A state judge has ruled that Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes must produce a complete list of over 218,000 registered voters who failed to provide proof of citizenship.
According to the order issued by a judge at the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa County, Fontes must produce the list by Monday, November 4.Fontes is now required to release the voter registration data to America First Legal, the plaintiff in the case.
The massive voter registration error was first identified last month when approximately 97,000 voters were found to be listed as full-ballot voters without providing the required citizenship documentation for state elections.
If a voter cannot provide the required information, they're designated as only being allowed to cast a federal election ballot.
An additional 76,000 voters who are registered under other political parties are also affected.
The potentially erroneous registrations have raised serious concerns about both noncitizen voters casting ballots and legal voters impacted by the error being denied their right to vote.
America First Legal's court win will help ensure public transparency regarding the state's voter roll database error in the critical battleground state of Arizona.
