U.S. Supreme Court Allows Arizona for the Time Being to Require Voter Applicants to Furnish Proof of Citizenship to Vote for State and Local, but Not Federal, Office

Posted on by August 22, 2024

On August 22, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order in Republican National Committee v Mi Familia Vota, 24A164.  Arizona requires people filling out a voter registration form to attach proof of citizenship.  This would be a birth certificate for many persons, but for others it would be a copy of naturalization papers.

The legality of this Arizona restriction is pending in the lower courts, but in the meantime, the U.S. Supreme Court says the state can enforce its law for people who want to vote for state and local office.  For people willing to vote only for president and congress, during this interim period, the state cannot block them from registering even if they don’t provide proof of citizenship.  That is because those persons can use the federal voter registration form, with no need for attachments.

Four justices would have blocked the state from enforcing its law, for all offices, while the case is pending.

Three justices would have let the state enforce its law, in the interim, for all voters.

Two justices said the state can enforce its law for some times of offices but not others.  Here is a description of the ruling, and a copy of the ruling, from ElectionLawBlog.

  2. “For people willing to vote only for president and congress, during this interim period, the state cannot block them from registering even if they don’t provide proof of citizenship.”

    Absolutely unhinged.

    SCOTUS break-down:
    Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito (the only two current Supreme Court Justices with a track-record on par with or better than flipping a coin), joined by Neil Gorsuch, are in favor of doing the bare minimum to discourage illegal immigrants from illegally voting.

    John “Rino” Roberts and Brett “Klown” Kavanaugh are in favor of letting illegal immigrants illegally vote in federal elections, but are willing to concede that they can’t force states to allow illegal immigrants to illegally vote in state and local elections.

    Sonia Sodomizer and Elena Pagan (the two current fake “Supreme Court Justices” appointed by an ineligible non-president), joined by Kentucky Fried Jackson (the fake “Supreme Court Justice” appointed by an unelected non-president) and the chronic failure of a judge, wife and mother Amy Crony Barrett, are in favor of illegally forcing states to allow illegal immigrants to illegally vote in every election at every level.

    SCOTUS appointment scores:
    Bush major: +1
    Clinton: DNQ
    Bush minor: +1-1=0
    Obama: -2-2=-4
    Trump: +1-1-2=-2
    Biden: -2

    For Robert Francis Kennedy Jr to walk away from the courtroom and instead through out a sacrifice to Flip it on the crooked democratic party for what they have done to him in the courts

    Will be unprecedented moment in history coming from a lifelong democrat

    Are you proud of your publication?

  21. The actual language of the 15th Amendment is very interesting:

    Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

    Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation

    Note that it does NOT make any statement about whether or not states may allow non-citizens to vote.

  23. “Improperly adopted, should be declared null and void.”

    Even if there were no 15th Amendment, the Constitution says nothing about whether or not a state may allow non-citizens to vote.

  25. At the time of the American Revolution, the key qualifications for voting were to own property. and to pay tax. (No taxation without representation.) There was no citizenship requirement. It was only when property qualifications were removed during the Jacksonian Era, did states start requiring voters to be citizens. Yet, nothing in the Constitution ever required it.

  27. 15 AMDT OBVIOUSLY DERIVED FROM 14-2 AMDT

    US GRANT BARELY WON 1868 ELECTION IN SOME NORTHERN STATES VIA EX BLACK UNION ARMY/NAVY MEMBERS

    15 AMDT HELPED GRANT TO GET ELECTED IN 1872.

    BLACKS LEFT TO ROT AFTER 1876 ELECTION MACHINATIONS — TO 1950S/1960S
