Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes spoke about the challenges at the polls ahead of the November 5th election. She also weighed in on the enthusiasm for the Harris-Walz campaign as they embarked on a bus tour around the swing state of Pennsylvania.
A divided Supreme Court partially granted an emergency request from the Republican National Committee to enforce an Arizona law that requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote, specifically letting the state require such proof when registering to vote using a state form. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch would have fully granted the Republican application. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have fully denied it.
Opposing the Republicans’ bid, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes told the justices that “a stay this close to an election will create chaos and confusion, and in turn undermine the credibility of our elections.” The federal government also opposed the stay, noting that “judicial intervention at this stage would undermine the orderly administration of the election, risking the disfranchisement of thousands of voters who have already registered to vote using the federal form.
