In a brave step, Arizona is taking decisive action to enhance election integrity by initiating a thorough review to remove “any aliens on voter rolls,” possibly up to 50,000 noncitizen entries.

With all 15 counties involved, this effort aims to ensure only U.S. citizens can vote, a fundamental right often overlooked by the left.

This move is in response to growing concerns about election fraud and represents a victory for American patriots committed to safeguarding the sanctity of the vote.

The initiative involves a partnership between Arizona’s counties and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to cross-check voter registration details with citizenship records.

This collaboration comes after America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit demanding action on the issue.

In response, counties committed to reviewing voter rolls more rigorously to uphold state law requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voting.

Arizona law mandates that voters without Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC) are categorized as “federal-only” and can only vote in federal elections.

Nearly 50,000 residents registered without providing this proof, prompting the current action.

Counties are now implementing monthly checks as per Arizona law to maintain election integrity, a crucial step to prevent noncitizens from influencing state elections.

“This will help County Recorders find and remove any aliens on their voter rolls,” remarked AFL Senior Counsel James Rogers, emphasizing the significance of the rollout.

This step is necessary in a state that borders Mexico and has a substantial illegal immigrant population, estimated at 250,000.

While critics claim there is scant evidence of widespread voter fraud, Arizona’s proactive strategy counters these accusations with diligent monitoring and enforcement.

“This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans,” said Rogers, cited by Fox News.

Maricopa County, in particular, is taking a lead in this matter, contacting DHS to authenticate voter citizenship statuses.

County Recorder Justin Heap expressed optimism, stating, “Ensuring only citizens can cast a ballot in future elections is essential to restoring trust in Maricopa County elections.”

Critics argue that the new registration requirements might complicate voting for some, especially in rural areas where access to necessary documentation could be limited.

Furthermore, the Republican-led House passed the SAVE Act, which seeks to enforce federal citizenship verification for voter registration. While this measure faces hurdles in the Senate, needing bipartisan support to overcome the filibuster, it represents a significant effort to strengthen the electoral process.

Meanwhile, AFL’s lawsuit has already spurred action across Arizona, highlighting the importance of legal intervention in holding local authorities accountable.

“I promised the voters of Maricopa County that I would pursue every avenue to clean up our voter rolls,” said Justin Heap, reflecting the dedication to ensuring election integrity.

With the federal statutes allowing states to obtain citizenship information, this Arizona initiative sets a precedent for other states to follow suit, further protecting the right of “one citizen, one vote.”
