Advocacy groups filed the second legal challenge in two weeks to Arizona's requirement that people show identification before voting.

An American Indian tribe and others said the requirement to show identification at polling places could keep citizens from exercising their voting rights. They also said voter registration drives were being hindered by proof-of-citizenship requirements.

The Secretary of State's office plans to defend the provisions in court and carry them out, said Kevin Tyne, a spokesman for the office.

Other groups that filed the latest lawsuit include the Hopi Tribe, Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, League of United Latin American Citizens and League of Women Voters of Arizona. A lawsuit filed on May 9 was brought by several Hispanic groups.

Damn, a lot of Republicans waste a lot of time writing on this stupid blog! They should do their jobs instead of rippin off their employers, making all their coworkers pick up the slack then going home to their gated communities and watching their flat screen tvs to see what drug addicted Rush has to say next.

Good laws aren't legally challenged.
