State court makes Secretary release data about voters who got wrong ballot access due to system error. Legal battle unfolds as group demands check of voter status

Last year a coding mistake in Arizonaʼs voting system gave many people wrong ballot permissions; now theres a new update about this case. The Appeals Court in Phoenix stood by the first courts decision — Adrian Fontes office must share info about these mis-labeled voters

The Secretary of States office tried to block or pause this order but didnt succeed (they wanted to keep the records private). A watchdog group started this whole thing: they filed papers to check if these people should really get full voting rights

The issue affects tens-of-thousands of Arizona residents who got mixed-up in the system due to some tech-related problems. The courtʼs ruling — which came after careful review of the situation — means officials have to be more open about this mix-up. The group that sued wants to double-check each persons voting status to make sure everything is correct and proper
