The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday requested the U.S. Supreme Court “deny” Republicans’ bid to enforce an Arizona law requiring individuals to prove they’re U.S. citizens when registering and voting in elections.
Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar requested that the nation’s highest court instead allow a lower court decision — one prohibiting the implementation of provisions of the statute in question — to remain in effect for the November election.
As The Federalist previously reported, the 2022 law mandated residents to show documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) when registering via state voter registration forms. The statute also required such proof for individuals submitting mail-in ballots and voting in presidential contests.
(In Arizona, individuals who do not provide DPOC when registering to vote are permitted to do so as “federal-only voters” and cast ballots in federal elections).
The Republican National Committee and Arizona’s GOP legislative leadership filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court on Aug. 8, asking the justices to place a stay on the lower 9th Circuit Court’s decision and allow the law’s DPOC requirements to take effect for the 2024 election. Nearly half the country’s state attorneys general and several conservative organizations have since filed amicus briefs with the high court requesting a stay be issued.
In the DOJ’s Friday filing, Prelogar claimed “applicants are not entitled to a stay” and encouraged the court to “deny” such a request. Specifically, she argued that “judicial intervention at this stage would undermine the orderly administration of the election, risking the disfranchisement of thousands of voters who have already registered to vote using the federal form.”

Remember when the democRATs said that the illegal invaders would never be allowed to vote?
BTTT
The ONLY reason anyone would oppose voter ID laws is because they want NON-Citizens to fraudulently cast a ballot.
PERIOD. I’ve heard all the other lame excuses and none of them hold up.
“The ONLY reason anyone would oppose voter ID laws is because they want NON-Citizens to fraudulently cast a ballot.”
Which is something that Trump can point out to Heels Up and the nation during their debate.
And during their debate, Trump should repeatedly emphasize about five different concepts over and over and hang them around her joyful, cackling neck.
SCOTUS needs to man up and make sure non-citizens are not cancelling out the votes of AMERICAN CITIZENS just so they can get a free ride on the Limited Edition America Dream Express. The idiots can’t read or understand English. How the hell do they know what the idiot they are voting for stands for.
Democrats protesting truth to keep rigged elections going nothing new.
That screws up all my arrangements.
Yup. But wait, the demscum were lying? I'm shocked, just shocked, I tell everyone.
Kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
later
Let the fraud begin!
And thus, DNC steals Arizona (and makes AZ citizens’ votes Cancelled)

From related threads ...
Given that the congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed concern that states who allowed illegal aliens to vote were wrongly nullifying the "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," the Supreme Court cannot reasonably stop states from requiring proof of citizenship before allowing people to vote imo.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)
" Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)
In fact, Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), that amendment ratified shortly after the excerpts above appeared in the congressional record, is a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.
Note the zero tolerance "hair trigger" wording in that section that should be a warning for any state thinking about rigging an election, letting non-citizens vote just one example of doing so, Pence and the J6 Congress wrongly ignoring that section despite allegations of vote-counting fraud in 2020 elections imo,
Excerpted from 14A:
"But when the right to vote at any election"
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
With Section 2 in mind, consider that if this were a better world, the feds would be reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.
Again, the congressional record indicates that renegade states that try to use the illegal votes of illegal immigrants to win more representation in the House are violating Section 2 imo, an appropriate penalty for trying to do so imo.
The constitutionally reality is that, since worthless career federal lawmakers and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In other words, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

Apparently 11.5 million ballots harvested from illegals is not enough.
sequester drop box ballots and don’t allow them to be counted or tossed into the totals without an audit of those ballots.
only way to ensure even a semblance of integrity via drop box ballots.
The democrats always say our democracy, as opposed to democracy (as if their elitist version is something different).
