Supreme Court Blocks Arizona Voter ID Law

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 49•25 • Jun 18, 2013

The Supreme Court struck down a controversial Arizona law yesterday that required residents to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote, noting that the rule had kept thousands of citizens off voter rolls because they lacked passports or drivers licenses. What do you think?

“Why on earth would Arizona enact a law like that? Don’t they want everyone to vote?”

“I don’t care if you’re a citizen or not. If you can’t drive, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
