Instead of trumpeting Trump's Big Lie, why not actually do some research yourself? The issue has literally been looked at with a fine-tooth comb, by multiple states and agencies. What was found, everywhere, was no evidence of non-citizens voting in numbers large enough to be meaningful. Michigan is a good example. That state audited their entire voting database aftter the 2024 election. What they found was 16 cases of non-citizens voting out of the 5.7 million who voted. You'll find the same thing with other states--tiny numbers out of millions of votes cast. And, not with just the 2024 election but with other past elections studied. It's a total non-issue. Trump has taken this total non-issue and is spouting his Big Lie in order to pass the SAVE Act, which will make it more difficult for many American citizens, especially married women, to vote. Why does Trump want to make voting more difficult, not easier? Because, if it is made easier, according to Trump, "You never have a Republican elected in this country again." His words, not mine. Hmm. Republicans currently own the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. Yet another lie from the prolific Mr. Trump. So, the goal, I don't know why, given Republican success, is to set up hurdles to getting registered, thinking some may just give up and not bother with the time and the expense involved. As with a lot of issues, the good of the many must be weighed against the abuse of a tiny few. Making voting easier, not more difficult, should be the goal, to get more voter participation, not less, by the citizens.
