The Justice Department is investigating the Arizona voter registration efforts of three Democratic-aligned groups, according to an Axios report by Zach Buchanan.
The investigation followed an "undercover" video that purported to show volunteers willing to register non-citizens, Axios reported. The summary of the report does not say who produced the video or whether its contents have been independently verified, and it describes the footage only as purported.
Axios reported that the Justice Department announced the investigation on Friday, four days before the Nov. 3 election. The announcement came nearly a month after Arizona's registration deadline had passed, the outlet reported.
Axios wrote that the timing drew a comment from one Republican former elections official, but the available text cuts off before it states what that official said. The summary does not identify the official by name in the portion provided.
Because the available text is incomplete, this account is limited to the facts it contains. Several details remain unconfirmed here, including the names of the three groups, any response from those groups, and any statement from the Justice Department beyond the announcement itself. Axios's report is the sole source for this story, and the details above are drawn only from its title and summary.
