GOP Pushes Redundant Noncitizen Voting Ban Amid Misinformation Campaign
Despite existing laws against noncitizen voting in federal elections, Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are advocating for stricter measures, fueled by baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.
- Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, are pushing for a bill in Congress that would ban noncitizen voting, despite such voting already being illegal in federal elections.
- Trump continues to spread false claims about noncitizens voting in large numbers, a narrative debunked by multiple investigations and expert analyses.
- The proposed legislation includes measures that would enforce separation of voter registrations and restrict federal funds for localities allowing noncitizen voting in their elections.
- Critics argue the bill is unnecessary and emphasize that existing laws already prevent noncitizen voting in federal elections, with severe penalties for violations.
- The misinformation surrounding noncitizen voting persists as a tactic to stoke fears about immigration and election integrity.
