Republican election officials in Arizona and Texas have publicly refuted claims made by Elon Musk regarding voter fraud, labeling them as 'extremely false' and 'totally inaccurate'. Musk's allegations, which suggested a significant number of voters were registering in the U.S. without proper identification, sparked controversy after he described a post on X (formerly Twitter) as 'extremely concerning'. He claimed it showed evidence of widespread voter registration issues. However, election authorities, including an Arizona GOP elections official and the Texas Secretary of State, quickly debunked these assertions. In Arizona, it was clarified that over 21,000 voters in Maricopa County, representing 60% of the state, are registered federally without a state-issued ID, a fact debunked in '5 minutes and 2 lines of python' and does not imply fraudulent activity. Both states emphasized the integrity of their electoral systems and criticized Musk for spreading misinformation.
