Voting rights advocates say 200,000 people could be affected by measure, which legislature’s own lawyers call unconstitutional

Arizona’s Republican governor on Wednesday signed a bill requiring voters to prove their citizenship to vote in a presidential election, drawing fierce opposition from voting rights advocates who say it risks affecting 200,000 people.The state legislature’s own lawyers say much of the measure is unconstitutional, directly contradicts a recent US supreme court decision and is likely to be thrown out in court.

Arizona is the only state that requires voters to prove their citizenship when they register, a provision adopted in a 2004 ballot measure known as Proposition 200.In a challenge to Proposition 200, the US supreme court ruled in 2013 that Arizona can adopt its own eligibility criteria for state elections but must accept a federal voter registration form for federal elections.

There is no evidence that the existence of federal-only voters has allowed non-citizens to illegally vote, but Republican skeptics have nonetheless worked aggressively to crack down.

Real wage growth requires real workplace reformThe inconvenient fact is that the federal government, the Fair Work Commission, the ACTU or the RBA cannot sustainably increase real wages without higher productivity. The inconvenient fact for big businesses is that workers cannot sustainably increase real productivity without a wage that covers basic living expenses. How about cutting obscene executive salaries and bonuses and paying the real workers out of that? so says Nine Entertainment, should we listen to them?
