In Arizona, a significant administrative error has been discovered affecting nearly 97,000 voters who may not have provided the necessary proof of U.S. citizenship, which is required for full ballot access under state law. Republican legislative leaders have filed an amicus brief urging the Arizona Supreme Court to allow these voters full access to ballots for the upcoming November election, while state officials are concerned about the implications of the error on local elections. The issue arose from a coding mistake related to older driver's licenses, predominantly impacting Republican voters. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has emphasized transparency in addressing these concerns, despite fears of conspiracy theories regarding voting fraud. Although affected voters can still vote in federal elections, they may be restricted from participating in local races and key referendums, such as one concerning abortion rights. The situation continues to unfold as state officials seek guidance on how to rectify the issue before mail-in ballots are distributed.
