Arizona’s Democratic leaders were caught on a secret call expressing concern over a startling discovery that could lead to accusations of election rigging and cast doubt on the results of previous elections. Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes were recorded discussing the potential impact on Republican voters and the upcoming election. The revelation that thousands of residents had been registered to vote without providing proof of citizenship raised questions about the legitimacy of past election results in Arizona. Despite initial worries about disenfranchising voters, a solution was reached through a friendly lawsuit. The state attributed the issue to computer glitches at the division of motor vehicles, which have since been resolved. The call highlights the anxiety surrounding the upcoming election and the potential for legal challenges in battleground states like Arizona.
