Noncitizen Voting
- With a critical midterm election less than two weeks away, America is awash in rhetoric about voter suppression, election integrity, and threats to democracy
- Lost in the political spin and 24-hour cable news programming is a very real and underreported threat to our democracy: allowing noncitizens to vote in U.S. elections
- Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but there is no such restriction for state or local elections.
- A large pool of noncitizens, most of whom have no understanding of America's founding principles, can be easily swayed to vote a certain way in critical races.
Noncitizen Voting
- One of the cornerstones of our republic is the belief that our elections are legitimate and that those elections are decided by the votes of U.S. citizens. Permitting noncitizens to vote dilutes the power of citizens' votes.
- It allows our leaders to be chosen by those with little to no understanding of our unique commitments to personal liberties and protections against government overreach.
