Speaker Johnson: Biden just announced that he would veto our bill to prevent noncitizens from voting

Nowhere in the original writing of the U.S. Constitution does it limitwho can vote.
However, the 14 th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution has defined that issue.

Interpretations of The Fifteenth Amendment by constitutional scholars

Nothing in either the 14th or 15th Amendment limits voting only to Citizens. The Constitution does state that citizens can't have their right to vote terminated without due process (privileges and immunities, age, sex, race, etc.).

However that does not mean that voting can't be allowed for non-citizens. It is federal law that limits non-citizen voting for federal office and state law that limits voting for state/local office.

(NOTE: I don't support non-citizen voting, I would vote against it. However to make the claim that citizen only voting is textually in the constitution is false.)

It would sure be nice if the left started showing respect for citizenship, but they never will.

 

[WorldWatcher]

A lot of resources to verify citizenship

Registration official should ALREADY be verifying eligibility to vote as part of accepting registration.

You Goofy

You still can’t show illegals voting

Not yet, moron. Fortunately, there are still plenty of REAL Americans stopping you and your diseased ilk. Now go play on the freeway.

You claim there are millions voting illegally and you still can’t find any?

 

[WorldWatcher]

A lot of resources to verify citizenship

Such as?

Training poll workers on identifying proper Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, Naturalization paper work
Handling Provisional Ballots

Poll workers don't verify citizenship. Poll workers verify identity. Two different things.

Election Officials as part of the registration process verify eligibility to vote including:

• Citizenship
• Age
• Residence
• Not been disenfranchised through a felony conviction
• Not been deemed mentally incompetent and had the franchise removed

"Should" doesn't apply to libtards.

It would be nice if the right did as well. This definitely is not it.

People who get IDs and stand on their own two feet and vote in person are THINKERS.
Lib loons oppose thought.

Its the highest respect

US citizens should be allowed one vote in every election

But only one vote

 

[Delldude]

What happened to states rights?

Federal election different.

None of which is happening

Judge says NYC can’t let noncitizens vote in city elections

Republicans successfully challenged the law, which would have allowed noncitizens to vote for mayor and other city positions, arguing that it violated the state constitution.

Noncitzens can’t vote

Why does Congress need to pass a bill saying noncitizens can’t vote?

Who's to stop them if they do?

Yet, some choose to vote more than once...

As many times as they can using someone else's name

If a large number voted and tilted the election, what do you think would happen?

Forensic audits would be two years down the road............the cheating party would be sworn in and seated.

Then what?

It literally says the election official. so that is a no. Now if it just permitted my Real notation on my TDL I would be fine with this. But it doesn't. Its designed to eliminate registration by mail, which is how most -if not all- voters register. It prohibits motor voter registration when you get your license.

Nope. Folks at the DMV can be designated as election officials by the state. When you got your Real ID you had to provide proof of citizenship, This bill simply applies the same standard to voter registration. Your argument that it is too onerous is false.

I am indeed registered. Guess what. this would apply to us too. We all get to troop down to the "election official." In Texas it takes us months just to get an appointment to get into the DPS. This will be an additional nightmare.

Nope. Again, read the bill, it only applies to when you register. You're already registered. You don't have to "troop" anywhere.

Nope, but thats the only cult I am involved with (well also the cult of doggoes and TexMex).

I like your concern for working taxpayers, Boomer.
nightmare.

Nope. Again, read the bill.

Already illegal. Let's see how many times this has to be addressed.

And they should not be hindered in that vote.

I did. You will have to re-register. And if you didn't that literally discriminates against new voters, so would not be upheld. Your belief belies the act as if you don't have to re-register, then all those illegal voters are still illegally voting.
