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.

It is voter suppression.
We are trying to suppress illegal voters/voting.
The 9th circuit is trying to encourage illegal voters/voting
I’m guessing this ruling will stand because the new Dem Governor and AG that used Illegal Alien voters to steal their elections will now decide NOT to appeal to the SC.
It WAS intended to discriminate.....
Discriminate against illegal alien invaders voting in elections in which only citizens of the United States of America are legally allowed to vote.
Stupid damned 'courts', stupid, evil damned 'judges'. Black-Robed Judiciarchs.
Dang, you beat me to it.
I’m 40 minutes late.
The 9th circus fags again. Geez. Who finds these guys?
Libtard insanity at it’s finest.
I’m starting to think that the federal judiciary is the biggest threat to our republic.....
Yup. Suppression of non-citizen voters.
“...sent one of the laws back to the district court to reconsider whether it was enacted with the intention to discriminate.

Stupid damned ‘courts’, stupid, evil damned ‘judges’. Black-Robed Judiciarchs.

The 9th Circuit is sending the case back to the District to establish a trial record on whatever the disputed facts are. That’s the only way the Supreme Court will ever have a chance to actually rule on the merits of these cases.
We have to lose at the trial and appellate courts to get our cases in front of the Supreme Court on anything by pretrial motions.
That is exactly what they think.
The racism of low expectations. I hope the left finally chokes on it, because my non white countrymen finally realise it. The left deals in colors. The right deals in ideals. Yes, it is that simple.
Nice pithy way of putting it!
Ty. I try to have a moment once in a while. I blame it on being able to read. And comprehend. It’s the number one reason i have always loved FR. Even being a noob.
“intention to discriminate”
HELL YES IT WAS. To discriminate against NON CITIZENS from voting.
The Real ID Act was passed in 2005. TWENTY YEARS ago! All states now can issue Real ID driver’s licenses.
Real ID or a passport will be required for air travel starting May 2025. Are we about to discriminate against Latino and minority travelers?
Wait until a real ID is required nationwide to vote. The licenses issued to illegals are not Real ID compliant and cannot be used for air travel.
EC
Voter suppression is what it’s all about illegals voting.
The bill would be passed if it weren’t for those on the take.
And they did this intentionally to drag this out to mid terms. They are in collusion to run illegal voting.
Good! Challenge it in front of the Supremes and let them make a ruling that has legal effect in all 50 states. Make the Law of Arizona in this matter the Law of the Land.
That's like saying, "You must wear a dress because your mother said 'Get dressed.' even though you are a boy."
The entire point is to suppress voting by illegals.
Yep. The most reversed appellate court in the federal system.
