New Lawsuit Targets Every Arizona County For Allegedly Failing To Purge Voter Rolls Of Noncitizens

Conservative group America First Legal sued all 15 counties in Arizona on Tuesday for allegedly failing to purge illegal migrants and other noncitizens from their voter rolls.

The group filed an amended lawsuit against every single county in the swing state of Arizona after originally only suing Maricopa County, according to court documents obtained by the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. The Washington, D.C.-based organization is charging that county leaders are failing to follow their legal obligation to prevent noncitizens from voting in elections.

“We are taking emergency action to secure our elections,” Stephen Miller, president of America First Legal and a former senior advisor in the Trump administration, said in a statement.

“In addition to Maricopa, we are now suing 14 additional counties in Arizona for refusing to remove illegal aliens and non-citizens from their voter rolls,” Miller continued. “America First Legal will do everything in its power to fight mass illegal alien voting and foreign interference in our democracy.”

America First Legal originally sent letters to all 15 Arizona counties in July, threatening them with lawsuits unless they fulfill their legal duty to purge voter rolls of illegal migrants and other noncitizens. The group sued Maricopa County in August, alleging the Maricopa County recorder rebuffed their demand to clean the voter rolls.
