The Spin
Republican narrative
SCOTUS must accept the argument that there are millions of illegal immigrants in the US and each one of them represents an opportunity for fraud in the upcoming election. Arizona has the right — as does every state — to set its own election qualifications, and in this case the state wants to make sure every vote cast is done by a legal US citizen.
Democratic narrative
This is nothing but an attempt by Republicans to throw the election into disarray. They want to discount the votes of thousands of people who had no reason to believe they hadn't registered properly. And even if Republicans don't win this case, they've sowed enough doubt in the integrity of the election so that they can challenge the results in bad faith if they don't agree with them.
