The Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP) submitted an amicus curiae brief in May supporting Trump’s Executive Order (EO) 14248 addressing election wrongdoing, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”
U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who was appointed to her position by President Bill Clinton, has already temporarily blocked part of the order requiring documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register to vote.
The AZGOP’s brief responded specifically to the proof-of-citizenship provisions in the executive order (EO). Arizona is the only state that requires DPOC to vote in state and local elections.
AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda, who leads the Voter Reference Foundation, stated in a press release, “The American people expect secure elections, not open invitations to fraud. Arizona has led the nation with proof-of-citizenship laws for two decades, and we stand firmly behind President Trump’s efforts to protect the ballot. This is about safeguarding every legal vote — and stopping those who want to dilute it.”
