Republicans hope the conservative U.S. Supreme Court will intervene in an Arizona state election dispute.

The Republican National Committee is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in an Arizona election dispute this week and block up to 40,000 of the state’s registered voters from casting ballots in the presidential race.

Republican state lawmakers say these voters did not provide proof of their citizenship when they were registered and now they should be barred from voting in person or by mail.

    Justice Antonin Scalia spoke for the 7-2 majority and said the federal law requires states to “accept and use” the standard federal form in federal elections.

    Scalia looking like a good guy here is blowing my fucking mind. Dissents were Thomas and Alito, so we know where this is going next.

      Doesn’t even have to win. Thomas will write some treason into his dissenting opinion and the GOP fascists will run with it like it was a formal ruling.
