Biden DOJ targets Arizona election integrity law with lawsuit

President Joe Biden's administration has filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona to block an election integrity law that requires voters to show proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.

The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division claims that an Arizona state law, known as H.B. 2492, is "a textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act," The Hill reports.

DOJ's lawsuit, filed Tuesday, argues that the proof of citizenship requirement to vote also violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
