NextImg:BREAKING: Supreme Court partially reinstates Arizona’s new voting law – The Right Scoop

The Supreme Court just ruled that Arizona’s law that prevents voter registration without proof of citizenship is back in effect.

But they voted not to reinstate another provision that prevents someone voting for president or by mail if the voter failed to provide proof of citizenship.

Here’s more from The Hill:

The Supreme Court on Thursday partially agreed to the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) request to revive an Arizona law that strengthens proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.

The justices in a 5-4 vote reinstated a provision that mandates officials reject state voter registration forms if the person did not provide proof of citizenship.

But a majority declined the RNC’s demand to also put into effect Arizona’s separate prohibition on someone voting for president or by mail without citizenship proof, even if they applied using a federal version of the registration form.

The Biden administration argued the prohibition is preempted by federal law and cautioned the justices against reviving it, but it has not challenged the provision impacting state-level forms.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch indicated they voted to reinstate both provisions.

The court’s three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett voted to keep all of the provisions on hold.

Two names are missing from second vote, namely Kavanaugh and Roberts. We don’t know what the second vote was exactly – it could have been 6-3 or 5-4 – but do know how seven voted and Barrett is disappointing in this case.
