Lack of citizenship documents might keep many from voting in Arizona state and local races

Nearly 100,000 voters who haven't submitted citizenship documents might be prevented from participating in Arizona's state and local elections. It's a significant number for a battleground state where races have been tight. An error in state-run databases that reclassified voters was announced Tuesday. It comes days before county election officials are required to mail ballots to uniformed and overseas voters. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says the voters should have access to the full ballot. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer disagrees. He filed a special action Tuesday in the Arizona Supreme Court asking a judge to settle the question.
