The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed a district court’s injunction against Arizona’s HB2492, a law requiring voter registrations to show proof of U.S. citizenship. This decision means that individuals using state voter registration forms must provide documented proof of citizenship, or their applications will be rejected. However, those using federal forms can still vote for president without proof of citizenship. This ruling is seen as a significant victory for election integrity advocates, including the Arizona GOP, although some argue it does not fully address the issue. The ruling comes after a previous decision in May was stayed. Jake Hoffman commented on this development, highlighting its impact on the presidential race.
I’m grateful for the leadership of @repchiproy and @repbryansteil to safeguard American elections and ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections. I was happy to see the SAVE Act pass the House to safeguard this sacred right. https://t.co/tawdJ3Abh3
