Not unbelievable, impossible. You are not suggesting the Obama Administration is in favor of cheating are you?

Whatever. We'll destroy the world in another hundred years or so. So there's no reason to get so upset about America's workforce being able to vote.

You mean welfare force?

liberal once meant someone for liberty, now it means equality and multiculturalism... not equality of opportunity (liberty), but equality of result... which is best represented in fascist communism.

1. your title is either deliberately or ignorantly false in that the specific policy/program to which the doj is opposed is not the 2009 georgia sb 86 which requires new registrants to provide proof of citizenship nor does it require anyone to have id.  what ga's secretary of state has implemented and is now trying to defend is a system by which registrations are checked against driver's license or social security records and rejected if a single character has been transposed or incorrectly entered.  

2. georgia--as a consequence of its long and heinous history of denying non-white citizens the right to vote--is legally mandated to have any proposed election law policy changes approved by the doj.

3. ms handel is planning to run as a republican for governor of ga and this is apparently her hot-button issue.  guess which fast-growing group of new voters she's driving away from the gop by rejecting over 200,000 applications during the first quarter of 2009?  maybe she should pay a lil more attention to republican representative to the state board of elections randy evans who pronounced her policy 'a waste of taxpayer money'  and 'a slap in the face to latino voters.'

The great thing about the US, freedom of speech, and freedom to act the fool.

oh yes, the stupid republicans driving away the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT VOTE.

wanna know who's stupid?  

anyone who actually believes illegals sit around scheming up ways to get their hands on a ballot. 

people who are entitled to vote can barely be persuaded to get off their asses on election day. 

illegals, on the other hand, can't pass up a chance to bamboozle election officials.  it's as if things aren't risky enough for them, and they so relish the thrill of creating for themselves one totally unnecessary opportunity to have someone scrutinize their fake documents thereby putting themselves and their families in danger of arrest and deportation, they just can't resist the pull of the polling place.

wanna know who makes those morons look like einstein?

people who don't realize there are a whole lotta legal citizens of latino or hispanic descent...so many, it won't be too much longer before there's more of em than there are of you.

Once again, KB has no grasp of reality.

The illegals aren't planning this, it's the dems who want their votes.

Don't you remember how they go around picking them up, serving them food, cigarettes, etc. just to get them to the polls. 

The ignorance is amazing.

As required by law and ordered by federal courts in October 2008, the eligibility of new applicants to register and vote is checked against the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and Social Security Administration databases to ensure that individuals registering to vote report similar information. If information in these databases does not match information reported on the voter registration form, the applicant is asked to clarify the information. Additionally, if the applicant previously reported to DDS that he or she is not a U.S. citizen, that person is asked by a registrar to provide proof of citizenship.

On October 10, 2008, activist organizations including the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit to attempt to prevent Georgia from verifying the eligibility of applicants to register and vote in the November General Election, including whether those individuals were citizens of the United States.

But of course, this doesn't matter.  I mean, democrats across the country are supportive of ID being required to vote, right?

I don't know how much you know about illegals or if you know any or enough of them, but I have seen and known many and you'd be surprised just how eager they are to be able to vote for someone who will give them what they want. They use illegal documents to work and get money from the Gov't, they have no problems using them for voting.

besides which, voter fraud organizations like ACORN use illegals and even dead people to commit voter fraud en masse.

I think not.  As long as there are no requirements to prove citizenship, there is zero risk.  Proof of citizenship requirements would indeed tend to keep illegals away from the polls - kinda the point, it would seem, even to this moron.

as is the irony of your conclusion.  ignorance is a keystone of allegations such as yours (got any actual documentation or is all that just something 'everyone knows'?). 

in contrast the brennan centers's truthaboutvotingfraud.org HAS extensively investigated this issue and documented it's findings (which you can read for yourselves here). 

here's a short excerpt:

Exaggerated or unfounded allegations of fraud by noncitizens include the following:

• In Washington in 2005, an individual asked county offices to investigate the citizenship status of
1,668 registered voters based on their “foreign-sounding names.” There are no reports of which
we are aware that any individual on the submitted list was actually a noncitizen.

• In Washington in 2004, documentation appears to show that two votes were cast in King County
by noncitizens. There are no reports of which we are aware that either of these noncitizens knowingly
voted illegally, although one did ask to rescind his vote shortly after the election. Given
these votes, the rate of documented noncitizen votes — without proof of fraud — in King
County was 0.0002%.

• In Milwaukee in 2001, journalists analyzed 370,000 voting records from 1992 to 2000, and
found four instances in which voters’ names matched a list of naturalized city residents, but appeared
to have voted before their naturalization dates; there is no indication of which we are aware
that any of these four knowingly voted illegally. Even if all four of the matched records accurately
represented noncitizen votes, the rate of noncitizen voting among the city records examined
would have been 0.001%.

• In Hawaii in 2000, 553 apparent noncitizens were alleged to have registered to vote. On further investigation,
144 documented that they had become citizens. At least 61 individuals affirmatively
asked to cancel their registration; the others were stopped at the polls and specifically asked about
their citizenship before voting. There are no reports of which we are aware that any noncitizen
actually voted. To the extent that noncitizens were actually represented on the rolls, officials attributed
the registrations to mistake rather than fraud.

• In Hawaii in 1998, four years after an INS investigation into more than 10,000 names identified
fewer than twelve noncitizens whose names matched those on the voter rolls, the INS again
investigated claims of extensive noncitizen voting. The agency examined 1,200 noncitizens suspected
of voting, but found no evidence that any had voted. A separate proceeding uncovered
three noncitizens who had indeed voted in 1998, and three others who were reported to be under
further investigation. There are no reports of which we are aware that any noncitizens voted
knowing that they were ineligible. But even if all six had voted, the overall noncitizen voting rate
would have been 0.001%.

• In California in 1996, 924 noncitizens allegedly voted in Orange and Los Angeles Counties,
including 624 allegedly ineligible voters identified by the Task Force of the U.S. House of Representatives
investigating the Dornan/Sanchez election. The allegations were based largely on attempts
to match immigration lists to voter rolls, but only 71 voters matched name, date of birth,
and signature; other matches were less reliable. Most of the identified voters were processed by one
nonprofit group registering individuals proceeding through the naturalization process; many were
registered immediately after passing an INS citizenship interview, and after receiving a letter indicating
that they had become naturalized. At least 372 of the voters were apparently officially sworn
in before Election Day. There are no reports of which we are aware that any noncitizens registered
or voted knowing that they were ineligible. Even assuming there were no matching errors, and
leaving aside the critical question of intent, if all 552 remaining individuals were in fact noncitizens
when they cast their votes, the overall noncitizen voting rate would have been 0.017%.

considering the policy you're defending claims to have identiied nearly 200,000 supposedly ineligible voters--the majority of whom are non-whites--it's no wonder the doj has a problem with it--as should all americans who truly believe in equal rights for every citizen.

except for almost exactly 8 months last year, i've lived the majority of my life in what was once known as el pueblo de nuestra señora la reina de los angeles del río de porciúncula. in case that, in of itself, doesn't resulve your concern about who and what i know in this regard, lemme clarify by lettn you knnow i've lived among and interacted with illegals of all nationalities on such a frequent basis, doing otherwise would be the exception.  on behalf of clients and employers, i've provided whatever assistance i was able to nearly a dozen of their employees or my co-workers in their ultimately successful efforts to gain legal citizenship.  although i've never done it, i know where and from whom i could obtain a complete set of manufactured id documents of what i've been assured to be nearly undetectable quality. 

i've been privy to countless tales of all sorta of nefarious schemes and extra-legal activities (related to me by participants both citizens and non-citizens), but have never once heard--or been told by or about anyone who i know or who i know who knows someone who knows someone ad infinitum--of any non-citizen desiring, much less attempting, to cast a vote in our elections.

on the other hand, i've seen a number of politically motivated attempts--several first-hand in my presence, not all in california btw--to intimidate legal citizens who appeared to be of hispanic or african descent in hopes of dissuading them from from casting votes.
