Fox News reported Saturday that the Obama Justice Department is "sending a small pack of election observers to Arizona as Hispanic groups sound the alarm over an anti-illegal immigration group's mass e-mail seeking to recruit Election Day volunteers to help block illegal immigrants from voting."
Wait a minute. The Justice Department is sending observers because someone sent out a mailing recruiting volunteers to help block illegal immigrants from voting. The Justice Deparment isn't going there to prevent illegals from voting--they are going there because someone else is attempting to prevent illegals from voting. As usual, the Obama Justice Department is on the wrong side of the voting issue (Remember the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia?).
The article reports:
"Part of the concern for voter fraud monitors is a result of a ruling this week by a federal appeals court that stripped the state of its ability to request proof of citizenship when residents register to vote. State officials say the ruling could increase the likelihood of voter fraud but not in next week's midterms because the deadline for registration passed before the decision.
"At Arizona polls, voters must show one piece of identification that includes their name, address and photograph, such as a driver's license. They also can provide two forms of ID with their names and address, such as a utility bill or bank statement. Voters can also provide one form a acceptable photo ID with another form of non-photo ID that includes their name and address, such as a passport and a utility bill."
I don't want to make it difficult for any American to vote. However, I want to make sure that every person who casts a vote in America is a legal voter. I am sorry that those in the Obama Justice Department do not seem to feel the same way.
