The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Friday that roughly 98,000 Arizonans whose voter registration status was in limbo will be able to participate in the full ballot in November. “We deeply appreciate the Arizona Supreme Court for their prompt and just resolution,” Fontes added. In 2005, Arizona state law required documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. “Thank you Arizona Supreme Court for your extremely quick and professional review of this matter,’ Richer added. "We’re very grateful to the state Supreme Court for protecting the voices of almost 98,000 voters who were in danger of being disenfranchised in this election,” she added.

Window Rock, Arizona CNN —Nearing the end of the annual Navajo Nation parade route last Saturday, the Arizona Republican Party’s float — pulled by an 18-wheeler and adorned with Trump-Vance campaign signs — came to a halt. The Navajo Nation makes up the largest tribe in Arizona, with about 131,000 members, according to the US Census. A Marine veteran, Gallego said his ties to the Navajo Nation stem from his military veteran friends from the tribe. “I believe we have many strong, educated women, especially on the Navajo Nation. “Not everybody wants to help the Indigenous.”Her remote part of the Navajo Nation rarely gets visitors, let alone campaigns knocking on her door.

PHOENIX (AP) — Gina Swoboda, an election activist endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has been chosen as the next chair of the Arizona Republican Party, a leadership post that puts her center stage in the battleground state for November's presidential election. Fox10 television in Phoenix reported that Swoboda garnered 67% of the votes at Saturday's state party meeting. Swoboda is a former employee of the Arizona Secretary of State’s office and was the election day director of operations for Trump in 2020. She has been working for the Arizona Senate as a senior adviser on elections. “Gina understands that the White House and Senate Majority —and frankly, the survival of our Republic — runs through State 48.”

☆ Arizona G.O.P. Picks New Leader After Scandal Creates a Vacancy

Arizona Republicans chose a new party chair on Saturday, a move that tightened the grip on the state party hierarchy by far-right supporters of former President Donald J. Trump and that came days after a scandal that forced the last chairman to resign. Ms. Swoboda, whom Mr. Trump endorsed on Friday, won an overwhelming majority of votes in an election of state party officials held at the party’s required annual meeting in Phoenix. The vote was delayed by a lengthy debate over a motion to ban the use of electronic tabulators — mistrusted by many election deniers in the party — to count the ballots. Kari Lake, a far-right candidate for U.S. Senate and close ally of Mr. Trump who had a central role in Mr. DeWit’s fall, took to the stage on Saturday to nominate Ms. Swoboda. But she was met with a din of boos and heckling from the crowd, an apparent rebuff to her involvement in the scandal.
