Trump-aligned GOP group sues to get the names of 218K improperly registered voters
A conservative group run by one of former President Donald Trump’s top legal aides is suing Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes for withholding the names of the 218,000 voters who have been improperly registered to vote because of a glitch in the state’s driver’s license database.
The decades-long glitch, which was first discovered last month, resulted in some Arizonans who had gotten a driver’s license before 1996 being inaccurately labeled as having provided proof of citizenship, which is a requirement to register to vote in the Grand Canyon State.
The error in the database used by the state’s Motor Vehicles Division affects people with pre-1996 licenses who had received replacements. They had been registered to vote for decades, but were never asked to prove their citizenship because of the “data coding oversight” in the system.
The Secretary of State’s Office has said the affected voters include 79,000 Republicans, 61,000 Democrats and 76,000 listed as “other party.”
