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.
