Bullet points of Blackwell and Klukowski: States Should Pass Proof of Citizenship Laws to Register to Vote
- The Supreme Court has upheld the provision requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote on a state form in Arizona, but allowed a lower court to block the provisions requiring proof for presidential voting and mail-in voting.
- Five justices agree that states can require proof of citizenship to register to vote, and over 86% of Americans agree that noncitizens should not participate in U.S. elections.
- Republican governors should call their legislatures into special session to pass a requirement like Arizona's, which would make elections more secure and strengthen voter confidence.
- Conservatives should run on this issue, promising to introduce legislation in January, in states where the law does not allow calling special sessions quickly.
- The election is only two months away, and states with registration deadlines shorter than that could implement these laws quickly, starting in 2024.
- The Supreme Court's ruling suggests that requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is allowed under federal law, and lawmakers should take action to ensure election integrity.
- Arizona has required proof of citizenship to register since 2004, and other states should follow suit to prevent illegal aliens from casting votes and potentially changing the outcome of close elections.
