“Every voter registration should be accompanied by proof of citizenship,” Jason Snead said.
As the liberal U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of an Arizona election integrity law, non-citizen voting is facing pushback in both Congress and the states, as citizenship proof and voter ID become more popular.
The Thursday ruling by the court in favor of a law with restrictions on voters who don’t provide proof of U.S. citizenship follows the House of Representatives passing a bill that would also require documentation of a person’s citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections. The positive momentum of election integrity measures follows states implementing laws requiring voter ID and prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
A three judge panel of the court ruled that Arizona residents must provide proof of U.S. citizenship to use the state voter registration form. The court is comprised of 16 judges appointed by Democratic presidents and 13 appointed by Republicans.
The court on Thursday granted a partial stay of the U.S. District Court of Arizona’s ruling in May, now allowing part of the state’s 2022 laws on federal-only voters to take effect, Votebeat reported.
“Every voter registration should be accompanied by proof of citizenship,” Jason Snead said.
No, they MUST be accompanied by proof. Otherwise, cheaters will cheat.
