U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona 2:22-cv-01374-GMS; For new filings, see Mi Familia Vota v. Hobbs (2:22-cv-00509)
Issue(s):
Arizona House Bill 2492 requires Arizonans using federal registration forms to provide documents proving their citizenship and requires election officials to provide the Arizona attorney general with a list of voters who do not provide satisfactory proof of citizenship for investigation. The Plaintiff argues House Bill violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments by placing and undue burden on the right to vote, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because voters will be denied an equal opportunity as other eligible voters to participate in Arizona's elections, the NVRA's requirement that states only request the minimum information necessary to register a voter, Section 8 of the NVRA by removing voter from the rolls shortly before an election and the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act because birthplace is not material to whether the applicant meets Arizona's voter qualification requirements.

Issue(s):
Whether Arizona Senate Bill 1260, which requires county recorders to cancel a voter’s registration if they receive confirmation that the voter is registered to vote in another Arizona county, creates a process to remove voters from the state’s permanent vote-by-mail list if the voter is registered in another county and makes it a felony to forward a mail-in ballot to a voter who may be registered in another state, is constitutional under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
Under Wisconsin law a voter's absentee ballot must accompanied by a witness certificate containing the witness' address, the ballot may not be counted if the address is missing. The plaintiffs ask for clarification on what constitutes "missing" and contend that partial witness addresses are not "missing".
The lawsuit challenges the WEC's new guideline that voters must their own absentee ballots without any assistance, which includes place the ballot in the mail. Plaintiffs allege violations of section 105 of the VRA, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and title 2 of the ADA.
Complaint filed with the Kentucky Boards of Elections asking for relief regarding two practices that may cause voter confusion. First, the complaint that the ballots presented on electronic voting systems look so different from printed sample ballots that voters are likely to be confused. Additionally, voter instruction cards that County Clerks and County Attorneys General are required to prepare often fail to meet the legal standard of providing voters with “instructions as to the proper method of voting by the use of the voting equipment, and instructions as to the proper method of casting a write-in vote.”

Whether the defendants violated the 15th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act in drawing Congressional districts that allegedly deprive Black voters of an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representatives of choice
U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona (2:22-cv-00509)
Issue(s):
Arizona House Bill 2492 requires new voters who use federal forms under the National Voter Registration Act to register to vote to provide proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections or to vote by mail in any election. The bill also requires voters who registered when there was not a proof of citizenship requirement to provide citizenship documentation to vote in presidential elections. The bill allows the Arizona Attorney General to investigate voters with missing citizenship statuses. Mi Familia Vota challenges the law arguing it violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments by severely burdening the right to vote and disenfranchising Arizona voters.
