It's a pretty well-known fact that noncitizens are unable to vote in our elections.

    Friendly reminder that nearly every recorded and investigated case of voter fraud in the US for the last 20+ years has been committed by Republicans.

      …and I’m sure the Republicans would tell you it’s because the liberal media and deep state work together to conceal cases of Democrat cheating.

      You should occasionally check out right wing news, if only to grasp the alternate reality they present so you know what talking point to expect being parroted at you.

    We know repubs project, a lot, so does this mean that repubs are illegally voting in droves?

      The only time I’ve heard of democratic voter fraud, the woman thought she had her right to vote restored after a felony conviction but hadn’t. It was a mistake not malicious like republican fraudsters.

        Not only that, she expressed that she was not certain if she was allowed, asked for guidance, and submitted a provisional vote, which I think was exactly what she was supposed to do. And then she got punished for it anyway.

      Not sure if this counts as “droves” but a lot of repubs were illegally voting in the name of their dead relatives

      Another GOP voter admits he committed fraud, gets light sentence - https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/another-gop-voter-admits-committed-fraud-gets-light-sentence-rcna39841

      Well they’re certainly the ones who have been repeatedly caught illegally voting while screeching about fraud themselves.

      It’s always projection, so can’t see anytime else.

      I’d wager yes.

      My pet conspiracy theory is that they called it The Great Steal, because they cheated so fucking hard that it was simply IMPOSSIBLE for the Dems to win '20.

    I can see why since they define “non-citizen” as anyone who doesn’t vote Republican.

    What non-citizens actually affect is house representation based on population, even though they aren’t allowed to vote in congressional elections. Republicans leverage gerrymandering to capture the power of the populated areas with limited registered voters. Just another reason why it’s so important we all vote in all elections. Democratic turnout has been below 50% for the last three elections, with a record high for a midterm election of 49% in 2018.
