The Salvation Army, for example, which feeds around 6, 000 hungry Russians every month in the winter, has had to waste tens of thousands of dollars in legal fights overregistration, and the Catholic church has had trouble getting visas for its foreign clergy.
This case focuses on voter registration in Arizona, which has tangled frequently with the federal government over immigration issues involving the Mexican border.
In recent years it has been involved in controversy over issues such as whether registration of Native American sports team names (Washington Redskins) is offensive to the public good, or a good and permissible defensive strategy by the NFL and the team.
In January this year, the Health Select Committee also expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding the registration as safety complaint of Morecambe Bay, and the CQC has hired consultants at Grant Thornton to investigate allegations of a cover-up.
