Justice Department to Send Election Observers to Arizona to Make Sure Illegals Get to Vote
The Justice Department announced Friday it would deploy more than 400 federal observers to 30 jurisdictions in 18 states ahead of Tuesday's election. But Arizona officials say the department had already committed to sending observers to their state.
But William Gheen, executive director of Americans for Legal Immigration, said he knows why they're coming.
"They're sending them out because the Obama administration is doing everything it can to make sure as many illegal aliens vote in 2010 alt
"We don't know why (the observers are) coming," he said. "
In Takoma Park, Md., non-citizens have been able to vote in local elections since March 1992, said the city clerk, Jessie Carpenter.

Here in Texas, you have to be registered and you have to show ID *AND* your voter registration card. You can't just stroll up to the polls and say "hey, let me vote!" You have to show that you're 18 and a citizen:

Once they've got that, then you can vote... but you have to show up with your registration card and government picture ID, otherwise you get turned away. Every polling place in Texas has a list of registered voters and you can't run in and register the day of the election and expect to be able to vote.
Arizona's law says the same thing as Texas' does:

Your title is BS. You don't know why they are sending the election volunteers to AZ. Most likely it's to make sure that illegal immigrants DON'T vote. And that there are no issues surrounding the fight there.
