Republicans ask Supreme Court to block 40K Arizona voters from presidential election
PHOENIX (AZFamily)— The Republican National Committee is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block about 40,000 registered voters in Arizona from casting a ballot for president in November.
The RNC wants the Supreme Court to issue an emergency ruling in the case by Thursday before counties start printing ballots.
The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office said the ruling could affect about 41,000 thousand voters, largely service members, students and Native Americans who did not have birth certificates when they registered to vote.
Less than 11,000 votes decided Arizona’s last presidential election.
The lawsuit concerns a 2022 law passed by the Republican-controlled legislature, but the case has its roots in 2004, when Arizona voters passed Proposition 200.
The law required Arizonans to show “documentary proof” of their citizenship before registering to vote.
Critics immediately argued the law conflicted with federal law, and there have been a series of legal fights since.
The National Voter Registration Act, which requires all states to register voters who complete a standardized form, is at the core of these lawsuits.
The form asks voters to swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury, but it doesn’t require them to submit proof.
After an initial round of lawsuits culminating in a Supreme Court ruling in 2013, Arizona agreed to partially register voters who complete the form without documentary proof of citizenship.
Those voters could only cast ballots in federal elections, not state or local races.
The issue remerged in 2022 after the Republican-controlled state legislature passed another law banning these “federal only” voters from casting a ballot for president or voting by mail.
Lower courts ruled against the 2022 law, but the RNC filed an appeal this month, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene.
The RNC argued federal rules cannot supersede “the Arizona Legislature’s sovereign authority to determine the qualifications of voters.”
“I think this is people trying to make sure that we trust the elections,” said GOP political strategist Chad Heywood. “The voters in Arizona have already spoken on these issues. When you put them in front of the voters, they’re overwhelming that they want proof of citizenship for people to be able to vote in any fashion.”
Attorneys for the Biden Administration urged the Supreme Court to reject the RNC’s appeal, saying, “judicial intervention at this stage would undermine the orderly administration of the election, risking the disfranchisement of thousands of voters who have already registered to vote using the federal form.”
The 2022 law has never taken effect, but the RNC argues it should.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, representing the Biden Administration, wrote that a sudden change so close to the election would result in “confusion and chaos.”

Why Milan Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be Tough Blow for Iowa State Basketball
As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to reflect on what was a strong season, one of their top players from last year is in the portal and is the best player available.
After deciding to come back to college a couple of days ago, Milan Momcilovic is now the best player in the portal and has a number of suitors looking to bring him in. Due to the large amount of money that he is expected to get, it would be a complete shock if he came back to Iowa State at this point. However, where he goes could have an impact on the program.
Last season, the junior had a breakout year and emerged as one of the best shooters in the country. While there is still work to be done to translate his game to the next level, he is an impact player in college basketball.
However, where he might go is the big decision everyone is waiting to see. Currently, it appears to be a three-horse race between the Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals. Of the three, the Cyclones certainly don’t want to see him go to one of those schools.
Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be a Tough Blow
If the star shooter for the Cyclones were to choose the Wildcats, it would be a tough blow for Iowa State. While the Cyclones had a great season this year, it was Arizona that was a thorn in their side.
The Wildcats were able to beat them both in their regular-season matchup and then again in the Big 12 tournament. The game in the Big 12 was an absolute thriller and went right down to the wire.
While Iowa State might have lost, it was Momcilovic who had a fantastic game in the showdown. Now, as the talented sharpshooter mulls his decision on where to play next year, seeing him go to Arizona would be a tough blow for the Cyclones.
This was a team that beat them twice last year, and taking one of their best players would likely result in the Wildcats being considered a better team heading into next season as well.
While Iowa State did a great job in the transfer portal and has some young talent coming back, losing the best three-point shooter in the country is a big blow. Furthermore, since Kentucky and Louisville aren’t in the Big 12, seeing Momcilovic join one of those squads wouldn’t sting or have an impact on the Cyclones nearly as much.

Arizona GOP attorney general debate turns personal with insults, name-calling
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.
