Court Overturns AZ Voter Registration Law

(San Francisco, California) The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the Arizona law requiring individuals to prove citizenship when registering to vote.

Arizona's Gov. Jan Brewer and Secretary of State Ken Bennett blasted the court's decision Tuesday in a joint statement.

"The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down a simple, common sense protection approved by Arizona voters requiring that all individuals provide evidence of U.S. citizenship prior to registering to vote. This decision is an outrage and a slap in the face to all Arizonans who care about the integrity of their elections," the statement said.

Ninth Circuit, heh.
