All 15 counties in Arizona have now started reviewing and cleaning their voter rolls to remove noncitizens, including nearly 50,000 voters who registered without showing proof of U.S. citizenship.

The lawsuit was filed by America First Legal (AFL) on behalf of EZAZ.org and Yvonne Cahill, a naturalized U.S. citizen and registered voter. AFL was founded by Trump advisor Stephen Miller.

It argued that election officials were not following Arizona law, which requires proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections. Counties must also run monthly checks to confirm the citizenship status of registered voters.

As part of the settlement, Arizona counties must now work with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to verify the citizenship of voters who didn’t provide documentation when registering.

“This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans,” said James Rogers, senior counsel at AFL in a statement provided to Fox News.

Arizona currently requires proof of citizenship to vote in local or state contests, while counties must regularly check a group known as “federal-only voters.”

These are about 50,000 people who did not give proof of citizenship when they signed up. These voters cannot vote in state or local races until their citizenship is verified.
