The nation's highest court partially granted an emergency stay Thursday that limits Arizonans' ability to sign up to cast ballots without providing proof of citizenship. The pivotal decision could have major ramifications for the presidential race and voter registration laws in other states.
It was ultimately divided on the issue. The order notes that Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, some of the court's most conservative members, would have granted the application in full. Kagan, alongside Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied it in full.
