United States Supreme Court Partially ruled He sided with the Republican National Committee and allowed Arizona’s election integrity law to stand just before a critical deadline for printing ballots.
The 5-4 ruling allows state officials to reject state voter registration forms unless potential voters provide proof of citizenship.
“It’s a crushing victory.”
Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the dissenting opinion with liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
But the court narrowly struck down another section of the law that would have barred registered voters from casting mail-in ballots in presidential elections if they couldn’t provide proof of citizenship.
The ruling came just before the deadline for printing ballots in Arizona’s current election.
The law was passed in 2022 but never implemented.
Republican Chairman Michael Whatley Declared He called the ruling a “major victory” for election integrity.
“The Supreme Court has ruled that Arizona must reject state voter registration forms without proof of U.S. citizenship. This follows an emergency Supreme Court appeal by the Republican National Committee. A landmark victory in the fight to block non-citizens from voting,” he responded via X.
Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias Declared This ruling is a victory for the Democratic Party.
“The United States Supreme Court has rejected key parts of a Republican motion to reinstate voter suppression laws in 2024,” Elias said. “This is a major win for voting rights and for Arizona voters. I am proud of the work my team did to secure a major court victory at this critical time.”
