Arizona Voter Registration Glitch Affects 218,000 Citizens
A 20-year-old database error has led to a significant number of voters being misclassified, raising concerns ahead of the November elections.
- The glitch in Arizona's voter registration system has resulted in 218,000 voters being misclassified as having provided proof of citizenship.
- This error affects 5.3% of all registered voters in Arizona, with potential implications for tight state and local races, as well as ballot measures on abortion and immigration.
- The misclassified voters include roughly 79,000 Republicans, 61,000 Democrats, and 76,000 independents or other party affiliations.
- The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that these voters can cast full ballots in the upcoming election to avoid mass disenfranchisement.
- The glitch was discovered just weeks before Election Day, prompting criticism and calls for transparency from both political parties.
