TL;DR Summary

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced plans to introduce a bill to prevent noncitizen voting, citing a "threat of fraud," despite data and studies showing that noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent. Experts and studies have debunked claims of widespread noncitizen voting, with federal law already prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections. Johnson's proposal to require proof of citizenship for voter registration has been met with skepticism, as allegations of noncitizen voting are seen as myths and xenophobic lies that erode trust in the electoral process.
