State can block voters if they don’t use a federal registration form according to new law that will ‘cause confusion’

The US supreme court ruled Thursday that Arizona can partially enforce a new law that requires people to prove their citizenship in order to vote, but said the state cannot block them from voting for president or by mail as long as they used the federal voter registration form.

The case involved a dispute over a 2022 law that blocked Arizonans who did not show proof of citizenship from voting by mail or for president, regardless of whether they used the state’s own voter registration form or a federal form.
