"The Myth of Noncitizen Voting: Unraveling False Claims"
Conservative figures, including Cleta Mitchell and Donald Trump, are perpetuating the false narrative of noncitizen voting in the 2024 elections, despite overwhelming evidence that it rarely occurs. The baseless claims are being used to stoke fears about immigration and push for stricter voter registration laws, despite experts warning that such measures would disenfranchise eligible voters without addressing any real problem. While federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, some states are pushing for constitutional amendments to explicitly ban noncitizen voting, despite little evidence of it happening.
