The document is a legal opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding the case Gonzalez v. Arizona, which addresses the constitutionality of Arizona's Proposition 200. This law requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register and identification to vote. The court ruled that Proposition 200's voter registration requirements are preempted by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which aims to simplify voter registration processes and eliminate barriers. However, the court upheld Arizona's polling place identification requirement, finding it does not constitute a poll tax under the Twenty-fourth Amendment or violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
