Voters affected by citizenship-check error can cast a full ballot, Arizona Supreme Court rules CC BY-NC-ND  — Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Arizona’s free newsletter here.Update, Sept. 30: The Secretary of State’s Office is now estimating that 218,000 Arizonans are affected by the error that misclassified voters, but says that number may not be final. The office has not yet fully explained what is causing the number to fluctuate.The 98,000 Arizona voters whose eligibility has been in limbo because of a system error that was discovered earlier this month will be allowed to vote a full ballot in November, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled Friday.These voters had been erroneously marked in the state’s system as having provided documented proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, when in reality, it is unclear whether they did so. Arizona requires such documentation in order to vote in state and local elections. Voters who are unable to provide it are added to a separate roll of “federal only” voters, and can cast ballots only in presidential and congressional races.The error had been occurring for roughly two decades before Maricopa County election officials flagged the problem earlier this month. The affected voters are all longtime residents of the state, and many have been on the rolls for years.Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, a Republican, asked the Arizona Supreme Court on Sept. 17 to determine whether the voters affected by the glitch should be permitted to vote a full ballot in this year’s election, or one with only federal races.The Arizona Supreme Court moved quickly. Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer wrote that, because it was unclear whether the voters had provided proof of citizenship in the past, counties could not legally remove them from the voter rolls. The court was especially reluctant to do so, she wrote, because of how close it is to Election Day.“We are unwilling on these facts to disenfranchise voters en masse from participating in state contests,” Timmer wrote. “Doing so is not authorized by state law and would violate principles of due process.”Fontes had been hoping that the court would rule this way.“We won,” he wrote in a social media post Friday shortly after the ruling. “No voters on ‘the list’ will be made Fed-Only. Congrats team.”While the 98,000 voters affected will not be required to provide the documentation before November’s election, they will need to provide it before future elections, the Secretary of State’s Office said Friday. County election officials will reach out to affected voters, though it’s not clear how that process will work.Richer’s office had argued the voters should be given a federal-only ballot in what both he and Fontes described as a “friendly lawsuit” meant to allow the court to settle the question as soon as possible. Saturday is the federal deadline for counties to send out ballots to military and overseas voters, and early voting in Arizona begins on Oct. 9. Maricopa County began the process of printing ballots this week.Richer, too, hailed the ruling in a social media post Friday. “Thank God,” he wrote.The state’s Republican leaders have been pushing for more thorough voter citizenship checks, but GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda said in a video she posted Tuesday that she believed it was too late to require these voters to get their documents filed before the election. She also said it would be unfair, because the voters weren’t at fault for the mistake.Swoboda said in a phone call Friday that changing the voters’ eligibility shortly before the election not only violates federal law, but also would cause mass voter confusion.Republican state legislative leaders had filed a motion in court agreeing with Fontes that these voters should be allowed to vote a full ballot.There were more Republicans on the list than independents or Democrats, according to information provided by Fontes’ office. Of the 97,928 voters on the list, 36,539 were Republican. Another 26,878 were Democrats, and the rest were not affiliated with a party or were registered with another party.The error is rooted in the way the Motor Vehicle Division provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system. The voters affected by this particular error are people who first obtained their Arizona driver’s license before October 1996 and then were issued a duplicate replacement before registering to vote sometime after 2004, according to Fontes.It’s unclear why no one noticed the error sooner, Fontes said.Jen Fifield is a reporter for Votebeat based in Arizona.

Feds sue two Wisconsin towns for failure to use accessible voting machine CC BY-NC-ND  — Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Wisconsin’s free newsletter here.Update, Oct. 7, 2024: A federal judge on Oct. 4 ordered Thornapple to use an accessible voting system in the Nov. 5 election after ruling that the town violated a federal law by not using any such system in the April and August elections. The temporary injunction authorizes Justice Department representatives to visit Thornapple’s polling place to ensure it’s complying with the ruling.The U.S. Department of Justice sued two northern Wisconsin towns on Friday for allegedly not having accessible voting equipment in the April election, seeking additional action against one of the towns as it appeared poised not to use that equipment in the November election, either.The Justice Department’s action came after officials in two Rusk County towns, Thornapple and Lawrence, voiced distrust of electronic voting equipment and later decided to ban the machines. The department additionally sued the state, which is subject to the requirements of a federal law requiring voting equipment that’s accessible to voters with disabilities in every polling place.“By failing to offer accessible voting systems, Thornapple and Lawrence shirked their responsibilities under the Help America Vote Act to provide equal access to the ballot for all voters,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement.Officials in Lawrence, a town of 300, reached an agreement with the Justice Department, pledging to provide accessible voting equipment in future elections.But Thornapple, whom the Justice Department additionally accuses of not using voting machines in the August election, either, reached no such agreement with the department. As a result, the department requested an additional court order from a federal court in western Wisconsin to require Thornapple to have accessible voting equipment in the upcoming election, which is less than seven weeks away.Thornapple, a town of over 700 people, moved to ban electronic voting machines in a June 2023 meeting after its chief election official, Suzanne Pinnow, raised “the controversial nature of electronic voting machines and the costs associated with them,” according to documents Votebeat obtained under the state’s public records law.In that discussion, Pinnow referred to a state law that she said allowed smaller municipalities to opt out of voting machines, the documents state. After that discussion, the town board banned voting machines.To date, the town hasn’t taken any action to reverse that vote, the Justice Department alleges.Wisconsin municipalities with a population of under 7,500 people don’t have to follow the state law requiring use of electronic voting equipment, including computerized tabulators that are used to scan ballots and tally votes. But in suing the towns, the Justice Department cited federal law requiring them to have “at least one direct recording electronic voting system or other voting system equipped for individuals with disabilities at each polling place.”Direct-recording electronic voting systems are voting machines with touchscreens, buttons, or dials allowing voters to select candidates directly on the machine. They have headphones that allow voters to hear as well as see the ballot options.In early 2023, one month before a February primary election, the Lawrence board decided the town “will not be turning on the voting machine,” the complaint states. It didn’t have accessible voting equipment in the April 2024 election, the Justice Department alleges.The agreement that town officials reached with the Justice Department requires town board members and the clerk to receive training on implementing accessible voting equipment for all future elections. It also requires town officials to allow Justice Department compliance officers to verify that Lawrence polling places have accessible voting equipment.It’s unclear why the Justice Department reached an agreement with Lawrence but not Thornapple. Pinnow didn’t respond to a request for comment, and she refused to speak with a Votebeat reporter who went to Thornapple in September.“No one is going to talk to you,” she said in a text message, saying a Votebeat reporter would only hear “a lot of speculative gossip!”In a call with a town resident in April, a Thornapple board member Jack Zupan said he believed there was a stolen election and that “computers have to go because they’re full of error.”Zupan, who didn’t respond to a request for comment, said hand-counted ballots are more accurate than using voting machines because, he claimed baselessly that a communist could stick a pen into a machine to manipulate the results.Pinnow previously questioned whether the Justice Department would really go after Thornapple“Do you think perhaps they’re going to use Thornapple,” she asked a Votebeat reporter in August, “because we are a tiny little place, as precedent to reflect back on and say, ‘Look, we forced them’?”Alexander Shur is a reporter for Votebeat based in Wisconsin.
