UNITED STATES−On June 14, a completed hand count of the Maricopa County, Arizona election audit revealed approximately 100,000 ballots counted where people voted with a federal ballot. A federal ballot allows individuals who could not show proof of citizenship a chance to vote in federal elections.

On January 9, 2019, the SOS office reported 1,712 individuals used federal ballots, 899 of which were registered Democrats, 255 Republicans, and the remaining 558 were Independents or other parties. In November 2019, 65 percent of Arizona residents voted for a total 2,409,910.

There are a total of 11,409 registered voters in Arizona who may only vote in federal elections; 14 percent voted.

According to the SOS, federal ballots are seldom used and are reserved for special circumstances such as the active and deployed military.

Former Secretary of State, Ken Bennet began a dual-registration system in the state. Senator Kelly Townsend challenged the Arizona voting laws of federal ballots.

In Coliseum Observer, current Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs from May 24-June 9, noted issues with the audit each day observing that the site was not secure.

“On May 24, 2021, the external security gate was left unattended and partially open, allowing observers to walk in. It was later noted that the check-in process had changed but observers were not notified,” said Hobbs.

Black and blue pens were permitted on the floor. Individuals were sent in to repair boxes and ballots were moved. According to reports, the ballots were moved to Montana.

On May 17, GOP Chair, Kelli Ward reported to author and filmmaker, and host of the Dinesh D’Souza podcast, that Maricopa County Forensic Election information is being stored on routers, that are reportedly still in use rather than stored with the rest of the election results and information.

Ward reported that the Maricopa County Sheriff is backed by Soros, along with the Biden administration, and Democratic lawyers are attempting “to thwart an independent audit.”

On Tuesday, June 22, the Telegram reported that unless the Senate intervenes, Arizona’s forensic election audit reports will be stalled until January 2022.

According to reports, members of the Nevada GOP requested an “Arizona-Style,” election audit for their state as well.
