Yahoo News republished The Center Square’s coverage of Center for Election Confidence’s (CEC) amicus brief with Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) and the Honest Elections Project (HEP) in Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota (No. 25-1017), bringing additional attention to the organizations’ arguments in support of Arizona’s voter citizenship verification laws.
Yahoo’s coverage highlighted CEC Executive Director Lisa Dixon’s support for Arizona’s ability to prevent noncitizens from registering and to remove noncitizens who are improperly placed on voter lists. Dixon described those safeguards as consistent with both existing law and basic election administration, concluding: “It’s the law, and it’s common sense.”
The report also summarized the amici’s argument that the National Voter Registration Act does not prohibit Arizona from requiring documentary proof of citizenship on its state registration form and should not be read to prevent states from correcting registrations belonging to people who were never eligible to vote. The coverage underscores CEC’s request that the Supreme Court reverse the Ninth Circuit and preserve states’ authority to enforce voter qualifications.
