ACLU Challenges Voter Citizenship Verification in Iowa

In Iowa, a federal judge will hear an emergency request from the ACLU to stop the Iowa Secretary of State from challenging potential non-citizen voters on a controversial list, claiming it discriminates against naturalized citizens. Meanwhile, in Ohio, a judge upheld the Secretary of State's revised requirements for verifying citizenship at the polls, indicating a shift in legal standing since a 2006 ruling that protected voters' rights. In Arizona, a court ordered the release of a list of over 200,000 registered voters who did not provide proof of citizenship, responding to a lawsuit by America First Legal aimed at restoring transparency in the electoral process. Additionally, another ruling in Arizona mandated the release of nearly 100,000 voters marked as U.S. citizens without proof, emphasizing the need for verification ahead of elections. These developments highlight ongoing national debates over voter verification and election integrity.
