The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Arizona GOP leaders are requesting an emergency stay from the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a 2022 Arizona law that requires proof of citizenship for voters registering with the state form. This law, currently blocked by a lower court, could disallow 'federal-only' voters from participating in presidential elections and casting mail-in ballots. The Republicans argue that the injunction violates Arizona's sovereign authority over election qualifications and threatens the integrity of elections by allowing non-citizens to register. Critics, including Democrats and voting rights advocates, contend that this requirement disenfranchises eligible voters who may lack access to necessary documents. The court's decision is anticipated by August 22, crucial for the upcoming presidential election ballots. The ongoing legal dispute reflects broader national debates over voter registration laws and election integrity.
