The Associated Press ( AP ) acknowledged that foreigners have been caught “illegally registering and even casting ballots” in a sensational piece that was critical of the Republican-led Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require proof of citizenship to cast ballots. Liberals and their media supporters are n’t stopping opponents of protection like the SAVE Act, which threaten the benefits Liberals derive from free election laws, though.
The issue of illegal election in the United States has become a hot button issue for Republicans in the election time. They contend that because of the country’s unprecedented levels of illegal immigration near the U.S. Mexico border, policy is necessary to safeguard the integrity of the vote.
There is no evidence that election by people who are not citizens of the United States is illegal in national elections, according to Swenson, who insisted. However, she acknowledged nine sections after that” there have been instances over the years of noncitizens improperly registering and yet casting vote.”
Swenson argued that these instances are n’t significant because” states have systems to catch” illegal ballot. In reality, the federal government has forbid claims from requiring citizenship-related documentation before registering to cast ballots in federal elections.
Federal voter registration forms do n’t demand citizenship-related documentation. Instead, each person who registers to vote had just check a field accepting he is a U. S. member. In other words, our votes hinge on the recognition system.

If the current “mechanisms” had allowed foreigners to get onto voter rolls, why are Democrats therefore opposed to an extra “mechanism” to stop foreigners from registering to cast ballots?
According to Swenson,” Democrats fear that making more ID requirements may disqualify eligible voters who do n’t have their birth certificates or Social Security cards on hand.” But she also asserted, citing a quit- aircraft advocate, that people who register to vote offer some form of ID, such as a” Social Security number, pilot’s license or state ID”.
That implies that they already have the necessary documentation to receive those documents, or that they have been specifically classified in the state’s records if they are a noncitizen with a state ID or Social Security number,” Swenson wrote. However, if these eligible voters already have documentation proving their citizenship from the date of the issue, how would requiring it to register to cast a ballot constitute “disenfranchisement”?
Democrats and their ballot-trapping operations profit from weak election security, which is the real reason leftists oppose the SAVE Act and similar election integrity reforms.
Democrats, including President Joe Biden, compared it to” Jim Crow 2.0″ when Georgia Republicans passed an election integrity measure in 2022. The left claimed that the law requiring voter identification to cast absentee ballots was racist, saying that black voters would be denied their rights because they would n’t be able to obtain IDs.
Of course, the disenfranchisement never actually happened. The state saw record- breaking turnout in the 2022 primary, with approximately 800, 000 Georgians casting an early vote. According to The Washington Post, that number was three times as many early votes cast in 2018 as there will be in 2020. And in the fall general election, 0 % of black voters reported to polls that they had had a “poor” experience voting.
Democrats were forced to protest the legislation because challenging election integrity regulations made their balloting procedures more difficult. Their arguments against proof of citizenship laws like the SAVE Act are just as self-serving.
