A group of 24 states has banded together to support Arizona’s efforts to uphold its voter registration proof-of-citizenship requirements.
This action follows a controversial decision by a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court on August 1, which invalidated Arizona’s law mandating proof of citizenship for federal election voting.
The ruling allows individuals to register using a state form without providing documentation of their citizenship status, raising concerns about potential voter fraud.
Arizona’s law, implemented in 2022, aimed to prevent non-citizens from voting by requiring proof of citizenship for state voter registration.
While an initial emergency stay had upheld these measures, the recent ruling is seen by many as a significant setback for election security.
“This is just another example of why the radical Ninth Circuit is the most overturned circuit in the nation,” said Senate President Warren Petersen.
“They routinely engage in judicial warfare to carry out their extremist liberal agenda that’s contrary to the laws our citizens elected us to implement. We will seek assistance from the Supreme Court to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections. If this principle is not followed, democracy as we know it, and as our Founding Fathers intended, is in jeopardy.”
The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Republican lawmakers have united in filing a brief with the Supreme Court to revive crucial provisions of Arizona’s law.
Their argument is that the lower court’s ruling undermines the rights of lawful voters and poses a threat to the integrity of electoral results.
“The RNC has an interest in having its members’ rights as voters not undermined by eleventh-hour changes to election laws,” they stated in their brief.
On Thursday, a coalition comprising 24 states and led by Kansas Attorney General Kris W. Kobach and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, submitted an amicus brief to the highest court in the country, advocating for the preservation of Arizona’s authority to implement voter integrity measures that verify the eligibility of voters as U.S. citizens.
The states that have joined the coalition to support Arizona’s proof of citizenship law in the Supreme Court are:
- Kansas
- West Virginia
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- New Hampshire
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Texas
- Utah
- Virginia
The brief asserts that Arizona has the authority to uphold its voter qualification laws, such as the requirement for proof of citizenship, without being preempted by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
The coalition maintains that the state’s constitutional right to establish voter qualifications, including the citizenship requirement, should not be superseded by federal mandates and is essential to safeguarding election integrity.
As part of its broader efforts to bolster election security, Arizona’s law prohibits individuals who cannot provide evidence of citizenship from registering to vote in state and presidential elections. It also limits mail-in voting to those whose citizenship has been verified.
These provisions were challenged in federal court, where a district judge determined that they were overridden by the NVRA.
Nevertheless, the coalition of states argues that this ruling undermines state sovereignty and their constitutional right to oversee their own elections. The brief underscores the risks associated with non-citizen voting, emphasizing that even a small number of illegal votes can influence the outcome of closely contested elections, citing the 2008 Minnesota Senate race as a compelling example.
“Voting by non-citizens, both legal and illegal, is real. The typical rejoinder is to claim that few non-citizens vote. On its own terms, though, the answer at least acknowledges that the problem persists. But it also ignores that even small voting blocs can have outsized effects on electoral outcomes. That effect is most obvious in local elections. But non-citizen voting also has national effects. Al Franken, for example, won his Senate seat in Minnesota in 2008 by 312 votes—an amount small enough that voting by aliens likely decided the election,” according to the brief.

Since Biden omics, has ripped the seat out of my financial pants pocket for over three and a half years, I am not able to do many things that was affordable to me four years ago. We have what is known as the do nothing half of the Presidency, seeking to do more damage, than a fish trying to swim in the desert sands. This country has degraded more in three years, than in it’s entire history. The Forefathers, are not turning in their graves, but wanting to come out of them. If we miss the mark, in this coming Election, America, as we have known it, will cease to exist. I see the possibility of the Country being attacked by Russia first, taking out the Electric Grid, China moving in with troops, Iran neutralizing Israel’s Power Grid, just saying…
I agree that is actually a formulated plan by our enemies and that is why according to Tucker Carlson more like 20 million illegal invaders have entered America with substantial portion being Chinese Nationals among other fanatical enemies which actually includes ISIS Terrorists that have been allowed to pour into our country through the completely open Southern Border; to be a ready combat force waiting for the green light to pounce, when our treasonous officials along with the CCP and Russian Communist Party tell them to take America down; all-out War on America!
