This election is going to hell.
From the Detroit Free Press: A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction that prevents
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson’s office from requiring citizenship
checkboxes on voter ballot applications for the November presidential
election.
“It is really a burden on the right to vote in terms
of slowing things down, in terms of confusion,” U.S. District Court
Judge Paul D. Borman said Friday in a preliminary ruling from the bench.
Borman is expected to issue a written opinion by the end of Tuesday.
A voting rights coalition that filed a lawsuit against Johnson challenging the use of the checkboxes asked for the injunction.
Johnson’s
office has said the state’s voter rolls have as many as 4,000
registered voters who are not U.S. citizens and that she wants to ensure
non-citizens get one last chance to not vote, pointing out that they
could be committing a felony, face large legal fees, be deported or have
problems pursuing U.S. citizenship. http://www.freep.com/article/20121005/NEWS06/121005078/Federal-judge-grants-injunction-preventing-Secretary-of-State-from-requiring-citizenship-checkboxes-on-ballots?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
So, please tell me what is wrong with asking a voter if they are a citizen of the United States? Nothing, unless you are a Democrat.
And the judge in this case was appointed by Bill Clinton.
Sunrise — 6:31, 6:37, 6:46, 6:51.
