PHOENIX — A federal appeals court has tossed out the claim of two Arizona Republicans active in the party that there are at least 500,000 — and possibly 1.27 million — people on voter registration rolls who shouldn’t be there.
In a new ruling, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals pointed out that Scot Mussi and Steven Gaynor have no proof there are ineligible people on the rolls.
Instead, they simply contend that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has not conducted voter roll maintenance as required by law. And they want a court order compelling him to do so.
