"Trump and Mike Johnson Push for Crackdown on Noncitizen Voting Despite Rarity"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson proposed new legislation to address noncitizen voting, despite it already being illegal and rare. The bill would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, but critics argue it could disenfranchise millions. Investigations have found minimal evidence of noncitizen voting, with just 30 suspected cases out of 23.5 million votes in 2016. Both Trump and Johnson have a history of promoting baseless claims about election integrity, and experts note that instances of noncitizen voting are often due to misunderstandings or mistakes.
