The canvassing report from the 2020 primary election appeared doctored. In multiple parts, all the words and numbers, including the numbers of registered Republicans, were in the same font and aligned — except for the totals of registered Democrats and other parties.

Many voters who registered too late to vote in the last few elections were still allowed to vote, violating A.R.S. 16-120. That statute states that voters must be registered to vote at least 30 days before an election to vote.

Laux told The Sun Times the number of people who illegally voted before they were eligible could have tipped some of the races on the ballot. Elections around the country have been canceled due to merely a handful of illegal votes. In 2019, a judge ordered a new election for a U.S. House seat in Georgia after discovering four ineligible voters.

Large numbers of registered voters listing the same address as their residence — which was often an empty lot. 661 voters were listed at the Pima County Recorder’s address, 240 N. Stone.

A Speedway convenience store in Tucson had 115 registered voters use its location as their address. Convenience stores are not permitted by law to be used as residences for voter registration. PIP also found a large number of addresses that appeared to be rehabilitation centers that had numerous men registered to vote as Democrats or independents, with almost no Republicans.

Arizona legislators held a hearing in Tucson in December 2021, revealing similar numbers of registered voters at odd addresses. In the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity located on E. 2nd, investigators found 27 registered voters, where the average age was 45, not college age.

While the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the national voter registration rate is at 69.1%, many of Arizona’s counties have far higher percentages, including some with more than 100% of the eligible adult population. The Arizona Free Enterprise Club found that Pima County has 92% voter registration.

Due to the different databases in use, the report speculated, “Think about it, can a voter send in a mail-in ballot then go to a vote center and vote in person? Theoretically, yes. … What measures are in place to ensure a voter cannot vote by mail then go to a vote center on election day and vote a 2nd time?”

PIP analyzed the number of ballots picked up on various days from the locations and determined that, in some cases, there were too many ballots to fit in each box. “If the ballot box is sealed, short of picking it up and shaking it around, there Is no way that many ballots would fit,” the report said.
