Trump courts Jewish voters, Harris to join Oprah Winfrey in appearance

Swoboda, an “elections nerd,” emphasized the importance of public oversight of voter rolls to prevent disenfranchisement. Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer filed a lawsuit at the state Supreme Court seeking to bar nearly 100,000 residents from voting based on an Arizona election law requiring documents verifying citizenship for state and local elections. The Arizona GOP countered with an amicus brief arguing that this would violate state and federal law, including the National Voter Registration Act. They contended that removing voters based on clerical errors would infringe upon due process and the Constitution. Swoboda echoed these sentiments, stating that disenfranchising voters so close to an election could undermine confidence in the electoral process. She stressed that any changes to voter registration should be handled carefully and in accordance with laws to ensure fairness and integrity in elections. Ultimately, the debate highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral system to uphold the democratic right to vote.
