Trump's attempt at voter suppression will be overturned. An American's right to vote free of senseless bureaucratic impediments is essential to democracy. There is no exception made for partisan paranoia.
There have been no cases of the very rare instances of fraudulent votes impacting an election.
Obviously, Trump's cult don't need no stinkin' evidence. They do their bobble-head genuflections for whatever he pulls from his enormous butt, but the courts do require credible evidence.
In the past, Trump has baselessly claimed that thousands, if not millions, of undocumented immigrants voted against him in his presidential bids. Following the 2016 election, Trump claimed that between 3 million and 5 million “illegal votes” caused him to lose the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. When he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden four years later, he alleged that Biden won in key states due to tens of thousands of non-citizen votes.
It’s already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal U.S. elections, however, and research and recent state investigations have shown that non-citizen registration and voting occurs only very rarely, accounting for just a sliver of registered voters and an even more minuscule fraction of ballots cast.
The preliminary results of recent investigations into potential non-citizen voting that have been conducted in multiple states have yielded numbers that are a fraction of a fraction of those Trump has claimed.
Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry announced in September that an ongoing investigation had found 390 non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls. That number represents roughly 0.01 percent of the 2.9 million registered voters in Louisiana. Of the 390 non-citizen registrants identified by the investigation, Landry said 79 had voted in at least one election.
Utah’s election office, meanwhile, said last month that it had not discovered any cases of non-citizens casting ballots in the state after months of investigating.
“We have not yet encountered anyone who voted illegally,” Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson said about her office’s review of the 2.1 million people on the state’s voter rolls.
President Trump has repeatedly claimed non-citizen voting is widespread in the U.S.. Research shows it's extremely rare.
