Forget Chicago for a minute … there's some big news coming out of Washington, D.C. Thursday. The Supreme Court has upheld an Arizona law that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. We know that it's racist to require any form of ID to vote, but welcome to Arizona.
Here's GOP Chairman Michael Whatley:
Huge win: the Supreme Court just ruled that the state of Arizona must REJECT state voter registration forms without proof of US citizenship.

This follows an emergency SCOTUS appeal from the RNC.
A seismic win in the fight to stop non-citizens from voting -- more to come!
It goes into effect immediately, before the November elections.
BREAKING.🚨

The only people opposing this are people who want to cheat in elections

Zach Schonfeld reports for The Hill:
The Supreme Court on Thursday partially agreed to the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) emergency request to revive an Arizona law that strengthens proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.
In a 5-4 vote, the justices reinstated Arizona’s law mandating officials reject state voter registration forms if the person did not provide proof of citizenship.
The court’s three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
What is up with ACB lately?
It’s sad we have to celebrate proof of citizenship to vote.

How long until Democrats call this radical right wing extremism?

The second they hear about it.
Now to remove all non-eligible, non-citizens from the voter rolls.

Imagine celebrating common sense as a victory. Welcome to 2024.

Will this be implemented federally now or only in AZ? If only AZ, can other states tag along?

Surely it was 9-0 right

This is huge for Arizona! But it’s not enough. There’s still 40k registered for federal elections that don’t get removed.

Winning never gets old.

The former Biden campaign tried to ridicule the Republicans' SAVE Act by pointing out that it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. We'll be interested to read the dissenting opinion in this case.
