On Friday, despite claims by past election officials that noncitizens do not vote in Arizona elections, Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap revealed that, in fact, they have.

The truth came out while the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office was trying to confirm full ballot eligibility for 61,681 Maricopa County voters affected by the “MVD-DPOC” (Arizona Motor Vehicle Division – Documentary Proof of Citizenship) issue.
The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office conducted a review of these records using the federal SAVE database. That review confirmed U.S. citizenship and full ballot eligibility for 58,782 voters.
The Recorder’s Office assured the public that those individuals’ registrations have already been updated to ensure they are able to receive a full ballot in future elections.
However, the review also identified 137 registered voters who are not U.S. citizens. Of those, 60 individuals have voted in prior elections.
The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office is referring the identified non-citizens who have cast ballots to both the Arizona Attorney General’s Office and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for further review and any appropriate action.
“Our office extends its appreciation to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem for expanding access to the SAVE database,” the Recorder’s Office said in a press release. “We look forward to continued collaboration to ensure election integrity and that only eligible citizens participate in Maricopa County elections.
Heap’s announcement follows a visit from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Friday morning, while she campaigned for the U.S. Senate to pass the federal voter ID requirements in the Save America Act.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Save America Act this week.
OH MY GOSH!
The House passed the SAVE America Act 218-213.
This bipartisan legislation has support from 83% of Americans.

During her visit, Noem repeated the claim made by many voters that Arizona has been “an absolute disaster on elections.”

Arrest and deport them!
Wait…..I thought that the democrats told us that nothing like that ever happened. Oh, well, just one more lie the left believes and wants us to believe.
So, 61,681 MVD-suspect registered voters minus 58,782 who checked out as US citizens in the federal SAVE database leaves 2899 who are NOT in the SAVE database. But only 137 of these are definitely not citizens? Checked out how? And what’s being done to check out the other 2762? Because that’s a potentially significant percentage of not-proven-citizens on the registered voters list.
This is an excellent point and should be addressed
tip of the iceburg!
And HOW did this happen??? That’s more important than this number. This is the most significant piece of political news in AZ since McCain’s brain cancer acknowleldged (may he rot in hell). Why Heap and Noem didn’t trumpet it friday is beyond me
And the AG will do nothing with the referral of non citizen voting cases. She won because of them last time.
The AG will fight to keep those illegal Democrat voters on the rolls.
Now, how many votes came from outside Arizona? How many were registered at bogus addresses? Secretary Noem is correct. Maricopa County elections have been a national embarrassment. However, that’s the way the Maricopa Board of Supervisors want it, by their zealous guarding of the status quo.
Tip of the iceberg.
And at that rate, nationwide, Trump would have carried AZ in 2020 and Hamedah would be AG.
137/61,681=.22%. This amounts to thousands of noncitizens registered and half of those actually voting. And this was a self-selecting sample of one single county. See what Pima’s says next.
Trump’s 2020 election was decided by .3% and Lake’s by .67%. Hamadeh’s by 280 voters.
After years of lying and stonewalling Arizona Election corruption is being exposed. Voters, legitimate voters need to press for further investigations and legal actions against fraudsters and violators who voted illegally.
B…b..b.but illegals don’t vote in our elections
were they recent residents of the ‘border invasion’ that was paid for and housed by the Pima County Dump /COT – buying hotels to relocate ‘voters’ what a plan huh – huge tents – large volumes of people – room service – and warning signs of don’t park here or ELSE! move along nothing happening here… it’s where its going – COVID – the take over shots – but the stolen election – the battle for the nation. ‘We are here”
