Republicans requested on Thursday that Arizona legislation that required voters to give video proof of citizenship be amended to allow for the 2024 election.
The Republican National Committee and the GOP leadership in Arizona requested a sit on a lower court’s decision that prohibited the government’s protection in a 5-4 choice. Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh comprised the lot, while Associate Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amy Coney Barrett dissented.
As The Federalist previously , reported, the 2022 statute mandated residents to show documentary proof of citizenship ( DPOC ) when registering via state voter registration forms. Additionally, it required evidence for those casting vote electronically and casting presidential elections. ( In Arizona, individuals who do not provide DPOC when registering to vote are  , permitted , to do so as “federal-only voters” and only cast ballots in federal elections ).
The DPOC need for registering via express voter registration forms is now effective for the 2024 election, according to Thursday’s SCOTUS order. Republicans ‘ request to place a sit on the lower court’s decision, however, did not the high court offer. This would obstruct the lower court’s decision to impose DPOC for those casting ballots and participating in presidential elections.
Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch may have granted Republicans ‘ demand for remain “in full”, according to the purchase.
According to , AZ Free News, more than 11, 600 people voted via “federal-only” vote during the Grand Canyon State’s 2020 vote. That’s larger than Joe Biden ‘s , margin of victory , ( 10, 457 votes ) over Donald Trump.
RNC Chair Michael Whatley wrote on X,” Huge win: the Supreme Court just ruled that the state of Arizona has Accept state voter registration aspects without providing US citizenship.” More to occur in the fight to stop non-citizens from casting ballots!
The Biden-Harris Department of Justice and Arizona’s lawyer public and secretary of state, both Democrats, filed movements asking SCOTUS to claim Republican ‘ demand. U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar baselessly claimed on behalf of the presidency that” administrative action at this point may destroy the orderly management of the vote, and risk the disenfranchisement of thousands of voters who have already registered to cast ballots using the national form.”
