Arizona officials admitted to finding nearly 100,000 voters who had not provided proof of U.S. citizenship but still had full voting privileges as the state is facing a lawsuit for not removing non-citizens from its voter rolls. Close to 100,000 voters are incorrectly registered in Arizona as proving their U.S. citizenship, with one green card holder found registered with full voting privileges. The 20-year-old error that caused this was discovered as the state is being sued for not searching for and removing non-citizens from its voter registration lists. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) explained Tuesday that there was an error in state systems that labeled the roughly 97,000 voters as providing documented proof of U.S. citizenship, Votebeat reported.
