“The recent history of elections is littered with failed data matching efforts, often driven by false fraud narratives, which have entangled eligible voters. The first Trump administration attempted the beginnings of a similar data project, though the effort shuttered after most states balked at sharing their voter data.
The fact that the development and rollout follow President Trump's falsehoods about widespread noncitizen voting makes election experts wary of how this new tool will work.
[…]
Everyone registering to vote must swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are a U.S. citizen. The consequences for noncitizens who try to vote include fines, prison time and deportation. Officials say that deterrent is why cases of ineligible people casting ballots are incredibly rare — a fact that's become increasingly apparent as more and more states devote resources to uncovering the few people that slip through the cracks every election. Research has also shown that when noncitizens do vote, it's often not to commit fraud but rather because they misunderstood eligibility rules.”
Another ‘solution’ in search of a ‘problem’ that doesn’t exist.
Trump’s unwarranted, bizarre obsession with this non-issue continues.
