Arizona court orders release of noncitizen voter list in Maricopa County

The Arizona Superior Court has ordered Maricopa County to release a list of noncitizens registered to vote. This decision follows a lawsuit by America First Legal, which claimed that the county was not complying with public records law. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes testified that a system error affected about 218,000 voters. He acknowledged having a partial list of 98,000 voters lacking proof of citizenship but stated that no complete list exists. The court found Fontes' testimony inconsistent and criticized the state for presenting an expert witness whose analysis lacked relevance to Arizona. The ruling comes amid ongoing concerns about voter registration accuracy in the state.
