Arizona settles suit over handling of voter registration
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona officials announced Monday a settled lawsuit that says thousands of residents are being disenfranchised by the way the state handled voter registration applications that don't provide proof of citizenship.
The suit filed by the League of United Latin American Citizens and Arizona Students' Association against Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan and Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes.
The lawsuit claimed the state's voter registration process was unduly burdensome, as people who use a state-produced application and fail to provide proof could not vote in both state and federal elections.
Plaintiffs wanted Arizona officials to register applicants who use the state form so that they can vote in federal elections, even if they don't provide proof.
