   'Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and   
   prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote,' Gov. Ducey   
   says   
      
   Arizona residents will now need to show proof of citizenship in   
   order to vote in a presidential election, sparking anger from   
   some activists.   
      
   "Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and   
   prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote," Gov. Doug   
   Ducey said in a letter explaining his decision to sign the bill   
   Wednesday.   
      
   The bill requires voters in presidential elections to show proof   
   of citizenship, including by providing a driver’s license or   
   tribal ID number, or a copy of a birth certificate, passport or   
   naturalization documents. The bill also requires newly   
   registered voters to show proof of address that they are an   
   Arizona resident.

   Ducey said the bill is "a balanced approach that honors   
   Arizona’s history of making voting accessible without   
   sacrificing security in our elections." It was drafted by state   
   Rep. Jake Hoffman and developed in part by the Heritage   
   Foundation to eliminate possibilities of fraud, Fox 10 reported.   
      
   "Arizonans will not have to re-register to vote. It will be   
   business as usual for 99.9% of Arizona voters," Hoffman said of   
   the bill. "This only effects a very small percentage of total   
   voters, and even then, we actually grandfathered in all of those   
   individuals who are already registered to vote that have some   
   form of proof of citizenship on file."

   FROM PLAYING GIRLS SPORTS   
      
   Republicans say roughly 31,500 voters have not shown proof of   
   citizenship.   
      
   Activists, however, fear it could affect hundreds of thousands   
   of people who have not updated their driver’s license or voter   
   registration recently.   
      
   "Arizona’s way out on a limb here," litigation director for the   
   Fair Elections Center Jon Sherman told Fox 10. "The provisions   
   in this bill are not really found anywhere in the country."   
      
   Lawyers for the state’s legislature said parts of the measure   
   are unconstitutional and are likely to be thrown out in court.   
      
   Arizona adopted a 2004 ballot measure that required voters to   
   show proof of citizenship to vote in elections. The measure was   
   challenged and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Arizona   
   could adopt its own rules on voter eligibility for state   
   elections but had to adhere to federal voter registration forms   
   for federal elections. The federal forms require voters to   
   attest they are citizens but do not have to show proof.   
      
   The ruling ultimately resulted in the 31,500 Arizonans, without   
   proof of citizenship, who can only vote in federal elections,   
   and not in state elections, according to the Arizona Secretary   
   of State’s Office.
