On Wednesday, The Federalist<\/a> reported that Arizona has found 100,000 non- citizens on its voting rolls.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In Arizona, voters need to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in statewide elections. Those who do not provide proof are registered as \u201cfederal-only\u201d voters, which allows them to cast a ballot only in federal elections. But the state says it discovered nearly 100,000 voters on the rolls who did not provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote but were nonetheless tagged as eligible to vote in both state and federal elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer flagged an<\/a> \u201cerroneous voter registration record\u201d to Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs on Sept. 7. A green card holder who, as a noncitizen, is legally prohibited from voting, had ended up on the voter rolls as a full-ballot voter, according to VoteBeat<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why are non-citizens being allowed to vote in federal elections?<\/p>\n

According to ballotpedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

…in 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a federal immigration enforcement bill called the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA)<\/a>. Section 611 of IIRAIRA criminalized noncitizen voting in federal elections, but the law did not explicitly prohibit noncitizens from voting in state or local elections in accordance with state constitutions and local ordinances<\/strong>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

…In 2018, North Dakota became the first of several states to ban noncitizen voting<\/a> by changing their constitutions. North Dakotans for Citizen Voting, the group that sponsored Measure 2<\/a>, supported the ballot measure in posts on its website<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federalist reports:<\/p>\n

Hobbs says her team \u201cidentified and fixed an administrative error that originated in 2004, and affects longtime residents who received a driver\u2019s license before 1996\u201d but that \u201cout of an abundance of caution, [the secretary of state\u2019s office and the motor vehicle division] will be implementing an independent audit to ensure that MVD systems are functioning as necessary to support voter registration.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One hundred thousand votes are enough to make a difference in an election. All states need to clean up their voter rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
