Democrats say voting without citizens doesn’t happen, while Republicans and most states try to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in elections.
As states pass constitutional amendments to prevent non-citizens from voting and Republicans raise the alarm on the issue as more evidence is presented, Democrats insist it’s not a problem because foreigners don’t vote in U.S. elections.
– claimed Democrats from the House of Representatives Administrative Committee during the interrogation entitled, “American confidence in elections: Preventing noncitizen voting and other foreign interference” that the discussion about citizenless voting is an attempt by Republicans to undermine the 2024 election results.
Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY-25) (pictured above) flatly said during his hearing that non-US citizens do not vote in US elections and that Republicans operate the word “non-issue” to explain why former President Donald Trump will lose the 2024 presidential election.
“This hearing is intended to preemptively cover up Donald Trump’s lies.” Morelle said. “The hearing is not about law and order. It’s about laying the foundations for the next big lie. The point is to say that illegal voting is the cause of electoral defeat.”
During the hearing, Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala. presented as evidence: review article by Morelle published on Thursday, in which he wrote: “independent sources have repeatedly debunked this mythchecking whether voting in federal elections by foreigners is extremely uncommon and actually occurred it has never been shown to influence the outcome of any election“
However, according to A study by Just the facts10 to 27 percent of foreigners are registered to vote in the U.S., and about half of them – 5 to 13 percent – “will vote illegally in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections.”
The 2022 U.S. Census found that there are 19.7 million voting-age non-citizens in the country. This does not apply to non-citizens who did not take part in the census or falsely claimed to be a citizen, Just the facts recorded.
This information suggests that between one and 2.7 million foreigners will vote illegally in the 2024 US elections. Just the facts.
More noncitizens have entered the country since the census, and Steil said Thursday that since Biden took office in 2021, “more than 7 million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border.”
While non-citizens are voting ban in federal, state and local majority elections in the three states of California, Maryland and Vermont and in Washington, D.C., allow foreigners to vote in local elections.
Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Ohio have included language in their state constitutions that prohibits non-citizens from voting. Meanwhile, in Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Wisconsin, voters have the opportunity to vote this year on whether non-citizens should be barred from voting in state elections.
In March, a federal judge dismissed the legal complaint to Washington’s 2022 bill allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections.
House Administration Committee Bryan Steil, D-Wisconsin, he said “John Solomon Reports” podcast on Wednesday that Washington is a “petri dish” for Democrats to encourage “foreigners to vote in our elections.”
He explained it postcards are sent to encourage “foreigners to vote in the upcoming elections in Washington.”
“This is what the left wants to do. They are using Washington, D.C. – a city run by Democrats – as a petri dish to simply try to get foreigners to vote in our elections,” Steil said. “I am working to prevent non-US citizens from voting in our elections and to say that US elections should be for US citizens.”
“We’ve seen Democrats test their model here in our nation’s capital,” he added, and “foreigners are on the voter rolls in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.”
“Now is the time to act to prevent noncitizens from voting, especially in the upcoming November presidential election,” Steil continued.
During the proceedings of the House of Representatives Administrative Committee hearing on Thursday, Steil said there are 500 foreigners registered to vote in Washington
J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF), testified at the trial, saying: “The reality is that non-US citizens end up on US voter rolls and some of them vote. “The data shows that foreigners are most likely to gain traction through the auto voter registration process or third-party registration organizations.”
“In 2024, it is no longer an open question whether foreigners register and vote,” he added. Adams said later. “Anyone who would try to argue otherwise hasn’t read the data. We have documented the problems.”
Adams explained that under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, non-citizens are often added to the voter roll even if they admit they are not citizens.
According to a PILF report from May last year, Chicago Records show that since 2007, 394 foreigners have been removed from the city’s voter rolls, of which 20 of them cast 85 votes. In April 2023 – PILF reported Maricopa County, Arizona records show that since 2015, 222 non-citizens have been removed from the county’s voter rolls, and nine of them cast 12 ballots in four federal elections.
