On August 1, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit overturned a prior decision that required proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. This ruling, which was decided in a narrow 2-1 vote, now allows individuals to register to vote using a state form, without having to provide citizenship documentation for federal positions such as President and Congress.
The law, enacted by Arizona's Republican-led Legislature in 2022, was designed to prevent non-citizens from voting by mandating proof of citizenship if registering to vote with the state. The initial emergency stay, issued on July 18 by a different Ninth Circuit panel, had supported this requirement.
"This is just another example of why the radical Ninth Circuit is the most overturned circuit in the nation," said Senate President Warren Petersen. "They routinely engage in judicial warfare to carry out their extremist liberal agenda that's contrary to the laws our citizens elected us to implement. We will seek assistance from the Supreme Court to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections. If this principle is not followed, democracy as we know it, and as our Founding Fathers intended, is in jeopardy."

Well, there goes Arizona, unless SCOTUS steps in and restores the rule of law.
We have Marxist judges, Marxist election officials, Marxist Secretaries of State, and Marxists all over government. If I didn’t know better I would think this is all a very bad dream. God help us!
Ninth Circuit Appeals Court BLOCKS Arizona’s Proof of Citizenship Requirement to Vote
___________________________________________________
The fact that ANY major court would/could block this proves just how dangerously unstable our form of government is built upon.
The article provides the opinion of everyone except the one that matters. Sigh...
More fleecing of the taxpayers.
“The radical Ninth Circuit is the most overturned circuit in the nation, ... “ If they cannot interpret the law, the Ninth Circuit Appeals should be removed. All the Ninth Circuit Appeals is is a group of extremist activists draining taxpayers for their circus act.
Waiting for Roberts et al to remand the case downward or dismiss it completely because of “lack of standing.” You read it here first.
I think according to the Constitution it’s up to the states to direct the process.
Doesn’t this mean it takes effect for this election because the Supreme Court doesn’t get back till October and then would schedule hearings after going thru the process of deciding to take the case?
I don’t think it unreasonable to think that the SCOTUS will bar illegals from voting in federal elections.
What we need is a new Joseph McCarthy.
They don’t know their Constitution very well, do they?
Changed their to the
Still trying to find where in that pesky constitution thingie that the fed was granted the power to regulate state election law....
So the 9th Jerkit is at it again.
You’re right. You would think every US citizen would have standing here, since our votes are going to be diluted by those that are illegal, but when SCOTUS said that Trump had no standing in 2020, that was the beginning of the end.
