Experts say the bill could make voting harder for actual citizens. Passed in the U.S. House, it is unlikely to clear the U.S. Senate.
There are so many bad things happening in this country right now and these clowns focus their time on a non-issue.
Generally-speaking, adding more barriers to voting has favored Republican voters somewhat — you see more Democrat votes go away than you do Republican — so it’s been a long-running Republican issue. You can’t say “I’m trying to tilt the outcome of elections by adding barriers to voting”, so you have to say that you’re trying to prevent vote fraud.
You can think of it as something like gerrymandering — an attempt to manipulate voting rules, within legal bounds, such that they favor one’s own party.
That used to be the norm. Low income voters vote for democrats and the elites vote for republicans. However, that has been changing lately. Trump is getting a lot of blue-collar voters. Those are usually suppressed by these laws. There’s a chance that these laws may hurt republicans more than democrats.
Almost never happens? Have there been any documented cases of it actually occurring?
From what I’ve read, it’s certainly happened. As for how frequently, the number for the last US presidential election sits somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred thousand. Reports vary, as they tend to do. 🤷 I haven’t done any serious research yet.
GIVE ME A NAME!
JUST ONE NAME OF A NON US CITIZEN THAT SUCCESSFULLY VOTED AND HAD IT COUNT!
[NARRATOR]: They were never given a name.
That’s kind of a silly request on account of any non-citizen having been identified as having voted would have their vote not count, right?

Considering the law is already on the federal books, has this moron had his pay docked for wasting taxpayer dollars for nothing?
Obvious voter suppression is obvious.
I live in Wisconsin. Can confirm- our conservo-fascists are indeed very, VERY stupid.
It’s intrinsic to the ideology
well, yes. now they can say they solved it.
So typically these “trivial” things lead to loopholes for future agendas. I’m not from that state but it seems like something else is at play going through great lengths to change one word from “Every” to “only”. I would be highly suspicious of any small changes like this. Vote in your local elections. They are actually more important than the federal ones. This is mostly where they come up with dumbass ideas to turn into dumbass laws.
Over here in Florida, they’re focused on weather machines and chemtrails. They just waste time in dumb conspiracy shit to feed the hogs, so they can continue to fleece us.

Oh hey, a clerical error that got fixed without undue criminalization. 30 people voted that shouldn’t have, and won’t anymore. Priority number one
See you in 6 months when they release another batch of already fixed won’t happen any more clerical errors!
In total, the technical and clerical errors are so far known to have resulted in 1,739 people being mistakenly registered to vote, according to the Secretary of State’s office, which said many were later confirmed to be citizens. As of this month, the office has determined that only 30 of those people voted in an election — a tiny fraction of the state’s roughly 3 million registered voters.
This is literally a nothingburger.
Nearly 3 dozen nothingburgers and counting, but have fun figuratively digging through the rest of the narcissist’s prayer
How many noncitizens voted in 2024 in total? Name one election that was swayed by election fraud.
Yep, total noncitizens voting in some random year have something to do with a law being passed in Wisconsin in 2025
Do you bother to read this drivel before you post it?
Total noncitizens voting in the goddamn general election has a lot to do with a law being passed a year later to combat noncitizen voting. Do you bother to read this drivel before you post it?
Literally a statistical anomaly. Learn math.
We’ve upgraded from almost never to statistical anomaly! Let’s go
It’s both, you dolt.
