Supreme Court takes up case about Arizona’s proof of citizenship requirement for voter registration

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up a case involving a pair of election-integrity laws in Arizona, including a requirement to show proof of citizenship for a state voter registration form.

The high court will hear the case Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota in its next term, which will deal with two key questions about Arizona election law. The first question presented to the justices asks whether either the National Voter Registration Act or a federal consent decree prohibits the state from asking for proof of citizenship when using a state form to register to vote, while the second question asks whether the NVRA bars Arizona from checking for and cleaning its voter rolls of noncitizens within 90 days of a federal election.

"For years, Arizona has taken common-sense steps to enforce its citizenship qualification and secure its elections," the petition from the RNC said. "Each time, it has had to defend those steps from federal lawsuits. 'This case,' like those before it, 'concerns Arizona’s efforts to enforce that qualification.' Specifically, it concerns two policies adopted by Arizona’s legislature following the 2020 election: a requirement for applicants using a state voter-registration form to provide proof of citizenship and a requirement for state election officials to review voter rolls and remove noncitizens."

So there you have it....Leave it the the states the dems say, then they shop for a leftist judge when something does not go their way.

Nope.

Democrats do not say "leave it to the states," the US Constitution does. But their are rules and guidelines, and constitutions issues to be addressed.

"We demand our way, no matter the rules" Republicans say, then they shop for a lunatic rightwing judges when something does not go their way.

We remember:
The people pushing 'election integrity' 'honestly don't know their ass from first base about how to run elections or what election integrity means'

HEADLINES: GOP convention in chaos after they require a photo ID to vote

The Supreme Court will consider the legality of two Arizona laws requiring prospective voters to produce proof of citizenship to register, the court announced on Monday.

The court’s acceptance of the case for its term that begins in October opens a new front in the justices’ review of rules around voting and federal elections, including the consideration of race when drawing congressional districts and a Mississippi state law governing mail-in ballots.

It also means the justices will be wading into an issue that has become a pivotal fight for the Trump administration. President Trump has forcefully pushed for proof-of-citizenship requirements to vote, taking executive actions to demand voter rolls containing personal information from states and pushing for the creation of state-by-state citizenship lists. He also has nearly ground Congress’s legislative work to a halt over demands for a bill that would include such requirements.

Federal law already limits voting in federal elections to U.S. citizens, and there is no evidence that illegal voting by migrants is a major problem. A review of 49.5 million voter registrations nationwide found roughly 10,000 registered noncitizen voters, about two-hundredths of a percent.

These questions have been raised for over 5 years. WTF, doesn't the SCOTUS take this problem up on an expedited basis. There is no more important issue than the integrity of the voting system in the US.

If there is even ONE illegal vote, that is TOO MANY and it disinfranchises EVERY LEGAL VOTER.

What nonsense. Perfection being the enemy of the good, is always nonsense.

love this one:
"Perfect is the enemy of good" is a classic proverb meaning that an obsessive pursuit of flawlessness often prevents you from completing tasks or making practical progress. Holding out for an unattainable ideal leads to burnout and procrastination, making a "good enough" result far more valuable."

We remember what you fools are really like:
The people pushing 'election integrity' 'honestly don't know their ass from first base about how to run elections or what election integrity means'
