in World News Voter Registration Citizenship Check Failure in Arizona Affected 218,000 Voters NOT The Previously Claimed 98,000
The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office announced Monday night that approximately 120,000 more voter registrations were discovered to have not been checked for citizenship, more than double the previous estimate.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a supposed error in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department’s (MVD) system caused nearly 100,000 voter registrations to be validated without properly verifying the registrants’ citizenship.
According to officials, this issue has existed for 20 years, allowing individuals who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification.
The issue was discovered on or before September 10 but not announced until September 17. Now, roughly two weeks later, we’re learning that it’s a much, much larger issue. So much for transparency!
It appears that the Secretary of State’s Office may have known the actual number of affected voters as early as last week. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda after she sounded the alarm on another election integrity issue that she was notified about on Friday, though she was provided no details.
