WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – Residents of Kansas, Alabama and Georgia are no longer able to register to vote using a federal form without providing proof of U.S. citizenship after a federal elections official added the requirement without public notice or review by the agency’s commissioners.
The move by Brian Newby, the new executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, has sparked a backlash from one of its commissioners, who is asking the changes be withdrawn.
The American Civil Liberties Union says it’s a brazen move that will create additional barriers. Newby defended his decision as a routine administrative action taken at the request of the states.
He took over the agency’s top job last November and came from Kansas, where the secretary of state has pushed for such laws for years.

What’s wrong with that? I wouldn’t go to a foreign country and expect to vote in their elections! That would be preposterous!!!!

How is that racist? You might want to look up the meaning of the word before casting your accusations. Everything is racist these days even when it is not. It’s only common sense, and “Smart” to do so, in these “Corrupt Times” within our Gov’t.
At the same time, I really don’t care if you call me a racist, bigot because I know I am a Patriot. I support the Constitution of this Country, and it’s laws.

Ok here it is folks it is already illegal to vote in any election within the United States of America if you are not a citizen. It is not racist to ask for proof of Citizenship. To do this all you have to provide is a Social Security Card. Non-Citizens cannot get Social Security Cards. Also you can get a birth certificate card from your state’s Bureau of Vital Statistics. Again only those born within the United States will have one of these. It is only fair since as Americans we don’t want anyone not a citizen having a say in the making of our laws or establishing policies that may erode our liberties more than they already have. No non-Citizen has a say in our political system and they must get over it. Only American citizens can decide who our elected officials are and by referendum what laws we want to have.
