Due to a successful lawsuit by America First Legal (AFL), Arizona will soon be purging an estimated 50,000 non-citizens from the voter rolls. The Democrats are absolutely beside themselves over it. “This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans,” (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital.
As a result of the lawsuit, the 15 counties have now begun working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to verify the citizenship status of all registered voters in the state who failed to provide proof of citizenship.
While a 2013 Supreme Court ruling prohibits states from imposing voter registration requirements beyond the federal requirement that registrants must check a box affirming their U.S. citizenship, Arizona residents are still required to provide proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections.
The Arizona law also requires that county recorders perform a monthly list maintenance to confirm the U.S. citizenship of so-called “federal-only voters,” a list of nearly 50,000 individuals who failed to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and were not allowed to vote in state or local elections.
AFL filed the lawsuit on behalf of EZAZ.org and Yvonne Cahill, a registered voter and naturalized citizen. The argument was that the counties were not obeying state laws that require proof of citizenship to vote and that checks were being given out to non-citizens. The nearly 50,000 individuals on the “federal-only voters” list failed to provide proof of citizenship and were already barred from voting in state and local elections.
Last year the very liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that people could register for federal elections and vote without proving they were citizens. The only possible reason people would want such a ruling is to manufacture Democratic voters. 50,000 votes will decide many races in Arizona.

In fact, many recent congressional and state-level races have been decided by far smaller margins.
Contrary to the claims of the left, requiring proof of citizenship isn’t voter suppression; it’s common sense. Really, what’s so controversial about ensuring only American citizens can vote in American elections? That’s cute how Democrats keep insisting that basic election integrity measures somehow discriminate against minorities and women.
The real threat to our democracy isn’t voter ID or citizenship verification—it’s the erosion of faith in our electoral system. When millions of Americans believe illegal voters are canceling out their votes, that’s a recipe for disaster.
