This appeals court’s ruling makes it a felony to add someone to the state’s voter rolls without proof of citizenship. We pray that temporary ruling will be upheld in September!
From Votebeat. Arizona residents who try to register to vote with the widely used state form will have their registration rejected unless they provide proof of U.S. citizenship, under a temporary ruling Thursday from a federal appeals court.
Join the conversation on The Community.
Previously, residents without citizenship documents would have been allowed to use the state form, which almost all Arizonans use, to get registered, but they could vote only in federal elections — for U.S. House, Senate and president. That’s because Arizona law requires voters to provide proof of citizenship to register, whereas federal law requires only an attestation that a voter is a citizen, but not documentation proving it. …
Thursday’s decision, by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, granted a partial stay of a lower-court ruling that struck down newer Arizona laws on federal-only voters. As long as the stay is in place, those voters can register to vote and cast ballots in federal elections only if they use a federal voter registration form, something few people currently do.
The stay will be in place until an appeals panel hears the case, currently scheduled for September. While it’s in force, a county recorder could be charged with a felony for knowingly adding a registrant using the state form to the voter rolls without proof of citizenship. …
Two 2022 laws sought to restrict federal-only voters
The case before the appeals court began when Republicans enacted two laws in 2022 that restricted how federal-only voters could participate in elections, and required frequent voter citizenship checks. Around a dozen voting rights groups sued to try to block the laws, saying they were discriminatory and violated several aspects of federal voting laws.
The U.S. District Court of Arizona ruled in May that substantial portions of the 2022 statutes did violate federal law.
Republican legislative leaders and the state Republican Party then asked the appeals court to temporarily suspend parts of that ruling. The temporary stay grants one part of that request. …
State Senate President Warren Peterson, a Republican, hailed the appeals court ruling as “a victory for election integrity in Arizona.” …

The easier we make it to CHEAT, the more we encourage FRAUD and dilute the integrity of our voting system.
Unless “We the People” have faith in not only Gods’ will, but also the rules of governance made in His name, there can be no belief in our long-established concepts of FAIR and honourable government for ALL.
Voting is a DUTY – whether or not one agrees with the points at issue or the persons named on the ballot.
There is perhaps, a sound reason for adding a “None of the Above” to all voting papers. We may then be surprised by the popularity of “None of the Above” in excluding unrepresentative persons from government !
