22,000 People Disenfranchised in Arizona
According to today's broadcast of Democracy Now, Bev Harris reports that up to 22,000 people have tried to register to vote in Arizona only to have their registrations rejected.
The requirement for new voters is that they are able to prove citizenship in order to register. While this may seem reasonable on it's face, many people do not have either a current passport or a birth certificate laying around their house.
Perhaps some of those attempting to register where not in this country legally, perhaps....but does anyone really think that a majority of the percentage of these folks who have been disenfranchised are here illegally?
By the way, we have no idea just who these people are, they may just as easily be Munsil and Kyl voters as Pederson and Napolitano voters. Regardless of your political persuasion or choices at the polls, this is an unjustice.
