The Superior Court of Arizona ordered the state’s Secretary of State Adrian Fontes on Thursday to release a list containing over 200,000 names of individuals who registered to vote without providing proof of citizenship.
America First Legal (AFL) announced their lawsuit against Fontes and the secretary of state’s office on Oct. 3, requesting the names of an estimated 218,000 people who registered to vote but did not comply with the swing state’s law of providing proof of citizenship. The law group’s senior counsel, James Rogers, called out Fontes for not “immediately” sharing the list of individuals and stated the actions taken were about “restoring transparency,” according to a press release by AFL.
