In the US state of Arizona a few months before the presidential election a scandal is brewingreports Day.Az with reference to The Washington Post.
“Arizona Democratic leaders … learned that tens of thousands of residents had been registered to vote for decades without any record of them providing proof of citizenship required by state law,” the article said.
Problems with proof of citizenship required for voter registration were due to some kind of computer glitch. A database error has cast doubt on the citizenship status of 98,000 registered Arizona voters. However, in mid-September, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that these voters would still be able to vote in the November elections, Fox News reported on September 20.
Now Arizona Democratic leaders fear accusations against them. For example, Attorney General Chris Mayes is concerned that they will be accused of rigging the 2024 election in a “pivotal” state.
“When this becomes public, every conspiracy theorist around the world will be back to challenge the results of the last three elections, at least in Arizona,” WP also quoted Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs as saying.
