RNC v. Mi Familia Vote. December. Proof of citizenship. 90-day removals. Hold those four.
Arizona voter law fight reaches SCOTUS as election groups warn ‘absurd’ consequence could ensue

If the Ninth Circuit stands, Arizona cannot pull a noncitizen off the roll in the last 90 days. The count would freeze the error.
Summary
- Fox News reports the Supreme Court will hear RNC v. Mi Familia Vote in December on two Arizona laws: one removing noncitizen registrations within 90 days of an election, and one requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register.
- An amicus brief filed Thursday by the Center for Election Confidence, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, and the Honest Elections Project said affirming the Ninth Circuit would make it impossible to remove noncitizens, minors, or fictitious names, because the NVRA's 90-day quiet period lists death, conviction, mental incapacity, and a voter's request, not noncitizenship.
- The groups said citizenship is a qualification states must be able to verify, and that an attestation on a form is not proof. They pointed to reported registration errors in New Jersey, Illinois, and Oregon.
- Lisa Dixon said American elections are for American citizens only. Jason Snead said activists used the courts to twist federal law into a straitjacket. The Ninth Circuit called the Arizona laws voter suppression.
Commentary
A Phoenix night clerk still stamps a roll that should not carry a name the state already knows is not a citizen. He did not work a recount so a 90-day quiet period could freeze a fake line.
Ninety. Days. Then the count. The honest dad already paid the poll. The error paid the stay.
Look every working mother who still checks a sample ballot in the eye and answer this: if a noncitizen cannot be pulled in the last 90 days, who still owns the next roll?

I stood a poll so a citizen would be the only name. An attestation is a claim, not a passport.

NVRA quiet period lists death, conviction, incapacity, request. Not noncitizenship. Publish that gap.

Allied rolls still treat a noncitizen line as a deletion, not a guest. A freeze is a bill.

New Jersey. Illinois. Oregon. Dixon. Snead. File the five.

I still tape a precinct box at 2 a.m. I want the next fake line gone before the quiet clock.

A kid should not wait on a roll that cannot be cleaned. Keep the proof. Keep the purge.

A frozen error is a second border around the count. The first bad name should have been enough.

Fox printed December, 90 days, and the three amici. Argue those nouns.

Keep the Arizona tools. Reverse the Ninth. A citizen-only roll is the floor.
