Federal law trumps state law, sorry that's just how it works. If the people vote on a law that's unconstitutional it's still unconstitutional and should be removed.
Unconstitutional as determined by a three judge panel. I'd like to see this issue go to the SCOTUS, because it seems odd to me that we can declare that only citizens have the right to vote, but at the same time remove any means of verifying citizenship when it comes to voting.
That is a legitimate question, but irrelevant to this court ruling. This case didn't and shouldn't have considered federal law in determining this case. This court ruling merely determined that the state law ran counter to federal law, and that can NEVER be done.
The issue of is the federal law right is another matter. I happen to disagree , I think proof SHOULD be required, and anyone who doesn't is a whack job.
