Eight States Approve Ballot Measures Banning Noncitizen Voting
TL;DR
Voters in eight states, including Idaho, Iowa, and Missouri, approved Republican-backed constitutional amendments to explicitly ban noncitizens from voting in state and local elections, despite it already being illegal. These measures, passed by GOP-controlled legislatures, are seen as part of a broader strategy to emphasize unsubstantiated claims of widespread noncitizen voting. The amendments aim to modify state constitutions to specify that only U.S. citizens can vote, amid ongoing Republican efforts to address alleged voter fraud.
