Almost 98,000 people in Arizona whose citizenship papers have not been confirmed can vote in state and local races.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that almost 98,000 people whose citizenship papers have not been confirmed are allowed to vote in state and local races.
The ruling was handed down on Friday, according to the Associated Press (AP). The outlet noted that the decision came “after officials uncovered a database error that, for two decades, mistakenly designated the voters as having access to the full ballot.”
The report also said those individuals were already entitled to vote in federal races regardless of the court’s decision.
The database error highlighted the problem with those voters’ citizenship statuses, Fox News reported on Friday.
