Supreme Court Partially Grants GOP Request to Enforce Arizona's Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Law

The Supreme Court has partly granted the Republican National Committee's request to enforce Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voting law, allowing one provision to be enforced. The case focuses on the Republican claim of noncitizens voting, which the Biden administration challenged as violating federal law.

The law was a response to a 2013 Supreme Court ruling, and although state officials have declined to enforce it, the court's decision allows for its implementation. The 5-4 decision saw conservative justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissenting, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices in dissent.

The ruling has implications for election integrity and the rights of voters in Arizona, impacting over 41,000 potential voters in the upcoming election. The decision reflects the court's division and ongoing debates over voting requirements and accessibility in the United States.
