Arizona federal only ballot Part 1, Proof of illegal aliens voting, What took place in 2020 election?, What steps taken to cast out illegal votes?
*** Part 1 ***
The Arizona federal only ballots are confusing at best and the ballots and/or procedures for handling them possibly illegal.
By law a person can register to vote without proof of citizenship. That was a bad idea.
However, by US and Arizona law, one must be a citizen to vote.

“PROOF OF ILLEGAL ALIENS VOTING
One of the numerous illegalities and irregularities revealed in the November election hearing was from Arizona State legislator Kelly Townsend.
Townsend was part of the legislative panel.
At around 1:46:00 Rudy Giuliani asks about the numbers of illegal aliens in Arizona. Panel members responded that they do not have that number.
However, Townsend provided the following data:
There is a list of 36,000 federal voters who have not proven citizenship. They allegedly can vote for federal candidates.
4,100 of these non proven citizens voted in Maricopa County.
4,000 voters were from out of state.
Where did the numbers come from?
16-161. Official record of registration; federal form; reporting
“B. On the dates prescribed by section 16-168, subsection G, the county recorder shall report to the secretary of state and shall prominently post on the recorder’s website the number of persons who are registered to vote using the federal or state voter registration form and who have not provided proof of citizenship to the county recorder and, after each general election, shall post on the recorder’s website the number of ballots cast by those persons who were eligible to vote a ballot containing federal offices only.”

INTERESTING.
The Arizona statutes are clear on who can vote.
16-101. Qualifications of registrant; definition
“A. Every resident of the state is qualified to register to vote if he:
1. Is a citizen of the United States.”

No where in the statutes do I find a provision that allows for voting for federal candidates by non citizens.
Citizen Wells emailed Kelly Townsend this morning.
KELLY TOWNSEND SPONSORED HB 2039
“16-161. Official record of registration; federal form; 5 reporting
A. When the registration form is filled out, signed by the elector and received by the county recorder, it shall constitute an official public record of the registration of the elector.
B. ON THE DATES PRESCRIBED BY SECTION 16-168, SUBSECTION G, THE COUNTY RECORDER SHALL REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND SHALL PROMINENTLY POST ON THE RECORDER’S WEBSITE THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WHO ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE USING THE FEDERAL VOTER REGISTRATION FORM AND WHO HAVE NOT PROVIDED PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO THE COUNTY RECORDER AND, AFTER EACH GENERAL ELECTION, SHALL POST ON THE RECORDER’S WEBSITE THE NUMBER OF BALLOTS CAST BY THOSE PERSONS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE A BALLOT CONTAINING FEDERAL OFFICES ONLY. “

Kelly Townsend, R-Mesa, argues in favor of a proposal tightening rules for initiative petition circulators and giving the attorney general the power to rewrite initiative ballot language at the Arizona Capitol Wednesday, May 8, in Phoenix.

Senator Kelly Townsend posted the following on Telegram June 5, 2021.
“AZ still has over 21k "Federal Only voters" who cannot prove they are a citizen or that they even exist. They are not in the MVD system and all they need is a bank statement (easily doctored) to get a ballot. This will need to be addressed at the Federal level, and I have been working to make this more known for some time. This is the next thing that needs an audit, and voter intimidation is a flimsy excuse not to do it.”
This confirms that no audit was done on federal only ballots.
Did Secretary of State Katie Hobbs et al do their jobs?
