It has been illegal for non-citizens to vote in California for decades, but how can we be sure non-citizens are not voting? We can't. Some state laws prohibit cross checks between illegal immigrant records and voting lists. In other words, laws preventing illegals from voting in most states are nothing but deceptive covers designed to fool the public into falsely thinking state laws prevent illegals from breaking the laws on a massive scale.
Illegals have been voting in California for decades and that fact is forever emblazoned in the Congressional Record. Democrats, not republicans, have been 'fighting like hell' for decades to legalize illegal immigrant voting. If Kackles and her Rambo warrior running mate win in 2024 we will likely see the legalization of all sorts of corrupt democrat voting, including voting by non Americans.

False Claims of Noncitizen Voting

About This Analysis
Only U.S. citizens may vote in federal and statewide elections. Potential voters must attest, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote – and states take additional steps to ensure that noncitizens are not on their voter registration lists. Although there is no evidence that the current systems are not working, or that noncitizen voting is a problem, some states are currently considering – and adopting – new laws that go too far, risking purges of U.S. citizens from their voter registration lists.
Notice the leftist hype. The false claim based upon nothing but assumptions is made that illegal voting is not happening. Notice also that the leftist writer condemns voting security measures that would close windows to unreported illegal voting, claiming voting security measures "go too far." The leftist promotion of illegal voting has found support in a SCOTUS decision:
In the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote that a Biden-signed executive order has led to agencies under Mr. Garland’s charge “attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing this goal.” ...
The problem, according to Mr. Watson, is that those materials may be given to people who can’t vote such as felons and illegal aliens. State officials are also essentially being forced to comply with the rules, he said.
“Our understanding is that everyone in the Marshals’ custody is given a form advising them of their right to register and vote,” his letter said, according to Fox News. “Providing ineligible non-citizens with information on how to register to vote undoubtedly encourages them to illegally register to vote, exposing them to legal jeopardy beyond their immigration status.”
The letter said that the secretary of state’s office believes that providing a form to illegal immigrants who are jailed to advise them of their right to vote “undoubtedly encourages them to illegally” do so and exposes them to “legal jeopardy.”

However, some states have tried to implement additional requirements for registrants to prove U.S. citizenship – and federal courts have blocked many of these efforts. For example, Arizona voters approved a ballot measure in 2004 to require registrants to provide documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC), such as a birth certificate or naturalization paperwork, in order to have their voter registration approved. The U.S. Supreme Court went on to block enforcement of this provision for federal elections – holding that Congress has the primary authority to set the rules for federal elections under the Constitution.[1] Since this ruling, Arizona has operated a bifurcated voter registration system – meaning voters who wish to participate in state or local elections must provide DPOC, while those who only wish to participate in federal elections can attest to their citizenship under penalty of law.
Seeking to test the limits of the Supreme Court ruling, the Arizona legislature recently passed a law in 2022 imposing new restrictions, including prohibiting voters from participating in federal presidential elections – and from voting by mail in federal elections – unless they provide documentary proof of citizenship. On February 29, a federal district court issued its final ruling concluding that these provisions of the Arizona law and several others violate federal laws and may not be enforced.
