RNC asks Supreme Court to keep Arizona citizenship check for voters

The Republican National Committee asked the Supreme Court on Friday to bring back an Arizona law requiring officials to verify citizenship for people who register to vote using a state-issued form.

The petition in the 2024 presidential election swing state was directed to Justice Elena Kagan, who oversees matters from Arizona. Although the law is not in effect, it requires anyone who is registered via a state form and does not show proof of citizenship before casting an initial ballot to have their vote rejected.
