How much time and money spent to find 8 (8!) voters. These are not serious people. 5 of the noncitizen voters registered without party affiliation, 2 registered as Republicans, and 1 registered as a Democrat. Their votes would not have changed the outcome of any election. Absolute clown show.

Maricopa County investigated 60 suspected noncitizen voters. 52 are citizens, 8 are not.
Most Maricopa County voters flagged as potential noncitizen by an error-prone federal system are actually citizens, according to prosecutors

🚨DON’T BE FOOLED BY PROP 320: It claims to mandate 60% classroom spending, but the fine print tells a very different story. Prop 320 adds no new funding to our public schools. Instead, it threatens teacher pay cuts, fails to define critical terms, & forces districts to slash student support staff.
