Losing GOP candidate files lawsuit claiming newly-elected Latina state rep in Arizona is not a citizenNOOR AL-SIBAI 09 NOV 2018 AT 16:45 ET
An anti-immigrant activist has filed a lawsuit challenging the citizenship of Arizona State Representative-elect Raquel Téran (D-Phoenix) but has no evidence to support the claim.
The Arizona Republic reported that Alice Novoa, a perennial GOP candidate and conspiracy theorist, filed a lawsuit against Téran in Maricopa County Superior Court the day before the general election claiming the Democrat is not qualified to hold office because she is not a legal citizen of the United States.
This is obviously upsetting, the newly-elected state representative wrote after being served papers on Thursday night, but not surprising.
Novoas suit is just another attempt to silence me and the community I fight for, Téran wrote.
The report noted that Novoa has promoted a theory claiming immigrants are involved in a secret plot to reclaim the Southwest on behalf of Mexico.

The "secret plot" noted at the end got my attention. Have done a lot of research on white supremacist groups and am familiar with which group this originates. Am now looking into Novoa to ascertain her connections with them.
