It's a hoax
From the link:
"In 2008, disputes over the prevalence of voter fraud made their way to court. The American Civil Liberties Union sued Kris Kobach, then the secretary of state in Kansas, over a law he had helped get passed that required a birth certificate or passport to vote.
"It’s Kobach, in fact, who may have helped persuade President Trump to make wild claims that millions of undocumented immigrants voted in 2016 and enabled Hillary Clinton to win 3 million more votes than he did. Kobach is running this year for the U.S. Senate.
"But when the ACLU sued Kobach and he was forced to present evidence in a court of law, he could only offer proof of less than 40 noncitizens attempting to vote over a 20-year period in one of the state’s biggest counties. Most of those were the result of confusion or error, and only five of those 40 actually voted.
"Judge Julie Robinson, a Bush appointee, held Kobach in contempt of court and overturned the law, finding that it had disenfranchised “tens of thousands of voters.”"
What is voter fraud? Yahoo News explains
The issue of voter fraud has been studied at length. And those studies have routinely shown that while it’s inaccurate to say that voter fraud doesn’t exist, it’s also wrong to say that it’s in any way common.
