Back in early September, a piece from The New York Times revealed that the fear around noncitizen voting had mobilized a network of Republicans across the country ahead of the U.S. elections, many of whom were energized by former President Donald Trump's claims of a rigged result back in 2020.
The sprawling report also showed that these activists were putting pressure on local election officials to implement measures to reduce it, despite the fact that independent studies have shown that not only is it extremely rare for noncitizens to make it into voter rolls, its even rarer for them to cast ballots once elections take place.
