The Arizona Secretary of State's Office has been ordered by a judge to release a list of the thousands of voters affected by a "glitch" in the state's registration system. On Thursday, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge gave the secretary until Nov. 4 to release an original list of the estimated 98,000 voters affected by a coding glitch in the state's databases.
