The Supreme Court heard on Monday the case of Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, in which they were asked if the state can add requirements for voter registration beyond what is called for in federal law.
In this case, whether they can demand documentary proof of citizenship was a central issue. It’s the second case of voter rights the Court is being asked to review this term.
Host Carmen Russell-Sluchansky spoke with Ben Hovland, senior counsel for the Fair Elections Legal Network, to discuss the case.
Carmen is a multimedia journalist based in Washington, DC whose work has appeared in a variety of outlets including National Geographic, NBC News, the BBC, Asia! Magazine, The China Post, Chicago Tribune and Orlando Sentinel.
