RNC Asks Supreme Court to Block 41,000 Arizona Voters Over Alleged Lack of Citizenship Proof

Arizona’s proof of citizenship law should remain in place in the upcoming election, the RNC argued.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) asked the Supreme Court on Aug. 19 to prevent 41,000 registered voters from voting in the November presidential election because they allegedly did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

Arizona is a hotly contested battleground that could help determine who wins the election. In 2020, President Joe Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes.
