| Question presented | 1. Does the National Voter Registration Act or a federal consent decree prohibit Arizona from requiring voter-registration applicants to produce "satisfactory evidence" of U.S. citizenship when registering with a state registration form? 2. Does the National Voter Registration Act prohibit Arizona from implementing a program within 90 days of a federal election to cancel the registrations of voters who are not U.S. citizens? | 1. Whether the New Hampshire Supreme Court denied meaningful judicial review under the Elections Clause and Qualifications Clauses of the U.S. Constitution, in violation of Moore v. Harper, 600 U.S. 1 (2023), by declaring N.H. Const, pt. II, art. 32 “silent” on the method of ballot counting expressly required by that provision and by disregarding its own binding precedent in Fischer v. Governor, 145 N.H. 28 (2000). 2. Whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as interpreted in Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), and Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964), is violated when a state court dismisses as a non-justiciable “generalized grievance” a qualified voter’s claim that his in-person, hand-counted ballot—cast under strict constitutional verification standards, was commingled and tabulated with hundreds of thousands of absentee and machine-counted ballots processed under materially weaker verification and transparency standards. |
| Summary | This pending case concerns Arizona laws requiring people who use the state voter-registration form to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and directing officials to cancel registrations when information confirms that a registrant is not a citizen. The Court will decide whether federal voter-registration law or a prior consent decree blocks those measures, including cancellations made within 90 days of a federal election. | Daniel Richard asks the Supreme Court to review the New Hampshire Supreme Court’s dismissal of his challenge to the State’s ballot-counting and ballot-verification practices. He argues that the state court failed to provide required judicial review of the state constitution’s election provisions and wrongly treated his claim that differing ballot procedures diluted his vote as a generalized grievance. |
