Supreme Court partially revives Arizona voter proof-of-citizenship requirement
CBSN
Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to revive an Arizona law requiring documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote using a state-created form, but declined to allow enforcement of provisions mandating such proof in order to vote for president or by mail.
The split decision from the high court rejects an emergency request by the Republican National Committee and GOP state legislative leaders. And while it denied Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirements for casting ballots for president or through the mail, it granted Republicans' bid to put on hold a federal district court's order that blocked the rule for those registering to vote while pursuing an appeal.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have granted the Republicans' request in full. But Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have fully denied it.
