Free and Fair Elections

No one could have foreseen Trumpism and the vicious attack on our nation’s American democracy it represents.  And now, even after the insurrection has been put down and its participants brought to justice, the GOP still has sufficient power to thwart the will of the American people.

That’s why this judge’s ruling in Arizona is such a big deal.

From the article linked above:

A federal judge on Thursday blocked Arizona from enforcing a 2022 state law limiting who can vote for president.

In a new ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton said Arizonans who use a federal voter registration form are entitled to cast a ballot in presidential elections. More to the point, the judge voided parts of the statute which says that only those who provide “satisfactory evidence of citizenship” can vote in those elections.

Bolton also said the state cannot enforce another provision which bars anyone who uses this federal form from voting by mail.
