Half of State Attorneys General Back Arizona’s Push to Require Citizenship Proof to Vote

Nearly half of the state attorneys general in the U.S. have thrown their weight behind Arizona’s move to require U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. On Thursday, the Republican Party of Arizona announced it had filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court to back HB 2492, a law demanding proof of citizenship for ballots, even those mailed in.

You’d think ensuring only citizens vote in American elections would be a no-brainer, but apparently, it’s a concept too complex for some folks on the left. It’s almost as if they believe the Constitution is just a suggestion, like those serving sizes on cereal boxes.

‘The Constitution gives states the power to set voter qualifications, and AZ is leading the charge to ensure ONLY CITIZENS vote in our elections,’ tweeted the Arizona GOP. ‘This case has the potential to prevent non-citizen voting once and for all, which should have been the case all along.’

Attorneys general from 24 states, including Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio, supported the brief, which was spearheaded by Kansas and West Virginia. The Dhillon Law Group argued that the district court’s ruling against the law is not in line with the Constitution, asserting it is legal for states to require proof of citizenship for voting.

Constitutional Showdown: Arizona’s Bold Move

It’s refreshing to see states standing up for what should be common sense. Meanwhile, Democrats seem to think the honor system is enough to protect our elections. Because that’s worked so well for everything else, right?

‘The Court should therefore immediately stay the District Court’s injunction to the extent it interferes with Arizona’s constitutional power to choose how it appoints its presidential electors,’ wrote lead attorney Harmeet Dhillon.

The Honest Elections Project, a non-partisan group, affirmed that states have the right to demand proof of citizenship to secure their elections. They stated, ‘We believe the Supreme Court should allow Arizona’s law to go into effect and allow states to secure their own elections.’

Voter Integrity: A Conservative Priority

An emergency application for stay by the Republican National Committee highlighted voter integrity concerns, especially with the rising number of illegal immigrants. ‘There is every reason to believe this problem of non-citizen voting has gotten worse, as the number of aliens in the United States has undeniably grown.’

Let’s face it, the left’s resistance to voter ID laws is about as logical as their economic policies. They’ll argue that requiring ID to vote is “voter suppression,” but somehow requiring ID to buy cold medicine isn’t “mucus suppression.”

The urgency of this matter underscores a broader effort to safeguard the integrity of U.S. elections. As this legal battle unfolds, its outcome could set a significant precedent for how states manage their voter rolls and ensure that only eligible citizens cast ballots.

Historical Context: The Left’s Voting Shenanigans

It’s worth noting that the Democrats’ aversion to voter ID laws is nothing new. They’ve been playing fast and loose with election integrity for decades. Remember the infamous 1960 presidential election? John F. Kennedy’s narrow victory over Richard Nixon was tainted by allegations of voter fraud in Illinois and Texas, both Democratic strongholds at the time.

Fast forward to more recent times, and we’ve got the 2020 election fiasco. While the left screams “conspiracy theory” at any mention of irregularities, they conveniently forget their own hysteria following the 2016 election. Suddenly, Russian bots were hiding under every rock and behind every Trump vote. But ask for a simple ID check, and they act like you’ve suggested reinstating prohibition.

Republican Success in Securing Elections

On the flip side, Republican-led states have been making strides in election integrity. Take Georgia, for example. Despite the left’s doom-and-gloom predictions about their new voting laws suppressing turnout, the 2022 midterms saw record-breaking early voting numbers. It turns out, making it “easy to vote and hard to cheat” isn’t the democracy-killer Democrats made it out to be.

Florida, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, has also been a shining example of election integrity. Their quick and efficient handling of the 2020 election, coupled with subsequent measures to further secure the voting process, has made Florida a model for other states to follow.

Conclusion: The Fight for Fair Elections Continues

As Arizona leads the charge in requiring proof of citizenship for voting, it’s clear that the battle for election integrity is far from over. While Democrats continue to bury their heads in the sand (or perhaps in a pile of unmarked ballots), Republicans are taking concrete steps to ensure our elections remain free, fair, and limited to those who are actually, you know, American citizens.

In the end, it’s not just about winning elections; it’s about maintaining the integrity of our democratic process. And if that means enduring a few more liberal meltdowns over the apparently outrageous suggestion that voting should require at least as much identification as buying a six-pack, then so be it. After all, safeguarding our Republic is worth a few theatrical performances from the left.

As this case makes its way through the courts, one thing is certain: the fight for election integrity will continue. And with any luck, common sense will prevail, ensuring that “one person, one vote” doesn’t turn into “one non-citizen, one vote.”
