Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a
major issue this election
By DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
Only U.S. citizens are eligible
to vote in this fall's election
for president and other top
offices. While that is nothing
new, the potential for nonci-
tizens to register or vote has
been receiving a lot of at-
tention lately. Citing an influx
of immigrants in recent years
at the U.S.-Mexico border,
Republicans have raised
concerns about the possi-
bility that noncitizens will be
voting and they have taken
steps in numerous states to
address that prospect, even
though cases of noncitizens
actually voting are rare.
GOP officials have under-
taken reviews of voter rolls,
issued executive orders
and placed constitutional
amendments on state bal-
lots as part of an emphasis
on thwarting noncitizen vot-
ing. Luis Gil, a Republican candidate for Franklin County Commissioner in central Ohio, speaks in favor of a constitutional amendment
on fall ballots that would prohibit noncitizen voting at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio, on, Oct. 6, 2022.
