U.S. attorney investigating three groups reportedly 'registering non-citizens to vote in Arizona'

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, Timothy Courchaine, is investigating three organizations for allegedly registering non-citizens to vote in Arizona, potentially breaching federal law.

• The organizations under investigation are Stand Indivisible Arizona, Worker Power, and When We Count.

• Courchaine's office has referred the matter to the FBI and sent letters to state officials, including Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap and Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, on October 26.

• There are allegations that the groups either ignored or were unaware of laws prohibiting non-citizen voter registration.

• The public is reminded that voting is restricted to U.S. citizens, including those on visas or as legal permanent residents.

• Violating this law by knowingly registering a non-citizen is an offense under federal law.

The investigation underscores the importance of compliance with voting laws, especially with the impending midterm elections. Courchaine seeks to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by reviewing the registration activities of the involved organizations.
