Arizona's proof of citizenship law heads back to the courts amid fears of noncitizen voting
Fox News
Arizona residents shared their views on the ongoing court battle over Arizona's 2022 election bill that requires voters to show proof of citizenship.
The Supreme Court allowed the enforcement of restrictions that block people from voting in state and local elections, but those who have registered without that proof can still vote in presidential and congressional elections with a different federal form. That form requires them to swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Neil Gorsuch would have granted the application in full, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application in full. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh provided a compromise of sorts with their deciding votes. The now-stalled 2022 state law requiring proof of citizenship was challenged by civil rights groups and the Arizona Democratic Party.
