The Department of Justice has never asked the State of Arizona, through my office or any other means that I'm aware of, for the regularly available voter list that is available through a public records request. What they've asked for is all of the personal identifying information that we are charged by law to keep confidential under penalty of felony conviction. Okay? We're talking about mother's last names, date and month of birth, part or whole of your Social Security number, tribal ID numbers. These are the things that we are charged to keep confidential.

CLAIM
