By a 7-2 vote (Alito and Thomas dissenting), the Supreme Court struck down Arizona’s law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in a federal election. They held that the 1993 National Voter Registration Act trumps the more restrictive state law. The federal law requires that you show I. D. like a driver’s license and sign a statement that you are a citizen.
The ruling will strike down similar laws in Georgia, Alabama, and Kansas.
Phew.
This show how much of a far right-wing extremist that Alito really is. Thomas is not a surprise.
I thought Alito was better than this. As you say, no surprise on Thomas.
