The case came about after the Maricopa County Recorder's Office uncovered a voter registration system error that allowed over 90,000 Arizona voters to register to vote without providing documented proof of citizenship. At the time the error was announced, Richer said the majority of the affected voters are most likely U.S. citizens: they just don't have documented proof.
