After Attorney Resigns, GOP Urges RNC Action as Citizenship Glitch Affects 218,000 Arizona Voters

A "citizenship glitch" in Arizona has affected 218,000 voter registrations, raising concerns about the verification of U.S. citizenship status for these voters. Jen Fifield is providing explanations on how this glitch occurred. With mail-in ballots set to be distributed in three days, Republican supporters are expressing alarm that the Republican National Committee (RNC) is not taking sufficient action to address the issue. Reports indicate that Kory Langhofer, the election integrity lawyer for the Arizona Republican Party, has resigned, leaving the party without legal representation to challenge potential election irregularities. Prominent figures are urging the RNC to send election lawyers to Arizona immediately to ensure the integrity of the upcoming election. Some Republicans believe that Arizona Democrats are attempting to register over 200,000 voters without verifying U.S. citizenship, a claim that has heightened GOP concerns. Kari Lake's potential Senate bid is perceived by some to hinge on the RNC's prompt action.
