U.S. District Court Strikes Down Arizona Law Requiring Voter Registration Applicants Who Use Federal Form to Provide Proof of Citizenship if they Want to Vote by Mail

On September 14, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton, a Clinton appointee, struck down the Arizona law that requires voters who registered using the federal form to provide proof of citizenship if they want to vote by mail. Mi Familia Vota v Fontes, 2:22cv-509.

Arizona has a long history of trying to force voter registration applicants who use the federal form to attach proof of citizenship. Years ago, the state lost the battle in court to require all users of the federal form to attach proof of citizenship. So then the legislature had enacted a new law, requiring the proof to be attached just for voters who intend to apply for mail ballots. But that is also now struck down.

Here is the 35-page opinion.

The opinion also rejects the argument of the Republican National Committee that the federal law setting up the federal voter registration form can’t be applied to voters who vote in presidential elections.

  1. When you register to vote, you have to check the “I’m a citizen” box, and if you lie and the government finds out, you’re in trouble.

    Can’t Arizona or any other state audit voter registration applications without making the person attach a proof of citizenship? Don’t they already know who you are? This Arizona law shouldn’t be needed.

  2. Legal immigrants support MAGA, oppose illegals in large numbers.

    Fascist donkeys won, but Supreme Court will eventually set it right.

    The flood of fake news links from progressive fascist communist establishment media posted by AZ is growing. How many thousands of fake news links from A to Z per article will the troll moron in chief post here in the future?

  3. I give him credit for pointing out how wind farms kill birds. They also kill whales, among other animals. Otherwise, I have to agree with CKF and Pat.

  4. HOW ABOUT BAN TROLL MORONS START THEIR OWN WEBSITE OF ALLEGED REAL NEWS [ ESP ABOUT ELECTIONS ] AND SEE IF ANY NORMAL HUMAN WITH AN IQ ABOVE 0.666 SHOWS UP TO COMMENT ???

  5. LEFT-WING LIES! FAKE NEWS! WIND FARMS ARE SAFE! ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENTLY HATES AMERICA AND WANTS THE COMMUNISTS TO WIN!

  6. EDWARD BROWNSHIRT IS TALKING TO HIMSELF AGAIN, EXCEPT FOR THE LIE ABOUT MURDEROUS ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED WIND FARMS BEING “SAFE.” THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT.
