More tweets on lies on non-citizen voting fraud

It’s a very small amount. Republicans lie and make it sound huge.

The Next Big Lie is already underway: false claims about immigrants participating in voter fraud. It’s not even a documented problem & the rise of this lie is already having violent consequences IRL (see hate against legal residents in Springfield, OH). https://t.co/6J944n3qqO

Illegal immigrant voter fraud is very rare

Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election https://t.co/weXQYQe4WM

Last month, I went straight to the lion’s den and reviewed the Heritage Foundation’s own database of proven cases of voter fraud dating back to the 1980s.

They had only documented 10 cases TOTAL where an undocumented immigrant had voted.

The simple reality is that there’s never been a non-citizen “voter fraud” problem in America—or any other advanced democracy—so there’s no need for a “solution.”https://t.co/i29HtWMDp1

There is no non-citizen voter fraud problem

It’s another Republican lie.

As Trump and Johnson again raise unfounded election fears, this time about non-citizens voting, remember the facts:

The right-leaning Heritage Foundation’s database of confirmed fraud cases lists less than 100 examples of non-citizens voting between 2002 and 2022, amid more than…

Too obvious perhaps to need saying:

Republicans don’t have a problem with non-citizens voting, since there are no non-citizens voting.

Republicans have a problem with black and brown citizens voting.

And "Heritage Foundation has database of voter fraud cases across USA. It found just 85 cases of non-citizen voting since 2002.
Some of isolated instances of non-citizens voting were people who were confused on eligibility & did not do so intentionally."https://t.co/hXKqpfFCK6

Several GOP-led states with election deniers leave group that cleaned up voter rolls

Wondering how many of these "police forces" would survive the preclearance process under the Voting Rights Act, which existed from 65 until GOP SCOTUS majority gutted it in #Shelby 2013.

Republicans lie about voter fraud

Republicans last year cited this case of a mail ballot cast in the name of a dead woman as concrete evidence of voter fraud.

Update on phony claims of election fraud in Georgia

Will the 2020 election ever be over? Will the Republicans ever accept it if they lose a future presidential election?

What they’re doing based on non-existent fraud is wrong and dangerous.
