Donald Trump has been constantly ranting about voter fraud since he lost the 2020 election.

Over the past four years , this has galvanized Republicans across the country to pass a slew of restrictive voting laws.

Even a small blip in turnout could have a significant impact in states like North Carolina , Georgia , Arizona , and Michigan .

New Hampshire would be the first state in the country to stop offering these affidavits to voters on Election Day .

The Supreme Court has previously ruled that requiring citizenship documents to vote is a violation of federal voting law.

Georgia Republicans have been on a mission to tighten voting procedures.

Michigan Democrats earned a supermajority in the state after the 2022 elections.

Supreme Court ruled last week that Arizona could ask for proof of citizenship, but only on state-created voter registration forms.

Arizona has been splitting the state’s voters into two buckets since 2013 .

The have-nots are subsequently placed on a “federal-only” list and allowed to vote in federal elections, but not state.
