Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes

The attorney for Secretary of State Adrian Fontes told a judge Tuesday that if he makes public the names of 218,000 voters who may not have proven citizenship ahead of Election Day that it will lead to voter intimidation.

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says 218,000 Arizonans are registered to vote but never provided the proof of citizenship legally required under a 2004 Arizona law.

The Arizona Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether close to 100,000 registered voters will be able to cast a ballot in upcoming state and local elections.

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes wants the Arizona Supreme Court to pull the plug on ongoing efforts by foes of Proposition 140 to knock it off the ballot.

Saying its too late to comply now, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes wants a judge to delay her order immediately blocking election officials from enforcing some rules about what people can do in and around polling places.
