The Arizona Supreme Court determined that almost 100,000 people whose citizenship documents had not been confirmed can vote in both local and federal elections.
The issue arose after officials found a database error that designated voters as having access to the full ballot for about 20 years. Officials from different parties disagreed about the status the voters should have, with Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes saying they should be able to cast full ballots and Republican Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer disagreeing.
