Noncitizens Voting Claims

It’s a Federal Crime for Non-Citizens to Vote in Federal and State Elections. Under Federal Law, you could face up to Five years in Prison simply for Registering to vote. It’s also a Deportable Offense for Noncitizens to Register or Vote.

People make Bad Decisions and Commit Crimes all the time. But this One is different: by Committing the Crime, you create a Government Record of your having Committed it.

In fact, it’s the Creation of the Government Record, the Registration Form or the Ballot Cast, that is the Crime.

So, you’ve Not only exposed Yourself to Prison Time and Deportation, you’ve put yourself on the Government’s radar, and you’ve handed the Government the evidence it needs to put you in Prison and/or Deport you. All so you could Cast One Vote. Who would do such a thing?

The Answer is: just about No One. Every Legitimate Study ever done on the question, shows that Voting by Noncitizens in State and Federal Elections is vanishingly Rare.

The Brennan Center’s study of 42 Jurisdictions in the 2016 General Election, found that the tabulation of 23.5 million Votes, referred only an estimated 30 Incidents of suspected Noncitizen Voting, for further Investigation or Prosecution.

In other words, even Suspected, not Proven, Noncitizen Votes accounted for just 0.0001% of the Votes cast.

The fact that in Order to Commit these Crime,s you Create a Government Record of having Committed them.

Indeed, anyone can look up your Voter History on Public Voter Files. And Election Officials conduct regular Maintenance of these Voter Lists, in fact, they’re required to by Federal Law.

Moreover, these are Crimes that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Officers, are instructed to look into during the Naturalization Process. So, if you ever try to become a Citizen, you’ll be caught.

It should come as No Surprise then that in the extremely Rare instances when a Noncitizen does Cast a Ballot, it’s usually an Accident.

Sadly, there have been times when Noncitizens are Misled by mistaken Officials into thinking that they’re Eligible, and they can face serious Consequences even as a Result of a Mistake.

But Noncitizen Voting is simply Not a Widespread or even a Significant Occurrence. And it’s already Illegal.

We don’t need New Laws to Stop it from happening. If Congress wants to Improve our Electoral system, it should Focus instead on Guaranteeing and Protecting the Freedom to Vote for Eligible Voters.
