Judge Permits Iowa to Scrutinize Voter Registrations Amid Citizenship Concerns
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge ruled that Iowa officials can challenge the voter registrations of 2,176 individuals suspected of not being U.S. citizens, despite concerns from the ACLU that this could disenfranchise naturalized citizens. The decision comes amid ongoing debates about election integrity, with the judge citing Supreme Court guidance to avoid last-minute changes to election procedures. The ACLU expressed disappointment but noted that the ruling allows county auditors to use discretion and permits challenged voters to prove citizenship and vote regularly.
