After concerns arose last year over the numbers of noncitizens on Arizona’s voter rolls, Governor Katie Hobbs ordered an audit to determine why there were so many.
The audit, which was released last week, examined the problems that arose at the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) within the Arizona Department of Transportation, which offers “motor voter” automatic voter registration to Arizonans conducting driving-related transactions. The audit investigated a “glitch” allowing over 200,000 voters who did not show documented proof of citizenship (DPOC) before 1996 and found another glitch allowing U.S. nationals to register to vote.
