Arizona Voter Database Mistakenly Flags 218,000 Citizens as Non-Citizens

In this news update, we report on a significant error discovered in the Arizona voter registration database, which mistakenly flagged 218,000 individuals as non-citizens, up from the initially reported 98,000. The error falsely marked these citizens as having provided documentary proof of citizenship, impacting a much larger number of people than previously known. The Arizona voter registration database has since corrected the issue, flagging the affected individuals appropriately. Election officials plan to contact the 218,000 Arizonans whose voting status was incorrectly marked to provide them with information regarding their status following the general election. Despite the error, the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling will remain in effect, allowing all impacted voters, including those mistakenly marked as non-citizens, to cast their ballots. This news update highlights the significance of the database error and its potential impact on the upcoming elections in Arizona.
