Maricopa County report reveals thousands of ballots in 2020 didn’t have proof of citizenship
Naturally, her supporters are led to believe that hordes of non-citizens voted for her opponent, Katie Hobbs.
But why no proof of citizenship? That's because voters are not asked to prove their citizenship.
Federal law requires only that you affirm, under the penalty of perjury, that you're a U.S. citizen. You don't have bring or provide proof you are a US citizen to vote in federal elections.
The Brennan Center for Justice, citing several studies, estimates that 5% to 7% of Americans don’t have the most common types of documents used to prove citizenship: a passport or birth certificate. Some of them are Native Americans or others born outside of hospitals. Others are low-income citizens who likely don’t have the inclination or the disposable income to go chasing down those long-lost documents.
