Arizona residents will now need to show proof of citizenship in order to vote in a presidential election, sparking anger from some activists.
"Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote," Gov. Dough Ducey said in a letter explaining his decision to sign the bill Wednesday.
The bill requires voters in presidential elections to show proof of citizenship, including by providing a driver’s license or tribal ID number, or a copy of a birth certificate, passport or naturalization documents. The bill also requires newly registered voters to show proof of address that they are an Arizona resident.
The usual whiners are upset that they only have two years to get their birth certificate or passport.
