RNC Sues Arizona To Block Voting Access for Overseas U.S. Citizens​

Republicans filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to block a state law that allows certain U.S. citizens living abroad to vote in Arizona elections.

The Arizona law at issue permits overseas U.S. citizens to register to vote in Arizona if one of their parents is a registered Arizona voter. The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the state GOP argue that the statute violates the Arizona Constitution’s residency requirement for voting.

The plaintiffs also argue that voters allowed under the challenged law are “disproportionately non-Republican,” citing internal data showing that only 18.2% of overseas voters in Maricopa County are registered Republicans, compared to 51.3% who are registered Democrats.

“Democrats want to cheat in our elections by allowing votes from people who have never established legal residency,” RNC Chair Michael Whatley said in a press release.

This new challenge fits into a broader Republican legal strategy to undermine overseas voting access. In North Carolina, Republican Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin tried to have overseas voters disenfranchised as part of his failed effort earlier this year to overturn the results of the election.


Voter suppression efforts by the RNC and state Repub parties have always been about preventing people from voting if they aren't Repubs. The difference being this time around they said the quiet part out loud.

The right’s war on democracy continues, as does the tyranny of Republican minority rule.
 
If the dude counts toward Arizona's representation numbers, then I don't see how they can prevent him from voting. But if he's not included in their census, he needs to hit the road.

Democrats are just pissed off when anything prevents illegal voting or double voting. Let's face it, they aren't too smart. Just look at the other things they believe in.

Americans have many different things where you have to show proof in order to get things, except for voting, where we just take people's words that you are eligible to vote.

If they are qualified to vote in Arizona, what does it matter if one of their parents is a registered Arizona voter?

The war on Democracy continues, and they are getting more brazen.

They are much less careful about letting the "quiet part" out these days, and that is worrying.
