US Supreme Court to hear Republican bid to revive Arizona voter restrictions
The justices will weigh whether Arizona can require documentary proof of citizenship and purge voter rolls, a fight over laws affecting about 20,000 federal-only voters.
- The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider a Republican push to enforce strict Arizona voting laws passed after the 2020 election, including proof-of-citizenship registration requirements and voter-roll purges.
- Following claims by President Donald Trump regarding his loss to Democrat Joe Biden, the Republican-controlled legislature passed the laws in 2022 as part of a nationwide wave of similar voting restrictions.
- Now, people can register as "federal only" voters without providing proof of citizenship, but Arizona requires additional proof for state and local election participation. Citizenship is required nationwide under penalty of perjury.
- Justices are expected to hear arguments in the fall, with an opinion following the midterm elections; the GOP previously received a partial victory allowing Arizona's state-election proof requirement.
- The Supreme Court previously allowed Virginia to continue a voter-roll purge before an election and struck down a 2013 Arizona law requiring proof for national elections, setting conflicting precedents.
