Honest Elections Project Action Praises Federal Court Decision Upholding Arizona Proof of Citizenship Law

Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:

“Honest Elections Project Action praises the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals for allowing Arizona to enforce state law and reject voter registration forms if applicants fail to provide proof of citizenship. While this is a step in the right direction, it is far from enough; every voter registration should be accompanied by proof of citizenship, but left-wing groups are fighting hard to make it possible for noncitizens to vote by attacking commonsense safeguards in court.

“That’s why the United States Senate should pass and the president should sign the SAVE Act. Left-wing groups have used the courts to twist federal law into a ban on requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Until Congress fixes that problem, states will be prevented from doing all they can—and should—to make sure that only American citizens vote in American elections.”
