From The Hill:
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case allowing states to require proof of citizenship for those applying to vote in federal elections, effectively upholding a lower court ruling against Kansas and Arizona.
Those states wanted the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to change its registration requirements to include proof of citizenship for those applying to vote in federal elections, as the states require for those using their state forms.
By not taking the case, the Supreme Court leaves in place a November 2014 ruling from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the states cannot require the documentation for applicants using the so-called “federal form.”

As the Rev. Al Sharpton would say, "nice try, Kansas and Arizona, but we got you."
A hearty thank you to the Supreme Court justices who ruled in the majority on this. You guys have been rock stars all week.
