PHOENIX — The state’s chief election official has a message for the Department of Justice: We don’t need to be reminded to comply with laws ensuring only citizens cast a ballot in Arizona.
And, no, we don’t need your help.
“Arizona has a long history of adherence to voter registration requirements,” Adrian Fontes wrote in a new letter to William Mohrman, an attorney in the agency’s Civil Rights Division. “Indeed, Arizona has required those registering to vote to provide satisfactory evidence of United States citizenship for more than two decades.”
