Three Arizona Republicans filed suit in federal court claiming that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes kept inaccurate voter registration numbers, meaning that hundreds of thousands of ineligible voters haven’t been removed from the statewide list.

“Based on even the most conservative data sources, Arizona has at least 500,000 registered voters on the voter rolls who should have otherwise been removed,” the 20-page lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of Arizona on May 31 reads.
