Kentucky legal actions regarding election integrity

Overview

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has joined a group of 25 state attorneys general in submitting a legal brief to the U.S. Supreme Court. The brief seeks to uphold state authority to require proof of citizenship for voting and to allow for the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls within 90 days of an election.

The legal action aims to overturn a lower court decision regarding an Arizona law and challenges rulings related to the National Voter Registration Act. Coleman cited a 2024 Kentucky constitutional amendment that bars non-citizens from voting in state elections, arguing that the current legal challenges threaten state sovereignty over election integrity.
