OPINION: No wonder Republicans want to drop citizenship mandate for Arizona voters
By Laurie Roberts, Arizona Republic,

It’s fascinating to watch the Arizona Republican Party’s sudden interest in allowing voters who haven’t proven they are U.S. citizens to cast ballots in this year’s state and local elections.

Normally, party leaders drop onto the fainting couch at the mere mention of “federal-only” voters — people who have affirmed, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and thus eligible to vote in federal elections.

For two decades, Arizona residents have been required to provide documented proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in state and local elections.

And for two decades, Arizona’s GOP leaders have slimed those “federal-only” voters, calling them “illegal aliens” and insisting that everybody should have to prove their citizenship in order to vote.

And if some U.S. citizens cannot? Oh, well.

Every fu**in democrat has voted to let illegal aliens vote, and they have let millions of them into the country. They are doing it purely and only for political gain. They keep whining about the 'non partisan' immigration bill that trump supposedly blocked, always ignoring HB-2 that would be a much better halfway solution.

They keep whining about abortion in the presidential campaign, when it a STATE BY STATE issue now, and not a federal issue.

I am not amazed by your incredible hypocrisy in posting this story. It is par for the course for you.
