Summary of Blackwell and Klukowski: States Should Pass Proof of Citizenship Laws to Register to Vote
The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require proof of citizenship to register to vote, and Republican governors and lawmakers should pass such election integrity measures ahead of Election Day. The court's decision suggests that requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is allowed under federal law, and over 86% of Americans agree that noncitizens should not participate in U.S. elections. Republican governors should call special sessions to pass similar laws, which would strengthen voter confidence and election security.
