CEC in the News: Fox News Highlights CEC’s Joint SCOTUS Brief Defending Arizona’s Voter Citizenship Requirements

Fox News highlighted CEC’s joint amicus brief before SCOTUS in RNC v. Mi Familia Vota with partners HEP and RITE, reporting on the election integrity organizations’ efforts to defend Arizona’s authority to require proof of citizenship for voter registration and remove improperly registered noncitizens from its voter rolls.

Statement from Lisa Dixon, CEC Executive Director, on Filing of Amicus Brief in RNC v. Mi Familia Vota

“American elections are for American citizens only. Period.

“We should all support Arizona ensuring non-citizens can’t register to vote and removing any non-citizens who end up on the voter lists. It’s the law, and it’s common sense.

“The Center for Election Confidence looks forward to the Supreme Court allowing Arizona and other states to protect the integrity of American elections.”
