Phoenix, AZ – Thanks to the Arizona Legislature’s lawsuit, Arizona had a MAJOR WIN for election integrity after the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that when an individual swears on a jury form that they have moved out of the county, their voter registration MUST be canceled, strengthening list maintenance and reinforcing protections for legitimate voters. Chair Swoboda is proud to have worked on this litigation in her role with the State House of Representatives.
The ruling represents a significant defeat for Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, who was ALSO forced to abandon his extreme rule that would have allowed counties to toss out every vote cast if a canvass was submitted late, a reckless policy that jeopardized lawful ballots and undermined public confidence.
“This ruling is a major victory for our state and and for every Arizona voter,” said AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda. “Cleaner rolls protect voters. That’s the bottom line. No more dodging the law, no more loopholes, and no more games with Arizona’s voter rolls. Republicans in Arizona are fighting to ensure our elections are secure and stopping extreme leftist policies that would have thrown our elections into chaos. This is a huge step forward, but our work continues. We’ll keep working to restore trust, enforce the law, and deliver an election system every Arizonan can count on.”
