PHOENIX – In today’s Documentary Proof of Citizenship Appeal Hearing, a panel of 9th Circuit Court judges upheld U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton’s initial ruling that elements of House Bill 2942 and House Bill 2243 were unconstitutional and, therefore, unlawful. In response, All Voting is Local Action Senior Campaign Manager Natalia Sells released the following statement:
“Since 2022, All Voting is Local Action, along with other voting rights advocates and legal groups, have spoken out against these harmful bills that targeted specific communities under the guise of election security. From their introduction, these bills raised serious concerns among voting rights advocates about potential disenfranchisement and the erosion of trust in the electoral process. Today, we celebrate the court’s decision to uphold Judge Bolton’s ruling.”
