The Arizona Secretary of State’s Workplace introduced Monday night time that roughly 120,000 extra voter registrations had been found to haven’t been checked for citizenship, greater than double the earlier estimate.
The Gateway Pundit beforehand reported {that a} supposed error within the Arizona Motor Automobile Division’s (MVD) system induced almost 100,000 voter registrations to be validated with out correctly verifying the registrants’ citizenship.
Based on officers, this subject has existed for 20 years, permitting people who acquired a driver’s license earlier than 1996 to vote with out citizenship verification.
The difficulty was found on or earlier than September 10 however not introduced till September 17. Now, roughly two weeks later, we’re studying that it’s a a lot, a lot bigger subject. A lot for transparency!
It seems that the Secretary of State’s Workplace could have identified the precise variety of affected voters as early as final week. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda after she sounded the alarm on one other election integrity subject that she was notified about on Friday, although she was supplied no particulars.
In our dialog, Swoboda revealed the shortage of transparency from the Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, who was supposed to satisfy along with her at this time to debrief her on a difficulty. Suspiciously, the assembly was postponed on Friday till the “right time” on Monday, the identical day Runbeck Election Companies started printing ballots in Maricopa County, based on a statement.
Nonetheless, Swoboda instructed The Gateway Pundit on Monday night that she’s heard nothing however “radio silence” from Adrian Fontes. He then dropped a bombshell revealing that almost 218,000 voters had been registered in Arizona with out correct citizenship verification!
“As with the preliminary group of Arizonans, sure people had been mistakenly marked as having supplied documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) pursuant to Arizona’s Proposition 200 requiring DPOC to vote in state and native elections,” reads a press launch from the Arizona Secretary of State’s Workplace.
The entire impacted voters will nonetheless be capable to vote as deliberate in native races, however this can be a severe purple flag relating to the administration of elections in Arizona.
Even Democrat Arizona Lawyer Basic Kris Mayes, who paradoxically is criminally charging 18 conservatives for challenging the 2020 election, admitted that the entire elections over the past 20 years “are challengeable” and nervous that Republican voters and so-called election deniers are “going to be calling for a brand new election.”
Arizona Governor and former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who oversaw the rigged 2020 and 2022 elections, also said that the lacking citizenship verification validates “theories about unlawful voting in our elections.” She additionally admitted, “They’re going to be calling for brand spanking new 2020 and ’22 elections.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, Hobbs and Mayes made these statements in a September 10 telephone name with Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes that was later leaked to the Washington Put up.
The telephone name additionally revealed that the officers conspired and cooked up a bogus “pleasant lawsuit” filed by so-called Republican hatchetman Stephen Richer in his capability as Maricopa County Recorder.
The officers had been nervous they’d come beneath fireplace for eradicating the voters, who they declare are principally Republicans, from the rolls or downgrading their poll to federal races solely.
Arizona regulation permits voters who don’t present documentary proof of citizenship to vote solely in federal elections, in accordance with federal regulation.
So, they schemed to make use of Stephen Richer, a RINO, to file the lawsuit, asking that the courtroom designate the principally Republican registrants as “federal solely” voters and strip their means to vote a full poll with state and native races and poll measures.
The emergency lawsuit, filed within the State’s highest courtroom, was shortly dominated upon, and affected voters will nonetheless be allowed to vote on a full poll.
“The general public, impacted stakeholders, and the Arizona Supreme Courtroom had been misled as to the extent of the problem and its impact on Arizona’s voter registration information,” the Arizona GOP mentioned in an announcement.

PHOENIX – As we speak, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Workplace launched further details about a brand new set of roughly 120,000 Arizonans who could also be affected by a knowledge coding oversight inside ADOT’s Motor Automobile Division (MVD) and Arizona voter registration databases—people who’ve lived within the state for many years and have attested beneath penalty of perjury that they’re U.S. residents.
This information set consists of roughly 79,000 Republicans, 61,000 Democrats, and 76,000 Different Occasion (OTH), bringing the overall of impacted people to roughly 218,000.
Regardless of the evolving scenario, the Supreme Courtroom’s underlying September 20th decision about this subject stands. As with the preliminary group of Arizonans, sure people had been mistakenly marked as having supplied documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) pursuant to Arizona’s Proposition 200 requiring DPOC to vote in state and native elections.
All businesses proceed to work collectively in actual time to resolve this matter. The Arizona voter registration database now has the appropriately flagged the impacted people as needing proof of citizenship.

We will not danger denying precise residents the correct to vote resulting from an error out of their management. This subject is one other instance of why we have to fund elections, replace methods and employees, and carry ahead our confirmed custom of protected, honest and safe elections.”
Much like the initial announcement, the newly found subject pertains to misclassification of voters with a driver’s license issued earlier than 1996.
Arizona requires residents to offer DPOC to vote in state and native elections. In information shared with the secretary of state’s workplace, MVD has been classifying these people with older credentials, from whom MVD by no means collected proof of licensed presence resulting from their unique credential subject date, as having supplied DPOC.
Employees and specialists from the Secretary of State’s Workplace are persevering with to work with MVD to analyze if further voters are impacted, or if different related errors stemming from improperly coded Proposition 200 guidelines exist. We are going to proceed to maintain the general public knowledgeable of developments if and when we now have correct, confirmed info to share.
