Episode 36 | Can States Check Voters' Citizenship?

The Supreme Court is poised to decide a major case on citizenship and voting this Term: RNC v. Mi Familia Vota.
Only citizens can vote. That is the law federally and in all 50 states. But can states check? That is the question in this case. It seems like a no-brainer that, if the law requires citizenship, a state can require documentary proof of citizenship. But the National Voter Registration Act specifies a form for federal elections that only requires voters to attest that they are citizens; it doesn't require proof. Must Arizona accept the form even for state elections? Can it ask for proof?
Your hosts — Kathryn Johnson and law professors Ilan Wurman and Joshua Kleinfeld — break down the issues and ask the bigger question as well: Why do such seemingly simple questions turn into 156-page legal labyrinths? What does that complexity say about American democracy, popular self-government, and the legal system?
This is the rational — and based — discussion of voting and citizenship that you won’t find anywhere else.
