Appeals court upholds ruling blocking Arizona’s proof of citizenship provisions

Source: The Hill

“A federal appeals court upheld a previous ruling that blocked Arizona’s proof of citizenship provision for voter registration. The ruling came from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and upholds a lower court’s ruling that blocked 2022 laws signed by then-Gov. Doug Ducey (R). The court said in its ruling that the laws violated the National Voter Registration Act, the Civil Rights Act and an Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution, among other provisions. The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 over the matter, with Judge Patrick Bumatay, a Trump nominee, dissenting. It was first reported by NBC News. … State Sen. Warren Petersen (R) said online after the ruling that he would be appealing ‘yet again’ to the Supreme Court and would not stop until the proof of citizenship is upheld.” (02/27/25)
