Court Axes AZ “Proof Of Citizenship To Vote” Law

February 27, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

NBC News reports:

A federal appeals court struck down provisions in two Arizona voting laws that sought to increase proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration, saying that parts of the law amounted to “voter suppression.”

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, upholds the findings of a lower court that blocked the 2022 Arizona laws signed by then-Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican.

Conservative groups and Republican state legislators pushed the laws during the 2022 midterm elections amid false allegations of mass voting by noncitizens.

The bill’s author, Sen. Jake Hoffman, was indicted last year as one of Arizona’s fake electors. The state GOP then made him a member of the Republican National Committee.

Hoffman appeared here in 2022 for his “No Promo Homo” bill that would have banned discussions on homosexuality during public school sexual health classes.

In 2021, Hoffman was banned by Twitter for running a pro-Trump paid troll farm with Charlie Kirk.

In January 2023, Hoffman’s Arizona Freedom Caucus sued Gov. Katie Hobbs for signing an executive order expanding LGBTQ protections.

In January 2024, Hoffman appeared here for his bill that would ban “Satanic displays” from state government property.



The 9th Circuit upheld a ruling that blocked provisions of two Arizona laws demanding proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections. The three-judge panel called the challenged provisions “unlawful measures of voter suppression.”
