Non-citizens aren’t voting. There isn’t any truth to the rumor. That’s why Dems desperately keep fighting against…
- Voter ID
- A census question on citizenship status
- The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act
House Democratic leadership is bringing out the big guns against a Republican bill set to be voted on next week that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: House Republicans have made non-citizen voting in federal elections — for which there is no evidence of a widespread phenomenon — a marquee issue going into the 2024 campaign.
There is no evidence… of a widespread phenomenon. Let’s break down that weasel language. It’s happening widely but the media claims that it hasn’t been proven to its satisfaction.
But of course, the best evidence is how the fight against the SAVE Act.
House Dems will be warning their members to vote against keeping non-citizens from voting. Why? If it’s not happening, then there’s no problem. But it is is happening. And it largely benefits the party fighting to protect it.
