News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Judge refuses to block Arizona voter ID requirement

By PAUL DAVENPORT
Associated Press Writer

PHOENIX (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday refused to block implementation of a 2004 state law that requires Arizona voters to present specified types of identification when casting ballots at polling places and to submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver's order came one day before Tuesday's primary, the first statewide election during which the identification requirement for voting at polling places will be implemented.

The 2004 law, which appeared on that year's ballot as Proposition 200, requires that voters at polling places produce government-issued picture ID or two pieces of other non-photo identification specified by the law. It requires proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
