Only US citizens can vote in US federal elections. That is a federal restriction which is not impacted by this.
This is adding an additional requirement to show proof of citizenship before even being allowed to cast a vote.
According to this, people cannot vote for local or state level issues if they do not show a passport, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship, or other such document. Pretty sure drivers licenses and state issues IDs are not proof of citizenship, so a lot of people are probably going to be surprised when they show up and are not allowed to vote for governor, state legislature, etc because they don’t have the right documentation.
This makes voting more restrictive, not less.
I think you got it backwards.
It reads really strange.
Did you click the link right there? Did you see the requirements to register to vote?
Here’s the website where it also says
A person must be a U.S. citizen in order to register and vote.
So, let’s say, somehow someone that isn’t a U.S. citizen votes in an Arizona election for a federal office, say…the president. How will that be verified?
Well, first of all, this is Arizona we’re talking about, which barely went to Biden during the 2020 election. So there are plenty of “election integrity” watchers or whatever they liken themselves to be. And, for this to be a concern, an immigrant or several, documented or otherwise, would want to jeopardize their chance in the U.S. to vote in an election at the federal level under the conspiracy-addled eye of Arizona republicans. Because if they’re undocumented, they will almost certainly be deported. If they are documented, their legal status could be stripped, and they still be deported.
And for what? To be a lone vote in a sea of 150 million to decide the presidency?
Conservatives are wild with their fears. Immigrants are both desperate to trek hundreds of miles through treacherous territory for life in the country on a hill, only to risk it all for the most insignificant method of tipping the scales in a federal election.
Your imaginary villains are irrational.
