In an update Thursday, Fontes’ office said it has been sending county recorders throughout the state voter data “from the initial” group “with information that would enable SAVE database verification so the County Recorders can begin conducting citizenship verification.” The office told The Post it does “not comment on pending litigation.”
Fontes’ office also said efforts are underway to verify proof of citizenship with “internal and external sources” in hopes of shortening the list. The office also revised the number from roughly 218,000 to 216,000.
“We need to keep in mind that this situation happened through no fault of the impacted individual registrants,” Fontes said. “All of the Arizonans affected by this issue remain eligible voters and are long-time Arizona residents. All have attested under penalty of perjury — the same standard the rest of the country uses — that they are U.S. citizens. Had it not been for the unique burden created by the implementation of Arizona’s Prop 200 in 2004, this issue wouldn’t even exist.”
