25 Arizona voters wrongly flagged as noncitizens regain access before midterms

With the November 3 midterm elections just days away, 25 US citizens in Arizona have regained their voting access after being wrongly identified as possible noncitizens. Their registrations were restored following a legal dispute between Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. The two sides reached an agreement through court-ordered mediation on Friday, bringing the lawsuit to an end.These people had previously voted in US elections but later found their registrations restricted because officials questioned their citizenship. Investigations eventually confirmed that they were American citizens. However, that finding did not immediately resolve the problem, as Heap's office maintained that it needed documentary evidence before allowing them to vote again.According to Arizona Mirror, the disagreement reached Maricopa County Superior Court after Mayes sought to have the affected registrations restored before the election.
