<\/a>In an attempt to create a robust voting bloc and suppress the will of several states, the Obama administration is pushing to enfranchise non-citizens, including illegal immigrants. The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI)<\/a>, FAIR\u2019s public interest legal affiliate, is representing Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas, who is trying to work with the ostensibly non-partisan Election Assistance Commission to help ensure that only citizens register to vote.<\/p>\n At the core of the case<\/a>, the commission is required to amend the federal voter registration form to reflect each state\u2019s strictures against registering non-citizens<\/a>. States must register voters who use the federal form under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, better known as the Motor Voter law.<\/p>\n The League of Women Voters, Common Cause, and People for the American Way, among other plaintiffs, seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to stop the EAC from helping Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and Kansas enforce its voting laws.<\/p>\n
