Prop. 200 bouncing new voter sign-ups

Pima County turned down 59 percent in last 2 weeks
By C.J. Karamargin
ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Failure to provide proof of citizenship is forcing Pima County election officials to reject an unprecedented number of voter registration forms.

Over the last two weeks, the county has rejected 59 percent or 423 of the 712 registration forms it has received from prospective new voters, said Registrar of Voters Chris Roads.

"We rejected none during the same period last year," when six times as many people were registering because of the presidential election, Roads said. "There was nothing in the law that required a rejection."

New this year are the citizenship requirements contained in Proposition 200, the anti-illegal- immigration initiative passed by Arizona voters last November.

One lady claimed that the form she was given to register didn't have anyplace on the form to add the new ID requirements. In other words, they are enforcing a new law without changing the forms to reflect the changes. How many Dems will be rejected before the next election and how long before the newer forms will be available?
