Arizona Bill Would Require Citizenship Proof To Vote

Courthouse News reports:

The Republican-controlled Arizona House voted Monday to amend and advance election reform bills that would require voters to furnish proof of citizenship upon registration and prohibit election officials from being on hand counting teams.

House Bill 2492 would require all potential voters in Arizona to present an ID at registration or within 30 days of registering to vote. Democrats see the bills as a voter suppression effort, citing previous Supreme Court rulings that similar laws are illegal.

The bills and amendments come months after Arizona Republicans contracted the firm Cyber Ninjas to audit the election results.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jake Hoffman was in the national news last month as he is one of Arizona’s fake electors. In 2020 he was banned by Twitter for running a paid teenage pro-Trump troll farm with Charlie Kirk. He last appeared on JMG when he introduced a “No Promo Homo” education bill.
