A federal appeals court struck down provisions in two Arizona voting laws that sought to increase proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration, saying this week that parts of the law amounted to “voter suppression.”
The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, upholds the findings of a lower court that blocked the 2022 Arizona laws signed by then-Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican. It also sent one of the laws back to the district court to reconsider whether it was enacted with the intention to discriminate.
"We’re glad that the 9th Circuit sees these laws for what they are: anti-voter. These laws would have imposed severe, arbitrary and discriminatory burdens on Latino, Native and student voters in Arizona — undermining their freedom to vote and violating the Constitution and federal law,” said in a statement Danielle Lang, senior director of voting rights at Campaign Legal Center, which litigates to expand voter access.
The court said in its ruling Tuesday that the provisions it struck down violated the National Voter Registration Act, a 2018 consent decree between the League of United Latin American Citizens of Arizona and the state of Arizona regarding voting rights, the Civil Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Conservative groups and Republican state legislators pushed the laws during the 2022 midterm elections amid false allegations of mass voting by noncitizens.

Only in America.
“I am a senior writer covering Latinos, politics, news, a proud Chicana with roots in Texas and Mexico and a big fan of the right to vote.”
9th Circuit engages in "voter suppression."
So they think Hispanics are too stupid to figure out how to get an ID?
Another Ninth Circuit abomination for SCOTUS to reverse.
WTF? Court filled with morons.
probably a good thing since they are overturned like 75% of the time I think
If you think the US is the only country where illegals are voting, please allow me to show you a map...

The day when we determine that our elections were altered by illegals voting is the day when we declare open war on the left...or just give up. Our choice. But, embrace the thought of leftists quivering just before they receive their just comeuppances. Oh, and lamentations, mucho lamentations of their women. Just before they also receive just commuppances.
Yep the 9th circus again
So, no problem having uniformed ICE agents sitting at tables outside of voting locations, just sipping on coffee and eating some pizzas?
What, then, is the point or value of citizenship?
Well yes - I would say it was enacted with the intent to discriminate against those trying to illegally vote.
The most overruled Circuit court in the country.
Thanks for that. It explains a lot!
Most reversed court in the country.

Could just park a marked ICE vehicle in each voting center lot.
