Arizona releases list of voters affected by citizenship-proof glitch

Summary

A group that wants checks of whether some voters are citizens got access Monday to the names of about 218,000 Arizonans who may not have provided proof of citizenship.

The state Court of Appeals in a brief order Monday rejected a bid by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to keep the list from being given to Strong Communities Foundation .

Fontes made it clear he still thinks there could be harm from releasing the names.

The issue stems from a 2004 voter-approved law that requires proof of citizenship to register and vote.

That law says proof could be verified by the registrant providing the number on an Arizona driver’s license issued after Oct. 1, 1996 .

That is the effective date of a separate law requiring proof of legal presence to get a license.

What MVD reported to county election officials wasn't always the date of the original license but instead the date someone got a duplicate license or made a change of address.
