This is tricky.
The Arizona law requests proof of citizenship beyond what the USSC has ruled is sufficient proof — and that proof is Federal Election Registration. The problem is that Federal Election Registration can be obtained by attesting that the individual is a citizen without providing documentation.
That does look like a hole in the process, but keep in mind the Arizona (or Federal) law enforcement people can investigate people with one of these registrations and determine if the person is a citizen. If they are not, it would be a felony fraud.
This is not a zero risk situation for trucking illegals to the polls. It’s not like that at all. A substantial number of these folks originally got their drivers license in the 1990s before additional state requirements were imposed and having that drivers license constitutes proof of citizenship, since it was shown originally.
Estimates are 57% of these elderly drivers are Republicans.
So closing this hole is not excluding only Dems.
Good points. I do wonder how many people who actually bother to vote would fail to follow up by submitting info from any of a vast array of docs (DL, state non-DL id card, birth certificate, passport, tribal ids, immigration docs, etc.), so they could vote in state and local elections.
