AZ Repubs get a bump from the SCOTUS.

The only eligible voters that will be disenfranchised are the ones that are either too lazy or too stupid to get an ID. And they're all Democrats. MAGA
We agree on one thing. The suppressive AZ law is designed for a demographic Repubs believe will vote for the other side. It has nothing to do with actual election integrity, only the perception of such. Since the US doesn't have a voter fraud problem.

Citizenship Requirement​

Only U.S. citizens are eligible to register to vote.

  • U.S. citizenship must be sworn to when registering to vote.
  • Documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) is required to be registered as a "full-ballot" voter. A "full-ballot" voter is entitled to vote for all federal, state, county, and local races as well as state and local ballot measures for which the voter qualifies.
  • An eligible registrant who does not submit DPOC and whose U.S. citizenship cannot be verified via AZMVD records or other record in the statewide voter registration database is registered as a "federal-only" voter. A "federal-only" voter is eligible to vote solely in races for federal office in Arizona (including the Presidential Preference Election (PPE) ) .
Ariz. Const. Art. VII, § 2; A.R.S. § 16-101(A) ; 18 U.S.C. § 611(a) .

Accepted Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC)

"Federal-Only" Voter Designation​

U.S. citizenship must be sworn to when registering to vote. Only U.S. citizens may register to vote in Arizona.

If a registrant does not provide documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) with their registration application and/or it cannot be electronically acquired via AZMVD records or from the statewide voter registration database (and the registrant is not shown to have an F-Type license) , a County Recorder must:

  1. Designate the registrant as a "federal-only" voter; and
  2. Send a letter to the registrant within 10 business days, informing the registrant that:
    • They have not satisfied the DPOC requirements; and
    • They must submit DPOC to become a "full-ballot" voter, and must provide DPOC by 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before any given election in order to vote a "full-ballot" in that election; and
    • They will remain a "federal-only" voter until they submit valid DPOC to become a "full-ballot" voter.
In order to receive a "full-ballot" for a given election, the voter must provide DPOC to the County Recorder no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the upcoming Election Day.

If DPOC is given after that deadline, the voter will be registered for a "full-ballot" for future elections.

Of course, suppressing illegal aliens who would vote for Dems.
And, of course, morons, too stupid to get ID, who would also vote for Dems.
 
It's common sense, thus why Dimocrats would be against it.
 
In a statement, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley called the Supreme Court’s ruling “a major victory for election integrity that upholds a simple principle: American elections must be decided by American citizens.”

Nobody disagrees with the notion of elections being decided by US citizens. Elections ARE being decided by US citizens. Making this law about something else. Like preventing eligible voters from voting.
It's shocking to me that the links says 40K arizonians have been turned away from state registration because they don't have an ID?
 
A Partial Win For Arizona Republicans And The Myth Of Non Citizen Voting

In what was at least a partial win for GOP Arizona lawmakers and the Republican National Committee, the Supreme Court on Thursday revived part of an Arizona measure requiring that people show proof of citizenship when registering to vote using a state-created form — an order, which election experts tell TPM, has the potential to disenfranchise thousands of voters who are legally eligible to vote.

Although the court did not greenlight Arizona’s effort to mandate proof of citizenship requirements for federal elections for voters using federal forms to register, the court’s order will require election officials to reject state voter registration forms if voters using them do not provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to reporting from CNN, over 40,000 “federal-only” voters have already been prohibited from casting ballots in state and local elections due to lack of documentary proof of citizenship.

“It’s a really disappointing decision because it means that a lot of people in Arizona who are legally eligible to vote will try to register and they will be rejected if they don’t have proof of citizenship on hand,” Brent Ferguson, senior legal counsel at the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center said in an interview with TPM, “and it just really hurts democracy in Arizona and just for our country generally.”

Not only will this disenfranchise eligible voters, Ferguson also pointed out that the fact that this change will go into effect very close to an election, and will also create confusion around how to register and how to vote, breading distrust into the election system.

“This is a really big and confusing change very close to an election,” he said. “County officials throughout Arizona have to change how they’re treating applications that they get in, some of which may have already, they’re in the middle of processing them.”

Look What They Did To My Boy

Since the US doesn't have a voter fraud problem (no matter how loudly His Orangeness claims it does), what problem are laws like this designed to fix? That's easy. The problem of Repubs losing elections. They also serve to perpetuate the myth there is a problem.

Make no mistake. The national movement lead by Republicans to disenfranchise eligible voters is relentless, well organized, and in some instances is winning. This website........

Georgia Election Deniers Deliver for Trump

At his rally last Saturday night, Donald Trump praised three members of the Georgia State Election Board. Calling them “pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory,” Trump lavished praise and attention on these members of the obscure state agency — by name.

The odd exchange raised more than a few eyebrows. When I wrote about it earlier this week, I suggested that the least damning explanation was that the “three who Trump mentioned from the stage: Janice Johnston, Rick Jeffares and Janelle King have refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden won Georgia in 2020.” We now know that the real reason for Trump’s support for the election officials was far more sinister.

Late yesterday, the board approved a new rule that seeks to expand the role and authority of county boards of election in the certification process. This new rule redefines the certification process to include “reasonable inquiry” into whether the results are “complete and accurate.”

They don't have any trouble finding proof of citizenship when they need some financial perk. If they can't find it for something as important as voting they don't deserve to vote.
