Arizona poised to allow 218,000 with unconfirmed citizenship to vote

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is moving forward with allowing about 218,000 registered voters to participate in the 2024 election despite lingering questions about their citizenship.

The conservative group America First Legal sued to receive a list of the voters by Monday, while a Republican state lawmaker demanded the list in a letter. Fontes, an elected Democrat, resisted those calls, and now an Arizona court will hear arguments over Fontes’s decision to withhold the list on Oct. 15.
