一 |     A move by the Department of Justice to block Arizona’s election law HB 2492, seeking to stop non-citizens from voting, has triggered an angry reaction from Mark Brnovich, currently serving as the state’s 26th Attorney General.,"In addition to free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country, the DOJ now wants to give them a chance to vote," Brnovich was cited as fuming by Fox News Digita.,As the DOJ announced on Tuesday it had formally filed the lawsuit, calling the bill a "textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act," Arizona’s AGquipped: "It's another round of Brnovich v. Biden. I will see you in court…again.",It’s another round of Brnovich v. Biden as his DOJ continues its attempts to undermine our election integrity laws. I will see you in court. Again.— Mark Brnovich (@GeneralBrnovich) July 5, 2022,“Arizona has passed a law that turns the clock back on progress by imposing unlawful and unnecessary requirements that would block eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections," said Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, in a statement.,She added that the DOJ would continue to “use every available tool to protect all Americans' right to vote and to ensure that their voices are heard.",The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division had already written to Brnovich in June to inform him the agency intended to file a lawsuit against the state over its recently enacted voting law.,The Justice Department argued this new legislation, signed in March by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, violated the National Voter Registration Act, as it requires ‘documented proof’ of citizenship, such as a government-issued identification, like a driver's license, tribal ID or passport, to vote in federal elections.,The DOJ has pointed to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to argue its case.,The Act “requires Arizona to ‘accept and use’ a completed and valid Federal Form to register qualified applicants to vote in all elections for federal office," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke stated in the letter.,"Such applicants need not provide additional documentation to prove their citizenship to be registered to vote in federal elections," she added.,‘Election Safeguards’,Mark Brnovich, however, on July 1 vowed to "defend this law to the US Supreme Court if necessary and defeat the federal government’s efforts to interfere with our state’s election safeguards, as I did last year in Brnovich v DNC," according to Fox News Digital.,GREAT win for the rule of law today. Title 42 is upheld by a federal judge.Our office will continue to do everything in our power to push back against the lawlessness of the Biden Administration. pic.twitter.com/WKQBXp6fXB— Mark Brnovich (@GeneralBrnovich) May 20, 2022,Brnovich, who is also running for the US Senate, added that it was "curious" that the DOJ "would use its resources to challenge a common sense law in Arizona designed to guard against non-citizen voting, while the Biden administration is simultaneously opening our borders to encourage a flood of illegal immigration.",He concluded by questioning whether the federal government was seeking to “undermine” the state’s sovereignty and “destabilize” the election infrastructure.,“I hope this is not your intention," Brnovich was cited as saying.,GOP Cites 'Skewed' Voting as Arizona Woman Pleads Guilty to Illegal Early Ballot Collection Scheme5 June, 13:20 GMT,The legislation recently enacted by Arizona comes as part of a push to stop non-citizens from voting.,Back in 2013, the Supreme Court rejected a bid by Arizona to require its voters to provide proof of citizenship in order to participate in federal elections. The ruling did allow the requirement for state elections.,Arizona is one of a swathe of key battleground states where Republican state lawmakers have been arguing the need for changes to voting procedures. The drive came in the wake of the November 2020 elections, which ex-president Donald Trump has repeatedly slammed as marred by voting “irregularities” that were wielded to “rig” the vote in favour of his rival – Democrat Joe Biden. He blamed manipulations involving electronic Dominion voting machines, as well as mail-in ballots in key swing states. However, state courts threw out Trump’ss complaints, citing lack of evidence.,As Gov. Doug Ducey signed the bill into law on March 30, he stated:,"Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote. H.B. 2492 is a balanced approach that honors Arizona's history of making voting accessible without sacrificing security in our elections."。    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is seeking to fight a recent subpoena to testify in a Georgia special grand jury investigation, arguing in a new filing that he never attempted to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state’s election results.,Graham’s testimony was supposed to relate to phone calls made to the Georgia Secretary of State during the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, according to the subpoena.,“Senator Graham did not inject himself into Georgia’s electoral process, and never tried to alter the outcome of any election,” reads the motion, as reported by Fox News. “The conversation was about absentee ballots and Georgia’s procedures.”,The filing took place on Tuesday in South Carolina, Graham’s home state.,Graham also claimed the federal judge’s subpoena cannot stand, as his conversations with Raffensperger and other state officials fell within the parameters of his official conduct as a US legislator.,“Senator Graham’s contact with Georgia officials referenced in the Certificate falls within the ‘legislative sphere’ because it was to gather information relevant to his oversight responsibilities as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and given his obligations under the Electoral Count Act of 1887,” the filing states.,Doxxing, Trump Pressure & Threats: Inside Four Days of January 6 Panel Public Hearings22 June, 12:06 GMT,Attorneys for the South Carolina senator argue the subpoena is “gross overreach” and “an abuse of power.”,Graham told Fox News he was simply trying to do his “day job.”,“If we open up county prosecutors being able to call every member of the Senate based on some investigation they think is good for the country, we're opening Pandora’s Box,” he told the outlet.,Graham Throws Backing Behind Biden's Pursuit of $6 Billion Deal to Modernize Turkey's F-16 Fleet4 July, 04:20 GMT,Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who announced the subpoena against Graham earlier this month, has also sought testimony from former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.,Raffensperger has already testified before the grand jury. Graham has been asked to deliver his testimony on August 2.。
