Republicans hope the conservative U.S. Supreme Court will intervene in an Arizona state election dispute.
The Republican National Committee is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in an Arizona election dispute this week and block up to 40,000 of the state's registered voters from casting ballots in the presidential race. Republican state lawmakers say these voters did not provide proof of their citizenship when they were registered and now they should be barred from from voting in person or by mail.
But in 2004, Arizona required newly registered voters to provide 'documentary proof of citizenship.' The ACLU and civil rights advocates sued to challenge that requirement. They cited estimates that more than 13 million Americans lacked access to a birth certificate or other such documents. They won in the lower courts, and the Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that the federal motor voter law preempted or overrode the state's law.
