Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election

apnews.com Data indicates voting by noncitizens is rare. Republicans are pressing measures to make sure of it

Federal law already allows only U.S. citizens to vote in elections for president and Congress. Yet Republicans are raising concerns about the potential for noncitizens voting in this year's elections.

You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.

- Oh all of the above have been "the problem" as long as I've been alive, at the same time.
  It's almost like it isn't everyone else that's the problem
  
  You are correct. However, every cycle they single out one group and hit all the same fear tactics. It's not new or innovative but it has the same deadly results.
  Trump losing won't change the party viewpoint. It will just make them more secretive. Closet racists again.
  
  The "first they came for..." quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don't systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it's opportune.
  
  Except cis hetero christian white men.
