The Actually True and Provable Facts About Non-Citizen Voting
(1)
Election officials agree that there is no serious problem of non-citizen voting in our elections. The National Association of Secretaries of State, whose
Republican-majority membership includes the chief elections officers of 40 states,
said they “are not aware of any evidence that supports the voter fraud claims made by President Trump.”
(2) Also, it is relatively easy for a non-citizen to get caught. If an ineligible person intentionally registers or votes, not only do they risk being recognized, but their name will be on permanent lists of voters for later detection. And, as discussed below, lots of people scrutinize those lists looking for potentially ineligible voters, increasing the chances of getting caught. Again, when discovered, non-citizens face fines, time in prison, and deportation.

This will catch illegal voters and stop them ? HOW ?

You can lead a dumbass to the truth but you can't make him read.

It’s not hard to identify non-citizen voting — and many people are looking.
If an undocumented citizen registers to vote and actually votes, they may not get caught in the act, but their name is entered on voters lists. The only secret they have after that is for whom they voted.
I realize it may be too many words and not enough pictures but that is not my fault:
The Actually True and Provable Facts About Non-Citizen Voting
It’s not hard to identify non-citizen voting — and many people are looking.
Unlike voter impersonation fraud, which is
also exceptionally rare, non-citizen voting involves ineligible persons registering and voting in their own names.
If a non-citizen were to vote, their name would be permanently listed in the record of persons who voted in that election as well as on the list of registered voters in that jurisdiction for as long as they remain registered. Those lists can be reviewed or compared to lists of non-citizens to identify anyone that was ineligible to vote.
The registration and voting records enable several different stakeholders to identify any non-citizens who voted in an election.
First, state election officials are required by law to regularly scour the voter rolls for ineligible voters. Many have used the list comparison technique to comb through their entire list of registered voters, and still found minimal evidence of non-citizens voting.
In 2012, Florida conducted this type of analysis of its list of 12 million registered, active voters. At first the state believed it had identified 180,000 potential ineligible voters by searching a state database with out-of-date citizenship information. Upon further investigation, the state narrowed that list down to 2,600 and sent it on to county election officials for review. After the counties conducted their own investigations,
Florida removed just 85 ineligible registrants from their statewide list and only
one person was convicted for fraud. Investigations in
Colorado,
Iowa,
Michigan, and
Ohio ended similarly.
Non-citizen voting is very rare.
Multiple nationwide studies have uncovered only a handful of incidents of non-citizens voting.
Based on state prosecution records, votes by non-citizens account for between 0.0003 percent and 0.001 percent of all votes cast.
