Maricopa County recorder asks prosecutors to investigate 207 alleged noncitizen voters

[RandySF]

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap has formally referred potential noncitizen voters identified by an error-prone federal database to local prosecutors for further investigation ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said in a statement that Heap referred a total of 207 individuals for review — significantly more than the 137 voters Heap had previously announced he suspected were noncitizens. It said those referrals came in two batches — 137 voters were referred last week, and another 70 people were added on Monday.

Judy Keane, a spokeswoman for Heap, did not respond to a question about why he referred an additional 70 voters.

Prosecutors added that the probe was in “very early stages.”

1. Not believing one county has 20 times the national count over the last 40.years

This is a publicity stunt for a solution in search of a problem.

It would be shocking if there were 3 in a county in one election based on real data. I would be shocked if there were two, but that could be a married couple with paperwork issues.

2. Speaking as an Arizona resident

My guess is he’s looking for an administration position… talk louder, make accusations that have little basis in fact and most importantly, use an incorrect procedure to make your big move. This way you can blame deep state bla, bla for why your actions fail. Just like rudy et al going into courts with speculation and no proof being thrown out….
