I don't want to hear any more whining from Democrats and the media about how noncitizens voting in our elections is "rare" or "not a problem".
The biggest election registration fraud in Arizona history shows that about 100,000 noncitizens were registered to vote incorrectly.
Votebeat Arizona has the story.
The eligibility of nearly 100,000 registered voters in Arizona is up in the air because of an error in state systems uncovered just before the scheduled sending of mail ballots, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes announced on Tuesday.
The state incorrectly marked these voters when they registered to vote as already having provided documented proof of U.S. citizenship, when really, it’s unclear whether they have, Fontes said.
The error stems from the way the Motor Vehicle Division provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system. The voters affected by this particular error are people who first obtained their Arizona driver’s license before October 1996 and then were issued a duplicate replacement before registering to vote sometime after 2004, according to Fontes.
Arizona’s unique laws have required proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in state and local elections since 2005. That means, if these voters have not provided the proof, they should be registered as what Arizona calls “federal only” voters and be allowed to vote only for president and Congress.
It’s unclear why no one noticed the error sooner, Fontes said, but it’s been occurring for roughly two decades and over four administrations.
Gov. Katie Hobbs, who, like Fontes, is a Democrat, says she has ordered the Motor Vehicle Division to fix the problem and is ordering “an independent audit to ensure that MVD systems are functioning as necessary to support voter registration.”
Fontes said a Maricopa County worker flagged the problem after finding a person on the county’s voter rolls who hadn’t provided proof of citizenship, but was added to the rolls as a full-ballot voter. It turned out the person had a green card and wasn’t eligible to vote at all, Fontes said.
I am nauseated.
These people might have thrown every statewide election but one in 2022. And how can we have any assurance at all that they won't be voting in 2024?
Now everyone understands why the AZ Senate fought all the way to SCOTUS to have proof of citizenship required before people can cast a ballot.
Thank God for that law. But clearly with Dems running the system, we have a problem we must fix. And to fix it, we MUST WIN.
