Statement from AG Mayes and SOS Fontes on Dismissal of DOJ’s Lawsuit Demanding Arizona’s Voter Rolls
Today, Judge Susan Brnovich rightfully dismissed the Trump Administration's lawsuit demanding Arizona hand over its statewide voter registration rolls to the federal government. That database contains the sensitive personal information of millions of Arizona voters — home addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security and driver's license numbers. But the Court was clear: Title III of the Civil Rights Act does not authorize this demand. This is now the sixth federal court to reach the same conclusion. Arizona acted correctly in refusing this request, and today's ruling vindicates that decision. Our offices will continue to defend the privacy of Arizona voters against federal overreach.
