Check your registration!

In Aug, #SCOTUS used its #ShadowDocket to allow #Arizona, a key swing state, to require proof of citizenship w/ voter registration forms at the request of the #RNC.

But perhaps least known—& yet, most important—was #MooreVHarper, a 2023 ruling in which the court set the stage for the next #BushVGore scenario by holding that the justices themselves would have THE LAST SAY when it comes to questions over state-level #election rules & disputes.

But for 20 yrs, #Arizona #law has gone further & required residents to show birth certificates, naturalization papers or other documents proving #citizenship to vote in state & local #elections.

At issue is a pool of voters who county & state ofcls have no record of submitting those documents. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) said the vast majority are likely longtime citizens who are eligible to #vote in all races.

#election #ElectionLaw

A key #election ofcl in #Arizona’s #MaricopaCounty plans to ask the state’s highest court as early as Tues to prohibit nearly 100k longtime residents from voting in STATE & LOCAL races this fall after discovering the state has no record of asking them for documents proving their #citizenship.

Like other states, AZ requires voters to swear that they are citizens when they register to #vote.
