Biden Administration Sues Arizona for Requiring Voters to Show Proof of Citizenship

Arizona

On Tuesday, Biden’s Department of Justice announced a lawsuit against the state of Arizona for requiring its registered voters to show proof of their American citizenship to vote in federal elections. 

The lawsuit came in response to an election integrity bill, H.B. 2492, which was signed into law by Arizona’s Republican Governor, Doug Ducey, back in March. After the bill’s signing ceremony, Governor Ducey described the law as “a balanced approach that honors Arizona’s history of making voting accessible without sacrificing security in our elections.” In addition to ordering voters to verify their citizenship as a requirement to vote, the legislation demands that new voters show proof of their address when registering. H.B. 2492 is currently set to go into effect on January 1, 2023.

According to the lawsuit, United States v. Arizona, the Department of Justice “challenges certain provisions of HB 2492 on the basis that they violate Section 6 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” The lawsuit also wrongfully labels Arizona’s common sense election integrity measures as “unlawful and unnecessary requirements that would block eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections.” However, it should be noted that Arizona has required evidence of citizenship to vote in state elections since 2004, so Arizona voters are obviously capable of adhering to the policies outlined in H.B. 2492. 

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich responded to Biden’s lawsuit by promising to fight it. To quote Brnovich, “In addition to free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country, the DOJ now wants to give them a chance to vote. It’s another round of Brnovich v. Biden. I will once again be in court defending Arizona against the lawlessness of the Biden administration.” In 2021, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Brnovich in the Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee case. The decision upheld Arizona’s H.B. 2023 bill, which prohibited out-of-precinct voting and the detrimental practice of ballot harvesting. Brnovich’s winning record against Democrats combined with the Biden administration’s lackluster arguments in a variety of cases suggests that the lawsuit will likely fail. 

The Biden administration is more concerned with protecting illegal immigrants and their ability to possibly vote than American citizens and the security of their elections. Given the circumstances, the intentions of Biden and his Democrat allies are apparent: to bring as many new voters into the United States as possible to serve as a permanent left-wing voting bloc.

You know Americans, the Democrat/Communist/Socialist elitists are indeed profiting from the unrest, human trafficking and drugs coming across our borders! Don’t be so niave, wake up and follow the money! When the illicit money supply was threatened by the last administration, that’s what started the hate Trump campaign, their rich lifestyle was threatened!

This isn’t news, this has been going on since Clinton was in office. The only difference now is the desperation of the DNC and dark money supporters who are backing China and want to control an authoritarian socialist government in America. Stop mail-in voting in your state and require verification for absentee ballots. Keep voting in America for American citizens. The first Bill that must be passed after the mid-term election is a Citizen Voting Rights Bill. Only verified American citizens have the right to vote in any election, city, county, state and federal. This was basically started with the air travel ID requirement, which was halted by the Democrats until after the 2022 election. I have a star on my drivers license. I validated my ID and citizenship to get it and at no extra cost. Stop lying to Americans, every citizen can be verified to vote!

What is wrong with requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections? The right to vote is a right reserved only for those who ARE citizens of the US. Thank you Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Governor Doug Ducey! We need men like you who are willing to stand and fight. The Biden Administration has shown over and over again that they are more interested in a Global World Order than they are in protecting the National Sovereignty of the United States. Our founding fathers risked their lives, their liberty and their property to birth this great nation we call America. Like our founding fathers, Governor Ducey and Attorney General Brnovich are leading the way. Let’s follow!

According to Gateway Pundit Arizona will now vote to decertify the 2020 Presidential election. This is just one State and when others follow our real President will be put in office. No true President would allow the damage that is being done to our country to occur. I think Biden will be tried and convicted or treason.

Protecting illegal immigrants into own country is very important if you have plans to cheat big time on election. Saw tweet crying about Trump his past business failures.While showing a bankruptcy 4 times for the same project and the banks keep giving more money ,must really worried if you give money 4 times .Awesome Thomas Edison said” I have had over 2000 failures in my life with hundreds of winners. Failure is opportunity to succeed” Edison had over 1000 confirmed patents in his life time.Let’s get Trump back in office and help our country to return to world leader so that even the Democrats will cheer for Trump

What a joke! Is America a laughing stock over and over? And because of our Chief in Command? How can such a suit be okay, let alone by the leader who should be working for our best interests, when other suits of merit are/were tossed out? How can such a thinking be okay with any sane and law-abiding American?

  • When a voter shows up to vote at a designated voting location in their home precinct (or county) he/she should have a plastic voter ID card showing on the Card: (1) a recent dated adult photo not more than 10 years old: (2) home address verified at time of photo: (3) SSN number on card which should be verified when getting photo and at voting site when shown; (4) voter card number “ID”ing the source of the card provider. Any voter who attempts to vote with an invalid chard should be cited to immediately appear before a judge for appropriate fine/penalty for voter violation. I’m sure there are other facets of such a card that might add to ensuring that the voter is valid qualifier, but this is a pretty good start.

The Democrat Socialist Communist Party will stop at nothing to retain power. The unfortunate thing is that they have a voting block that supports every action. Some walk away and others stand-up against them. But the majority support these actions.

Abort the DSC Party.

All of a sudden RINO’s Ducey & Brnovich are coming to life, must be reelection season in AZ…
Trust nothing out of Ducey’s pie hole, bought & paid for RINO & one terrible governor, vote him OUT.
How is that secure Arizonian Mexican border along the Rio Grande going, governor?
So Y ‘all’s southern border isn’t considered a ” Southern Border Invasion ” just yet, like Texas declared supposedly?…Time for a fully armored National Guard presence at your southern border don’t you think, governor Ducey? Keep the feds out, they won’t help, they will hinder, that much I can promise you however…

Sure, that is the only way Democrats can win elections. Dems can’t win in the area of ideas. Dems can’t win pretending that they care for the American people. They can’t win on their ability to govern because they are void of any sense of right or wrong and can’t discern the difference between the two. The only way they can win is to let illegal aliens vote without requiring proof of citizenship. Please vote them out of office.

We ALL know that DICTATOR Beijing biden is a COMMUNIST and NOT an AMERICAN.
He sues EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY since he BOW’S DOWN to COMMUNIST China.
ANYTHING that’s AMERICAN,
DICTATOR Beijing biden is AGAINST.
Just look how fast he DRAINED OUR STRATEGIC OIL RESERVES SELLING REST of OUR OIL TO COMMUNIST China and CUT ALL ENERGY PRODUCTION through 2024.
And he keeps pushing to let his ILLEGAL ALIEN TERRORIST to be able to VOTE, ILLEGALLY.
Without ELECTION FRAUD like in 2020, DICTATOR Beijing biden knows that his FASCIST Party can’t win.
So, let’s sue EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING if he doesn’t get his way like a BABY, or write another ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL Executive Order.
So today’s total on ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL Executive Orders is at 527 COSTING AMERICANS OVER $526 BILLION so far and CLIMBING just like gasoline prices.

The real reason Biden opposes requiring proper ID to vote is if it had been in effect in the last election he would not be President now. It is vitally important for Democrats to keep open the many ways of cheating they used last time.

What the current administration neglects to recognize is we have had to prove citizenship to vote in State elections for over a decade & guess what – we survived! People are able to vote. The process works just fine – all Ducey did was add the Federal elections to the mix. These clowns are going down.

As a proud resident of the State of AZ, Gov Ducey has done more for this State that any other administration. He left the private sector (running a successful business) to lead our State – and has done a phenomenal job. He has brought both the American & Arizona Constitutions’ to the forefront & enacted laws governed by both. He will be missed when his term expires.

Arizona should IGNORE them like Bi-dummy did when the SCOTUS said he had to enforce stay in Mexico at the Southern Boarder. The States make their own voting laws.

It’s not a surprise that Biden objects to Arizona’s attempt to “clean up” it’s voting system. It will, at the least, eliminate some degree of vote rigging by the DemocRats! Remember to motto of the DemocRat Party …. “Cheater’s win if they are good at it!” It’s strange inconsistency that the “DemocRat” Party works so hard at being a “Communist” Party. Remember the DemocRat Party ruling passion … they seek to RULE not GOVERN.

If it is a requirement that you be US Citizen to vote and a resident of that state then requiring the information just follows the requirements just like when you get your drivers license of applying for social security.

I saw an article claiming that Tucker Carlson was racist because he pointed out this why the illegal immigrants are being allowed into this country. The liberals are near the bottom of reasons and excuses if they have to call this racist. This is not racist because it does not even mention race. It is called the “replacement” theory. I think it is good they are bringing this to light so all of the people can understand what is going on. And , again, the Federal government is wasting taxpayer money to fight the states over their constitutional rights.

 “illegal means illegal”
Not to communists, they operate on the old adage, “the ends justify the means”. Which means, if they have to break the law(constitution) to get what they want, then it is OK.
They are evil and have to be fought constantly. Evil is something that has ALWAYS been with us and always will be. IT IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!!!!!
