Elon Musk, el magnate multimillonario dueño del sitio de redes sociales X, cree que Arizona está inundada de personas no ciudadanas que ilegalmente votan en las elecciones.

Es un mensaje que el hombre más rico del mundo ha estado difundiendo recientemente a sus seguidores en redes sociales, y no es el único. Legisladores estatales republicanos y grupos conservadores han expresado su preocupación por la votación ilegal y cómo podría influir en las elecciones en el estado clave.

“Arizona exige una prueba de ciudadanía para votar en las elecciones estatales, pero explícitamente no lo hace para las elecciones federales”, dijo Musk en julio en X. “Esto es un desastre”.

Hay un solo problema con esas afirmaciones: la evidencia muestra abrumadoramente que el voto de los no ciudadanos es poco común.

Esto es lo que debe saber sobre las leyes de registro de votantes de Arizona.

¿Qué dijo Musk y qué motivó sus preocupaciones?

Los comentarios de Musk llegan años después de que el expresidente Donald Trump y sus aliados hicieran afirmaciones falsas de fraude electoral en estados clave durante la carrera presidencial de 2020, lo que provocó una ola de negacionismo electoral en todo el país.

Musk ha cultivado durante mucho tiempo una relación con Trump, quien todavía niega los resultados de su anterior contienda presidencial y recientemente se hizo eco de acusaciones infundadas de que el voto de los no ciudadanos podría influir en las professionaĺximas elecciones. Musk también ha donado decenas de millones de dólares a America PAC, un comité de acción política pro-Trump.

¿Por qué Arizona es un punto focal para las conspiraciones electorales?

Mientras tanto, Arizona se ha convertido en un epicentro de las conspiraciones electorales y de los desafíos legales impulsados ​​por afirmaciones electorales falsas.

America First Authorized, un bufete de abogados alineado con Trump, presentó recientemente una versión revisada de una demanda que busca obligar a los funcionarios electorales del condado a tomar medidas adicionales para verificar el estado de ciudadanía de miles de votantes de Arizona. Es parte de una batalla más grande que se libra en el desierto por las leyes de registro de votantes.

En respuesta a la demanda, Musk preguntó en X: “¿Arizona se niega a eliminar a los ilegales de las listas de votantes?”

Un día después, Musk compartió otro anuncio sobre la demanda y agregó: “Se niegan a eliminar a los no ciudadanos de las listas de votantes”.

¿Es necesario ser ciudadano para votar en Arizona?

Sí, es necesario ser ciudadano para votar en las elecciones de Estados Unidos.

En todo el país, los formularios de registro generalmente requieren que los votantes certifiquen que son ciudadanos estadounidenses. Los votantes lo hacen bajo pena de perjurio, lo que significa que pueden ser considerados penalmente responsables si se descubre que proporcionaron información falsa.

Pero Arizona también exige que los votantes entreguen un certificado de nacimiento, un pasaporte o uno de los pocos documentos que prueban su ciudadanía.

De los 4.1 millones de votantes registrados del estado, alrededor de 42,000 no han proporcionado esa prueba, lo que crea un sistema único de doble vía. Los tribunales federales han dictaminado repetidamente que los legisladores estatales pueden impedir que los votantes que no hayan mostrado documentos de ciudadanía participen en las elecciones estatales y locales, pero deben permitir que los llamados “votantes sólo federales” emitan su voto en las contiendas federales. Eso incluye la professionaĺxima carrera presidencial, la contienda por el Senado de los EEUU y los enfrentamientos por el Congreso.

Recientemente, la Corte Suprema de los EEUU dijo que quienes se registren para votar sin prueba de ciudadanía sólo podrían hacerlo utilizando un formulario federal, y que quienes utilicen un formulario de registro de votantes específico de Arizona podrían ser rechazados.

La decisión limita, pero no elimina por completo, la capacidad de los arizonianos de registrarse para votar sin proporcionar prueba de ciudadanía.

¿Cómo se comparan las leyes de registro de votantes de Arizona con las de otros estados?

Arizona es el único estado del país que exige que los votantes proporcionen documentos que prueben su ciudadanía al registrarse para emitir su voto.

Si los votantes sólo federales se registran sin demostrar su ciudadanía, ¿cómo sabemos que son ciudadanos?Los votantes que sólo pueden votar a nivel federal no presentan prueba de ciudadanía junto con sus formularios de inscripción, pero de todas formas pasan por otras verificaciones estándar.

La ley estatal exige que los registradores del condado “utilicen todos los recursos disponibles para verificar el estatus de ciudadanía” de quienes se registran para votar. Esto incluye verificar el estatus de ciudadanía de los votantes que sólo pueden votar a nivel federal con un servicio de verificación del estatus migratorio proporcionado por el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional cuando sea posible. Ese sistema requiere números de identificación específicos que los funcionarios del condado no tienen para cada votante que sólo puede votar a nivel federal.

Las listas de votantes también se verifican rutinariamente con información de la Administración del Seguro Social de EEUU, el Servicio Postal de EEUU, el Departamento de Servicios de Salud de Arizona, el Departamento de Transporte de Arizona y la Oficina del Comisionado del Jurado del Condado de Maricopa.

Si otra agencia gubernamental les cube a los funcionarios electorales que una persona registrada para votar no es ciudadana, la persona es eliminada de la lista de votantes.

Los estudios han demostrado repetidamente que el fraude electoral es muy poco común. Los no ciudadanos que intentan votar corren el riesgo de recibir multas y pasar tiempo en prisión. También podrían correr el riesgo de ser deportados si se encuentran en el país ilegalmente, o de impedir su proceso de naturalización si son inmigrantes ilegales.

¿Quiénes son los votantes que sólo pueden votar en el gobierno federal?

Un análisis reciente de Votebeat descubrió que los votantes que sólo pueden votar en el gobierno federal son, en una proporción desproporcionada, jóvenes en los campus universitarios que no tienen acceso a sus documentos de ciudadanía.

Los votantes tribales y las personas que han cambiado su nombre también suelen carecer de acceso a una prueba de ciudadanía.

Hasta hace poco, no se expidían certificados de nacimiento a las personas nacidas en reservas. Los votantes nativos americanos pueden utilizar tarjetas de identificación tribales para demostrar la ciudadanía, pero no todas las tribus las proporcionan. Algunas de las que sí lo hacen cobran por ellas.

Los votantes deben proporcionar documentación authorized adicional para demostrar su identidad al registrarse para emitir su voto si su nombare no coincide con el que figura en su certificado de nacimiento. Esto suele aplicarse a las mujeres que se casaron y adoptaron el apellido de su marido. Una encuesta de 2006 del Centro Brennan mostró que menos de la mitad de todas las mujeres encuestadas con fácil acceso a sus certificados de nacimiento tenían uno con su nombre authorized precise.
