For Star subscribers: Rules taking effect next month create 'arbitrary' investigations into voter eligibility in Arizona, the lawsuit claims.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — A new lawsuit is challenging a state law set to take effect next month that would require county recorders to cancel the voter registration of anyone they have a"reason to believe" is not U.S. citizens.
Now he wants a federal judge to block implementation until there can be a full hearing on the constitutionality of the measure. "The implementation of this provision is vague and lacks any guidance for how a county recorder would confirm such a determination," Ducey wrote. "For Gov. Doug Ducey to veto HB 2617 on grounds of fairness and process, and then sign the next version of the bill that makes it clear that he actually meant fairness and process only as to some Arizonans — and not as to voters of color and naturalized voters — is remarkable," Makker wrote.The Free Enterprise Club is the major backer of a ballot measure which, if approved, will impose new requirements on all voters.
The Free Enterprise Club also is behind a lawsuit to quash an initiative that actually would ease some voter requirements.
