A new state law requiring proof of citizenship to vote for president violates the 1964 Voting Rights Act, a notice sent the state says.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The Biden administration is planning to sue Arizona over a new state law that requires proof of citizenship to vote for president.
There is, however, no proof of that — or even that everyone who used the federal form two years ago was not a citizen but simply chose the simpler registration method. "Requirements such as these are not material to establishing a voter's eligibility to vote," she wrote."They therefore violate federal law.''
"The unsupported fear-mongering is plainly insufficient to justify the proof-of-citizenship restrictions widespread burdens," he wrote. "You don't have to have the proverbial horse leave the barn before you lock the barn," Brnovich said. Aside from the Mi Familia lawsuit, in a separate case attorney James Barton outlined his own arguments against HB 2492.
