The Obama Administration's Dept of Justice this week rejected a Georgia law that requires "citizenship checks" for voter registration (social security numbers and drivers' license data). The DOJ argues that the law places an undue burden on various minorities, which has a "discriminatory effect" on their voting rights. However, the Georgia Secretary of State argues that the legal effect of this decision is that it would even allow non-citizens (read: illegals) to vote in Georgia state elections. And yes, it is the illegal aliens "movement" that is behind all this: the name of the group that filed suit leading to the DOJ decision is the "Southeastern Regional Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund."
It seems pretty clear what the Obama DOJ is up to here: softening the voter registration rules for groups such as ACORN, to clear the way for more illegal voters. They are already changing the demographics of the voting population in this country, and movements like this will clearly support that trend. We had better hope that Georgia and other states are successful in fighting off this attempt by the federal government to tinker with their elections for political reasons. If they aren't, the integrity of our elections is going to be seriously compromised in the near future. It already has been, IMHO, but moves like this one by the DOJ will really "open the floodgates" to illegal voters, as the Georgia Sec. of State said.
