Arizona Voter Registration Glitch Affects Over 200,000, Compromise Eligibility Confirmed
An extensive database coding error within Arizona's Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) may have effected an additional 120,000 voters, as reported by the state Secretary of State’s Office yesterday. This additional number brings the total count of potentially impacted voters to roughly 218,000. The coding oversight, initially affecting nearly 98,000 people, did not properly confirm citizenship status, yet allowed access to the full ballot, according to statements obtained by
FOX 10 Phoenix.

Despite this large number, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has indicated that the September 20 Arizona Supreme Court ruling, which confirmed the initial group's right to vote in state and local races, should logically extend to these additional voters. As attested under penalty of law that, they are citizens, having registered long ago, the court found them exempt from blame for the system error, as reported by
AZ Family.
