As it stands, liberal Arizona voting laws have paved the way for non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
U.S. Air Force master sergeant Nick Kupper, who is one of several state legislature candidates vying for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives’ District 25. While the voting laws do not affect his run for office, he is gravely concerned about the upcoming presidential race.
“In Arizona,” Kupper said, “even if the state can’t verify whether you’re a citizen, people can still assert that they are citizens.” While these individuals are not allowed to vote in Arizona elections, they can still vote in the federal election. “They can still vote for the president,” he explained.
In an April 16 post on X, Kupper pointed out that “In 2020 Biden got 73% of the federal only votes & Trump lost AZ by 10K votes. There are now over 32K federal only voters in AZ which would give Biden 15K more votes than Trump in 2024.”

No, I’m tired and think I’m going to sleep now.
Good Night!
LOL! Me too. Good night.
Reputable sources can get things wrong.
Unreputable sources do that on purpose. It’s called “making things up”.
I’m curious to learn what tool you’re using to know when GP is trying to get things right and when they are just making stuff up.
Is it a decoder ring from a Cracker Jacks box? A Magic 8 Ball? This could be a very useful tool for the rest of us. Maybe Amazon sells one.
The question should apply to all sources of course, not just GP. The question should apply to both tools and preocedures. And the question should aply to me, YOU and to everybody else.
Where to start?
First things first.
I notice the list of possible tools that you give is limited to "decoder rings" and "Magic 8 balls". Is that a full list of tools that you use or are you desperately trying to set up a dishonest and absurd strawman fallacy?
As it stands, liberal Arizona voting laws have paved the way for non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
Arizona, as well as the rest of the States, does not authorize by law, aliens to vote in Federal elections. If any state passed such a State law, it would be null and void for violating Federal election law.

Title 16 - Elections and Electors
§ 16-121.01 - Requirements for proper registration; violation; classificationUniversal Citation: AZ Rev Stat § 16-121.01 (2022)
16-121.01. Requirements for proper registration; violation; classification
A. A person is presumed to be properly registered to vote on completion of a registration form as prescribed by section 16-152 that contains at least the name, the residence address or the location, proof of location of residence as prescribed by section 16-123, the date and place of birth and the signature or other statement of the registrant as prescribed by section 16-152, subsection A, paragraph 20 and a checkmark or other appropriate mark in the " yes" box next to the question regarding citizenship. Any application for registration, including an application on a form prescribed by the United States election assistance commission, must contain a checkmark or other appropriate mark in the "yes" box next to the question regarding citizenship as a condition of being properly registered to vote as either a voter who is eligible to vote a full ballot or a voter who is eligible to vote only with a ballot for federal offices. The completed registration form must also contain the person's Arizona driver license number, the nonoperating identification license number issued pursuant to section 28-3165, the last four digits of the person's social security number or the person's affirmation that if an Arizona driver license number, a nonoperating identification license number or the last four digits of the person's social security number is not provided, the person does not possess a valid Arizona driver or nonoperating identification license or a social security number and the person is hereby requesting that a unique identifying number be assigned by the secretary of state pursuant to section 16-152, subsection A, paragraph 12, subdivision (c). Any application that does not include all of the information required to be on the registration form pursuant to section 16-152 and any application that is not signed is incomplete, and the county recorder shall notify the applicant pursuant to section 16-134, subsection B and shall not register the voter until all of the information is returned.
B. The presumption in subsection A of this section may be rebutted only by clear and convincing evidence of any of the following:
1. That the registrant is not the person whose name appears on the register.
2. That the registrant has not resided in this state for twenty-nine days next preceding the election or other event for which the registrant's status as properly registered is in question.
3. That the registrant is not properly registered at an address permitted by section 16-121.
4. That the registrant is not a qualified registrant under section 16-101.
C. Except for a form produced by the United States election assistance commission, any application for registration shall be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of citizenship as prescribed in section 16-166, subsection F, and the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall reject any application for registration that is not accompanied by satisfactory evidence of citizenship. A county recorder or other officer in charge of elections who knowingly fails to reject an application for registration as prescribed by this subsection is guilty of a class 6 felony. The county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall send a notice to the applicant as prescribed in section 16-134, subsection B.
If the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections matches the applicant with information that the applicant is not a United States citizen, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall reject the application, notify the applicant that the application was rejected because the applicant is not a United States citizen and forward the application to the county attorney and attorney general for investigation. If the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections is unable to match the applicant with appropriate citizenship information, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall notify the applicant that the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections could not verify that the applicant is a United States citizen and that the applicant will not be qualified to vote in a presidential election or by mail with an early ballot in any election until satisfactory evidence of citizenship is provided.
F. The county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall record the efforts made to verify an applicant's citizenship status as prescribed in subsections D and E of this section. If the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections fails to attempt to verify the citizenship status of an applicant pursuant to subsections D and E of this section and the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections knowingly causes the applicant to be registered and it is later determined that the applicant was not a United States citizen at the time of registration, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections is guilty of a class 6 felony.
