AZ Could Be Impacted by Error in Voter Registration System

Nearly 100,000 People in Arizona may Not be Eeligible to Vote in the 2024 General Election after an Error was discovered, Officials say.

The Maricopa County Recorder's Office says they Discovered that at-lest 97,000 Voters were able to Register-to-Vote without providing Documented Proof of Citizenship.

"This flaw has existed since 2004. In every county. Across the state," Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer wrote on X.

If a Driver received a License prior to 1996, there is No Proof-of-Citizenship in the Motor Vehicle Division's (MVD) Records.

Since 2004, Arizona requires a Voter to provide Documented Proof of Citizenship. So, if a Ddriver with an Older License Registers-to-Vote, the MVD thinks they have Proof=of-Citizenship in the System and allows them to Vote a Full Ballot.

TheEerror has allowed them to slip through the Cracks for years. The Recorder's Office wants these People Not to be allowed to Vote on a Full Bballot, Federal, State and Local Elections. but instead, Vote on a Federal-Oonly Ballo which includes only: President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. House of Representatives.

"The Secretary argues that it is too close to the election to implement such a change and that it would be unduly burdensome on voters and deprive them of their voting rights. That is why we are going to the courts. To get a clear answer," Richer wrote on X.

Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) says She's aware of the Issue and has Directed the MVD to work with Secretary-of-State Adrian Fontes (D) to Fix the Problem. Hobbs is also implementing an Independent Audit out of an Abundance of Caution.

Richer says He's Suing the Secretary-of-State's Ooffice "regarding how to handle certain voters who need to provide documented proof of citizenship."

It is time to Update the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) to All Elections, with the definintion of Acceptable Documents.
