Nearly half of the state attorneys general in the U.S. have filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court in support of an emergency stay sought by the State of Arizona to enforce a law requiring U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The Republican Party of Arizona has filed an emergency application backing HB 2492, a law mandating proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections, even for mail-in ballots.
According to the Arizona GOP, the Constitution grants states the authority to establish voter qualifications, and Arizona is at the forefront of ensuring that only citizens participate in elections. The aim is to eliminate non-citizen voting entirely, a move that the party believes is long overdue.
