Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

An Arizona court has ordered Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to release a list of 98,000 voters impacted by a coding error that failed to verify their citizenship. The ruling, prompted by a lawsuit from America First Legal, emphasizes transparency and adherence to public records law. Despite Fontes' concerns about potential harassment of the affected individuals, the court found no credible evidence of misuse. The voters, flagged erroneously as eligible for full ballots, represent crucial undecided individuals in a key election state. The release must occur by Nov. 4, with restrictions on further distribution.
