PHOENIX - The Biden administration is looking to sue Arizona over a new state law sponsored by a Queen Creek legislator that requires proof of citizenship to vote for president.
Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice, said she has authorized going to court over what she contends is a violation of the 1964 Voting Rights Act.
The only thing that would stop that, Clarke said in a letter to Attorney General Mark Brnovich, is if the state is willing to settle the issue, presumably by an agreement not to enforce the law.
