RNC and Arizona GOP Challenge Court Decision Allowing Non-Citizens to Vote in Arizona
SUMMARY
The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Arizona Republican Party, has initiated an appeal against a federal court decision concerning Arizona's election laws. The appeal, filed on May 8th, targets the court's ruling that prevents the state from mandating documentary proof of citizenship for presidential elections or mail-in voting. The RNC and Arizona GOP assert that reinforcing measures against non-citizen participation in elections is crucial for upholding electoral integrity. The legal action follows a previous ruling by Judge Susan Bolton, which upheld two significant laws related to election integrity but struck down provisions regarding proof of citizenship and voter registration cancellation.
