Controversy arose in Arizona on Friday as the state’s top court ruled that nearly 98,000 voters whose citizenship documents had not been confirmed can vote in all races.
The Arizona Supreme Court’s decision came after a “coding oversight” in the state’s election software. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) maintained that “no illegal activity” had occurred.
The ruling has sparked debate in the critical swing state, with Fox News reporting heightened scrutiny over the potential impact of these votes in the upcoming election:
The database error called into question the citizenship status of 100,000 registered Arizona voters, affecting individuals who obtained their driver’s licenses before October 1996, and subsequently received duplicates before registering to vote after 2004.
Fontes and Stephen Richer, the Republican Maricopa County recorder, disagreed on what status the voters should hold following the “coding oversight.”
“This was discovered not because somebody was voting illegally and not because somebody was attempting to vote illegally, as far as we can tell,” Fontes said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “And this was basic voter roll maintenance, and it showed us that there is this issue.”
Richer filed a special action Tuesday asking the state Supreme Court to settle the question.
Richer expressed concern over the ruling, stating on X: “It is my position that these registrants have not satisfied Arizona’s documented proof of citizenship law, and therefore can only vote a ‘FED ONLY’ ballot.”
Arizona’s proof of citizenship law requires voters to provide documentation to participate in local and state elections, adding a layer of complexity to the case.

Context here – I’m in AZ and have read a bit of the back story on this. They say the majority of those questionable voters are are Republican, Richer is a far left RINO so I don’t trust him. So this might end up a net positive.
Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) maintained that “no illegal activity”, If a Dem said this be very beware
ALL 98,000 NEED TO BE CONTACTED AND TOLD THEY NEED TO BRING PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP BY OCTOBER 15TH.!!! IF THEY DON’T, THEIR VOTING REGISTRATION WILL BE DELETED FROM THE RECORDS!!!!
It is the position of true Americans that non-citizen’s can’t legally vote in ANY US election.
That is actually the stated reason Democrats in DC are giving for opposing the SAFE act that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
is this the same state that recently had to clear one MILLION ILLEGALS OFF THEIR VOTING ROLL? if so, someone (DEMOCRAT) wants KA MA LA to get all the illegals illegal vote. say that fast three times. if you or they cant prove they are legal, DONT LET THEM VOTE. ERR ON THE SIDE OF REALITY, NOT HOPE AND CHANGE. us republicans are HOPING FOR A CHANGE in d.c. this November. we are tired of the same old same old bs. ka ma la just cut and pasted joeys platform, with a few added communist ideas. she cannot be allowed to take this country to hell. she and joey have us halfway there now. her joy and. enthusiasm cannot put groceries on your table, pay your rent, gas, etc. wait for her gigantic tax on unrealized capital gains. that is going to shove the sheep over the cliff. she has no idea what she is talking about. none. but she was raised in a middle class family, sort of line stolen from middle class Joey bribem. both are liars. her MOTHER WAS A DOCTOR AND A RESEARCH SCIENTIST WHO TRAVELED THE WORLD, AND HER DAD IS A MARXIST ACTIVIST COLLEGE PROFESSOR. HARDLY MIDDLE CLASS. JOEYS DAD OWNED TWO MANSIONS, AND JOEY HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING UNTIL DAD GOT CAUGHT BY THE FEDS. HAD TO SELL ALL TO PAY BILL. GOOGLE THIS ITS ALL ON THE WEB ON BOTH OF THEM. THEY FORGET ONCE IT IS POSTED IT STAYS FOREVER. READ HER VIDEOS ETC FROM 2016 FORWARD. SEE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT SITTING IN THE WHITEHOUSE. DONT THINK SO.
Stephen Richer seems to be a Rhino! Due to the fact that a non-citizen is NOT allowed to vote in a “Federal Election”! The Federal law says that states can decide on local and state elections regarding their states only election laws but the “Presidential Federal Elections” forbids any non-citizen of the US the right to vote. So who is Richer fooling but himself, stating that non-registered immigrants are allowed to vote in Arizona “Federal Elections only”? Read the above article! We should now look back to the 2020 election and how Arizona and Richer handled that election (was there election fraud or interference regarding those illegal policies?)! Maybe Richer does not know what the Federal Election Laws are? This should bring National Attention to Arizona! Kari Lake should know about this Richer statement!!
