Saw this last night. Hope that it's true since I was really scratching my head about Scalia with this opinion.

When someone registers to vote, they can use the federal form or the state form.

Scalia noted that if the FEDERAL form is used, then the state of Arizona cannot trump federal law and require proof of citizenship.

However, Scalia protected the right of the state of Arizona to require proof of citizenship when the STATE form is used to register to vote.

Here is why the left lost big:
The state of Arizona doesn’t have to promote the use of the federal forms.

They can put the state form on-line, stock the registrar’s offices with state forms, etc. The federal forms can sit in a storeroom and gather dust.

And the state of Arizona retains the right to refuse a registration if they have proof that a potential voter is not a citizen.
