Arizona's Democratic leaders, on a secret call, worried about a shocking discovery that, if made public, would see them accused of rigging the upcoming election and question the results of the last two.
'When this goes public, it is going to have all of the conspiracy theorists in the globe — in the world — coming back to re-litigate the past three elections, at least in Arizona,' Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs said on the call, a recording of which was obtained by The Washington Post.
As they game planned scenarios on how to respond, it became apparent it was about 100,000 Republican voters who would be affected, to the betterment of Democrats.
'If we do what you're talking about, we're talking about disenfranchising probably tens of thousands of Republican voters,' Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said.
The state leadership held the crisis call after learning tens of thousands of residents had been registered to vote for decades, even though there was no record they had provided proof of citizenship, which is required under Arizona law.
The revelation could have resulted in thousands of voters being thrown off the ballot, multiple lawsuits on the issue and many questions about the legitimacy of the results in Arizona, a key state that could decide the winner of November's presidential election.
It turns out to be a problem that had gone unaddressed for 20 years.
In 2004, Arizona passed a law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote. But, about 10 years later, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a federal law that prevented the state from requiring proof of citizenship to vote for president and other federal offices.

“Glitch” is the sound made by stepping in a big pile of pre-owned dog food.

Which benefits Trump and Lake since most of the people on the list are Republicans.
You forgot to put “Governor” in scare quotes. She’s a usurper.
If all the “glitches” all go one way, then they aren’t glitches at all but rather are criminal fraud. True mistakes would 50-50 help both parties randomly equally.
You forgot to mention that if you vote and are here illegally, you will be deported. That should be emphasized going forward.
