Nearly half the state attorneys general in the U.S. have filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court to back an emergency stay that will allow the State of Arizona to require U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The Republican Party of Arizona said on Thursday that it had filed the emergency application pending appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit "in support of HB 2492, our law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections."
The Arizona law requires proof of citizenship for ballots even if they are filed by mail.
"The Constitution gives states the power to set voter qualifications, and AZ is leading the charge to ensure ONLY CITIZENS vote in our elections," the Arizona GOP tweeted. "This case has the potential to prevent non-citizen voting once and for all, which should have been the case all along."
"The Court should therefore immediately stay the District Court’s injunction to the extent it interferes with Arizona’s constitutional power to choose how it appoints its presidential electors," Harmeet Dhillon, lead attorney for the law group wrote.
The non-partisan group Honest Elections Project said that states "are well within their rights to require people to show proof of citizenship in order to vote by mail." The group stated on its website that "We believe the Supreme Court should allow Arizona’s law to go into effect and allow states to secure their own elections."

“Will they listen and act?”
Pretty safe to say they won’t touch it before the election or they will send it back down.
*Note it was a Federal law about 1986, but something happened to not implement it.
Virginia will also take a passport. I think Virginia only gives out REALID drivers licenses, but you can get some kind of state photo ID, but I don’t know what documents are needed.
My birth state of Tennessee isn’t on the list. I currently live in Huntsville, AL, previously in Atlanta.
“Prove I’m NOT a citizen, I say”
With 20 million illegal aliens now living within our borders, are you sure you want that to be the “law of the land”?
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
of course not but as I said, I’m pushing 70, the IRS knows who I am, the military knows who I am, social security knows who I am, and my bank knows who I am. Why should I have to produce divorce papers to the DMV ( who, btw, also knows who I am because I already gave them those blasted divorce papers when I changed my name on my driver’s license decades ago)? It’s discrimination.
Your social security number remained the same through all the name changes. If your social security number was issued to your maiden name - which is on your birth certificate - then the combination of the SS# and birth certificate should prove your US citizenship if you were a US citizen at birth. If not, then you should have naturalization papers. And even if you don’t have any of these records on you, the govt has the records and they can easily be verified.
I say I’m the President of the United States. Unless and until you can prove that I’m not you have to give me control of the nuclear football. Do you see any problem with that?
Calif DMV gives a citizen two choices: a certified or original birth certificate, or, an unexpired passport, plus other documentation. Which works great for guys. But a woman who has married, has to prove a link between her maiden name to her married name. The only document that would prove a link would be her marriage certificate. If she’s divorced and remarried again, there’s still a requirement to prove continuity:
• Certified marriage certificate
• A certified dissolution of marriage/domestic partnership document with new name
NOTE: Multiple name change documents are needed if your name has changed multiple times.
Guys don’t have jump all these hoops.
California also requires your Social Security Card:
The name on your Proof of Social Security Number must match your identity document or name change document.
For example, the name on your SSN card must match the name on your marriage certificate.
and,finally, proof of residency which can be 2 of either:
utility bills/ mortgage statement/ real estate deed/ car registration/ medicalrecords/ bank statements/ income tax returns/ property tax statement.

If states set the rules for voter verification,
why must one get a Federally issued ‘real ID’?
MY state issued drivers’ license has served it’s
purpose for over 50 years. voted in every single
election since it was issued, legally operated a
motor vehicle on America’s higbways, bought booze,
cigarettes, cashed checks, even held a secret
security clearance.
States should never have issued drivers’ licenceses to
those that are not here legally.
The states created this mess, let them clean it up.
Make the illegals get a ‘REAL ID’.
Agree whole-heartedly.
For 50 years my state issued ID has been accepted
as legal definition as to who I am. I’ll not jump
through the hoops again. Make the illegals prove
who they are.
“Awesome. The complete list with electoral votes:
Alabama - 9
Alaska - 3
Arizona - 11
Arkansas - 6
Florida - 30
Georgia - 16
Idaho - 4
Indiana - 11
Iowa - 6
Kansas - 6
Kentucky - 8
Louisiana - 8
Missouri - 10
Montana - 4
Nebraska - 5
New Hampshire - 4
North Dakota - 3
Ohio - 17
Oklahoma - 7
South Carolina - 9
South Dakota - 3
Texas - 40
Utah - 6
Virginia - 13
West Virginia - 4
That’s 244 votes. We need 270. North Carolina with 16 votes would give us 260. Pennsy is 19 votes which would give us 279 and the election. Wisconsin and Michigan are in play. Also Tennessee will be in play.
SOunds like a path to 270 is realistic.
The list of states is a 92% overlap with Constitutional Carry states.
I had to present my entire life history and “ papers,please “ to the DMV despite having a license since 1976.
“They” were just issued licenses and motor-votered with NOTHING right in front of my lying eyes.
Will the supreme court take this up?
My understanding is that one of the liberal judges has oversight on this. So since illegals are near and dear to democrat’s future— no democrat judge would enable laws that would stand in the way of illegal voting.
It seems stupid to me that they can’t just look up what name the SSN was originally given to and match that to a birth certificate.
"Thank you for that. But it actually all depends on the price for the judges opinion."
It depends on Democratic and Republican Trump supporters giving him a new, Constitution-respecting Congress in November imo.
In fact, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

My understanding, and it could be wrong, was that Real ID came about as a result of 911 and the issue of knowing who was traveling on US commercial airline flights. To get passed TSA check point, you had to have a Real ID, which could be a US passport, a military ID, or a state issued Real ID. If the states wanted their drivers licenses to count as Real ID, then they had to require the necessary proof of citizenship in their application process. Even the liberal state of kalifornia has the option of drivers licenses where they have (or do not have, as appropriate) the real ID symbol on the issued license.
While Real ID was not originally brought about for voting, its certainly a good system to apply to the voter registration process for federal elections. The voter registration process is unfortunately polluted by non-citizens being allowed to vote in local elections by some local voting districts.
