Arizona Court Orders Release of Voter List Lacking Citizenship Proof

A judge has mandated Arizona's Secretary of State to disclose the identities of 218,000 voters without documented citizenship proof, amid concerns of potential privacy violations.

• Judge Scott Blaney ruled that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes must release the list of voters lacking documentary proof of citizenship to the Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona.
• The issue affects 218,000 voters, stemming from an error in the state's voter registration system linked to the Motor Vehicle Division's data handling.
• Fontes argued that releasing the list could lead to harassment and violence, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims.
• The court's decision requires Fontes to provide the information by November 4, with restrictions on further distribution to protect voter privacy.
• America First Legal, representing the plaintiffs, emphasized the ruling's importance for election integrity and transparency in Arizona.
