Brought on behalf of the Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona and resident Yvonne Cahill, the legal challenge argues that the Grand Canyon State’s 15 election recorders “have failed to take the actions required by law to ensure that foreign citizens are removed from their voter rolls.” Plaintiffs are represented by America First Legal (AFL) and a law firm headed by former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright. …

Tuesday’s challenge is an “amended” version of a complaint filed against Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer early last month, according to a press release from AFL regarding the lawsuit.

Plaintiffs similarly alleged that Richer “ignored” his legally mandated obligation to “ensure” the removal of noncitizens from the locality’s voter rolls. …

The “amended” complaint adds Arizona’s 14 other county recorders as defendants in the suit.

The entire saga seemingly began in July, when AFL sent a letter “to all 15 of Arizona’s county recorders” demanding “that the recorders immediately start using existing federal law to verify the citizenship of all of Arizona’s federal-only voters.” …

Plaintiffs contest that Arizona’s 15 recorders have failed to undertake proper voter list maintenance procedures as required by law to ensure foreign nationals are removed from the rolls and the security of Arizona’s elections is upheld. …
