Republicans hope the conservative U.S. Supreme Court will intervene in an Arizona state election dispute.

The Republican National Committee is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in an Arizona election dispute this week and block up to 40,000 of the state’s registered voters from casting ballots in the presidential race.

Republican state lawmakers say these voters did not provide proof of their citizenship when they were registered and now they should be barred from voting in person or by mail.

    Getting a copy of your birth certificate if you don’t already have it is a pain in the ass. I had to travel to the city where I was born (luckily only an hour away) during business hours with multiple forms of ID and pay a fee. If I needed that just to vote, I don’t know that I would have bothered

        Like 10 years ago. The first step in your link is “Contact your birth state or territory’s vital records office”, which tells me the process probably varies a lot from one state to another.

          That’s probably true, everyone should look at their own state’s guidelines and decide if it’s easy or not.
