the Federal Government, anyone in the world can vote here.
This is so wrong.
Obama and these anti Americans need to pay the price for their ultimate treason to our nation and constitution.

The Tenth Amendment leaves this decision up to the States, or the people no matter what a Federal Judge rules.

Period.
