Arizona Groups File Lawsuit Against New Law Requiring Registration Forms to Include Proof of Citizenship

A law passed this year in Arizona, NB 2492, requires people who register to vote to attach proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization papers. On March 31, some Arizona voter advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit against the new law. Living United for Change in Arizona v Hobbs, 2:22cv-519. The lead plaintiff is usually referred to by its acronym, LUCHA. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Susan R. Bolton. Here is the Complaint.

Arizona and Kansas jointly passed similar laws some years ago, and they were struck down because Article One gives Congress the right to pass election laws concerning congressional elections, and Congress had already mandated a federal voter registration form that does not require such documentation. Arizona is now trying to get around this past ruling by saying that voters who register to vote without the documentation can still be considered registered for congressional elections, but not presidential elections.

  1. States define who are electors/voters in USA elections —

    1-2-1

    subject to all the Negative stuff in 15-19-24-26 Amdts.

    On to SCOTUS very shortly ???

  2. This bill is likely also unconstitutional on 24th Amendment grounds, since documents proving one’s citizenship are typically not obtained free of charge, and thus requiring them without eliminating that monetary cost would result in a poll tax.

  3. Maybe they need to make a USA Citizenship Card in this country and it to be issued to every citizen after proof of being a citizen.

  4. God will punish the illegal invaders and the traitors trying to help bring them in. You will be sent to the worst part of hell.

  5. @Sam… sorry but sensible people ditched the mythology eons ago; God’s not real. BTW, Hell (as a place) isn’t even in the Bible, nor is mentioned by any name.

  6. Alden is ignoramus who should read the Bible and repent. Hell is in the Bible and is real. God is real. So is Satan. Alden will get one hell of a surprise when she dies and finds out it’s real for herself. By then it will be too late to repent.
