Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia
Decision Bars Georgia From Continuing Voter Verification Process

Atlanta - “The decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to deny preclearance of Georgia’s already implemented citizenship verification process shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections. With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft. DOJ’s decision also nullifies the orders of two federal courts directing Georgia to implement the procedure for the 2008 general election. The decision comes seven months after Georgia requested an expedited review of the preclearance submission.

“DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists. DOJ completely disregarded Georgia’s obvious and direct interest in preventing non-citizens from voting, instead siding with the ACLU and MALDEF. Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy.
 
“This process is critical to protecting the integrity of our elections. We have evidence that non-citizens have voted in past Georgia elections and that more than 2,100 individuals have attempted to register, yet still have questions regarding their citizenship. Further, the Inspector General’s office is investigating more than 30 cases of non-citizens casting ballots in Georgia elections, including the case of a Henry County non-citizen who registered to vote and cast ballots in 2004 and 2006.

I am generally one that thinks things average out (return to the mean used to be the term) but it is stuff like this that gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

The law of unintended consequences may prevail...I have 2 cats and quite a few dead relatives who can vote too....unfortunately, most conservatives I know, myself included, are not dishonest people.

I think I'm going to be sick... Obama KNOWS Georgia has a chance of turning blue, and he's essentially allowing criminals to vote to help in that endeavor. Jackass!    I hope someone in this state has some balls and tries to drag this all the way to the Supreme Court.

I can't wait to get out of this state as soon as I get my degree... UGH!

With ACORN there is a chance of every state turning blue.

And move where? Kalifornia?? If this bozo gets his way, the whole country will turn blue...even if it's by illegal means.

Well, I was already planning on leaving this state anyway... just received more motivation to get done and get the hell out of here.  Will probably just go back to Louisiana, where there is a fantastic governor in office right now, given the GA one is just like Bush... a lame-duck traitor to real conservative beliefs.

Hi,

I look at this decision as one that is one more nail in the coffin.......how can the federal government say that they are not infringing on Georgia's Sovereignty?  It is stuff like this which will cause states to secede once again.  We are heading for a revolution.  Our government has to be destroyed and we have to start over and forming a new union is one way to do that if you ask me.

I think this could go to the Supreme Court if the state of Georgia wants to push back.  I would like to see the GA Secretary of State and the Governor sue the DOJ over Eric Holder's dictates.
