Arizona Republicans ask U.S. Supreme Court to enforce proof of citizenship voting law

Republicans are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to enforce election reform laws that would prohibit Arizonans from voting for president or by mail, unless they provide proof of citizenship. Two years ago, a series of voting rights groups sued to stop the election laws passed by Republican lawmakers from going into effect, calling the legislation an effort to disenfranchise voters. The laws have been stuck in legal limbo ever since. A trial court judge partially upheld the laws in March, and the case is currently being reviewed by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
