Forget Chicago for a minute … there's some big news coming out of Washington, D.C. Thursday. The Supreme Court has upheld an Arizona law that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. We know that it's racist to require any form of ID to vote, but welcome to Arizona.

Zach Schonfeld reports for The Hill:
The Supreme Court on Thursday partially agreed to the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) emergency request to revive an Arizona law that strengthens proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.
In a 5-4 vote, the justices reinstated Arizona’s law mandating officials reject state voter registration forms if the person did not provide proof of citizenship.
The court’s three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
