It’s wrong, it’s disgusting, and it needs to stop
The Supreme Court Ruling Came after Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer had stated on Tuesday that he planned to file a lawsuit with the Arizona Supreme Court that would prohibit tens of thousands of residents from voting in state and local elections if they fail to produce their proper citizenship papers.
“All of these people have attested under penalty of law that they are U.S. citizens. And, in all likelihood, they are almost all U.S. Citizens,” Richer wrote in a post on X. “But they have NOT provided documented proof of citizenship.”
This should not be that hard for a “Just” Supreme Court. Their ruling does not uphold the state law that requires documented proof of citizenship. As Stephen Richter explained, some and perhaps even most could be American citizens, but they didn’t provide evidence, and therefore, they should not be entitled to vote.
I’m a nice guy, but I can’t get into a sporting event or a movie without a ticket. There are rules and laws for good reasons. The Arizona Supreme Court should have followed the law and disallowed those who didn’t follow the rules from voting.
This is not justice. This is a smack in the face to everyone who obeys the law. Once again, the Democrats have promoted division and frustration by making excuses for lawlessness and corruption.
It’s wrong, it’s disgusting, and it needs to stop.
