选举专家警告最高法院，维持下级法院的裁决可能意味着，州选民名册上的非公民、未成年人或虚构身份人员将无法被移除。
最高法院将于12月就“共和党全国委员会诉米·法米利亚投票案”（RNC v. Mi Familia Vote）进行口头辩论，并将裁决两项亚利桑那州州法是否违反《全国选民登记法》：这两项法律分别要求在选举前90天内将非公民选民的登记信息从选民名册中移除，以及要求选民在登记投票时提供美国公民身份证明。
“公民身份是投票的资格前提。如果各州要执行这项要求，就必须能够核实选民身份，”“恢复选举诚信与信任”组织总裁兼首席执行官贾斯汀·里默在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。“当官员在选民名册上发现非公民时，他们应该能够在选举前采取行动，而非等到选举后。我们相信最高法院会认同这一点，并推翻第九巡回法院的错误裁决。”
在周四提交的一份法庭之友意见书中，选举信心中心、“恢复选举诚信与信任”组织和诚实选举项目的律师辩称，第九巡回法院裁定亚利桑那州的法律属于“选民压制”的说法十分“荒谬”，并对州权构成严重威胁。

克林顿任命的法官叫停关键选民公民身份法后引发上诉
该意见书辩称，国会可以规范联邦选举的流程，但各州拥有宪法赋予的权力设定并执行选民资格标准——如果各州无法获取验证公民身份所需的文件，或无法移除原本就没有资格登记的人员，那么这项权力将变得毫无意义。
“如果一项联邦法律禁止各州获取执行选民资格所需的信息，那么设定投票要求的权力几乎没有价值，这将引发严重的宪法疑虑，”意见书中写道。
这份法庭之友意见书反驳了第九巡回法院的结论，即亚利桑那州不能在《全国选民登记法》规定的选举前90天窗口期内，系统性地将非公民从选民名册中移除。联邦法律通常要求各州至少在联邦选举前90天完成系统性的选民除名程序，并允许在此期间因选民本人申请、死亡、刑事定罪或精神无行为能力而进行除名。

这些团体辩称，非公民身份不在上述可除名情形之列，因为这类人员从一开始就没有资格登记投票。他们表示，这项限制旨在保护符合资格的选民免受最后一刻的错误除名——而非庇护原本就没有资格登记的人员。
“如果第九巡回法院认为90天期限的程序禁止基于此类理由进行除名——因为法律只列出了少数例外情形——那么无论何时进行除名，也无论是否经过系统性调查，各州都永远无法移除属于此类范畴的不当登记人员，”意见书中写道。
“不仅如此，这些州还永远无法移除这些从未有资格投票的非公民，”意见书继续说道。
意见书援引新泽西州、伊利诺伊州和俄勒冈州报道的登记错误案例，说明各州为何需要机制来纠正所谓的不当登记。它辩称，一旦非法选票被投出并计数，便无法挽回。
国土安全部批准选民公民身份核查计划并监督邮寄选票，特朗普推动力度加大
“美国的选举只属于美国公民，仅此而已，”选举信心中心执行主任丽莎·迪克森在一份声明中表示。“我们都应该支持亚利桑那州阻止非公民登记投票，并清除最终出现在选民名单上的任何非公民。”
这些法庭之友还辩称，第九巡回法院误读了《全国选民登记法》中关于州选举官员评估选民资格所需“必要”信息的条款，以及州登记表格是否与联邦表格“等效”的规定。

意见书辩称，第九巡回法院错误地认为，选民在登记表格上的公民身份声明足以作为资格证明，并错误地将“等效”的州表格解释为与联邦表格几乎完全相同。

“再一次，极左翼活动人士利用法院将联邦法律扭曲成束缚手脚的紧身衣，阻止各州保障选举安全，”诚实选举项目执行主任杰森·斯尼德在给福克斯新闻的一份声明中表示。“诚实选举项目敦促最高法院站在亚利桑那州一边，保留各州所需的工具，确保选举仅由美国公民决定。”

Arizona voter-law fight reaches SCOTUS as election groups warn ‘absurd’ consequence could ensue

Election groups warn that affirming the Ninth Circuit ruling could make it impossible to remove noncitizens from voter rolls

DETAILS: Non-citizen BUSTED over voter registration
Federal prosecutors charge a Honduran national with voter fraud in California after he allegedly registered to vote under an alias and cast ballots in multiple elections. Fox News’ Matt Finn reports on the federal indictment details, revealing the suspect received a voter registration card using a gym membership. The case highlights ongoing debates surrounding voter identification laws.

Election experts are warning the Supreme Court that affirming a lower court’s ruling could mean that noncitizens, minors, or factitious people listed on state voter rolls could be impossible to remove.
The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in RNC v. Mi Familia Vote this December and will determine whether a pair of Arizona’s state laws which remove the registrations of noncitizen voters from voter rolls within 90 days of the election and require voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote are in violation of the National Voter Registration Act.
“Citizenship is a qualification for voting. If states are going to enforce that requirement, they have to be able to verify it,” Justin Riemer, president & CEO of Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “And when officials find noncitizens on the voter rolls, they should be able to act before an election, not after. We are confident the Supreme Court will agree and reverse the Ninth Circuit’s misguided ruling.”
In an amicus brief filed on Thursday, attorneys from Center for Election Confidence, Inc., Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, Inc., and Honest Elections Project, argued that the Ninth Circuit Court’s ruling that the Arizona laws are an act of “voter suppression”is “absurd” and raises serious threats to state rights.

CLINTON-APPOINTED JUDGE TRIGGERS APPEAL AFTER BLOCKING KEY VOTER CITIZENSHIP LAW
The brief argued that Congress may regulate the mechanics of federal elections, but states have the constitutional authority to set and enforce voter qualifications — a power they argued becomes meaningless if states cannot obtain documentation needed to verify citizenship or remove people who were never eligible to register.
“Since the power to establish voting requirements is of little value without the power to enforce those requirements, it would raise serious constitutional doubts if a federal statute precluded a State from obtaining the information necessary to enforce its voter qualifications,” the brief stated.
The amicus brief pushed back on the Ninth Circuit’s conclusion that Arizona cannot conduct a systematic program to remove noncitizens from voter rolls during the NVRA’s 90-day pre-election period. The federal law generally requires states to complete systematic voter-removal programs at least 90 days before a federal election, while allowing removals during that window for a voter’s request, death, criminal conviction or mental incapacity.
DEMOCRAT NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR SAYS THOUSANDS OF NONCITIZENS DISCOVERED ON VOTER ROLLS, PURGED

The groups argued that non-citizenship is not among those listed grounds because it concerns someone who was never eligible to register in the first place. They said the restriction is meant to protect eligible voters from erroneous last-minute removals — not to shield people who were never eligible to register.
“If the Ninth Circuit is right that the 90-day limitation on programs prohibits removal on these bases — because the statute has listed exceptions — States could never remove improperly registered individuals who fall within these categories, no matter when the removal happens or whether it is after a systematic inquiry,” the brief said.
“Not just that, but these States could never remove these noncitizens who were never eligible to vote,” the brief continued.
The brief pointed to reported registration errors in New Jersey, Illinois and Oregon as examples of why states need a mechanism to correct allegedly improper registrations. It argues that an unlawful ballot cannot be undone once cast and counted.

“American elections are for American citizens only. Period,” Lisa Dixon, executive director of the Center for Election Confidence, said in a statement. “We should all support Arizona ensuring non-citizens can’t register to vote and removing any non-citizens who end up on the voter lists.”
The amici also argued that the Ninth Circuit misread NVRA provisions governing what information is “necessary” for state election officials to assess a voter’s eligibility, and whether a state registration form is “equivalent” to the federal form.

The brief argued that the Ninth Circuit wrongly concluded a voter’s citizenship attestation on a registration form is sufficient proof of eligibility and improperly interpreted an “equivalent” state form to mean one that is virtually identical to the federal form.

“Once again, far-left activists are using the courts to twist federal law into a straitjacket that prevents states from securing their elections,” Jason Snead, executive director of Honest Elections Project, said in a statement to Fox News. “The Honest Elections Project urges the Supreme Court to side with Arizona and preserve the tools states need to ensure that elections are decided only by American citizens.”
