We are confident that the evidence already shows that Prop 200's requirements that voters present documentary proof of citizenship in order to register and ID in order to vote at the polls have created undue burdens on the right to vote. Since Prop 200 was implemented, Arizona's active voter registration rolls have DROPPED by more than 56,000, (approximately two percent) while at the same time, population has increased by more than six percent!  In addition, thousands of voters who went to the polls last November were barred from voting because they were unable to provide adequate proof of identity at the polls.

The voting barriers in Prop 200 were supposedly designed to prevent non-citizens from voting and to prevent impersonation of voters at the polls. Yet the fifteen counties in Arizona have not produced a single instance of someone attempting to impersonate a voter at the polls, no instances of undocumented persons attempting to register or vote, and only a few intances of legal permanent residents erroneously registering to vote. (None of these have been prosecuted.)
We have some of the best lawyers in the country and in AZ working on this case. We expect to go to trial on the merits of the remaining claims next spring, and we will keep you posted. Thanks so much for your support!
