Supreme Court to Decide on Arizona Voter Registration

Republican Attorneys General from Kansas and West Virginia, supported by 22 states, have filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to halt a ruling that allows Arizona voters to register without proof of U.S. citizenship. The Republican National Committee (RNC) seeks to prevent up to 41,000 Arizona voters, who allegedly did not provide proof of citizenship, from voting in the upcoming presidential election. The RNC argues that Arizona's laws requiring citizenship proof are necessary to maintain election integrity, while the Biden administration and Arizona's Secretary of State oppose the appeal, stating it would cause confusion and disenfranchise voters. The Supreme Court's decision is awaited, as it could impact the presidential race, especially in battleground states like Arizona. Additionally, the Louisiana Supreme Court will decide on the eligibility of candidates for its own second district, focusing on residency and tax filing issues.
