AP: Voting by Noncitizens Is Extremely Rare, but Trump Is Fueling Attempts to Overhaul Elections

So the Associated Press admits that noncitizens are voting in our elections, but it's "extremely rare." What does that mean? Do noncitizens rarely get caught voting? One noncitizen voting is one too many. The acceptable number is zero. But the AP has noticed that President Donald Trump is raising the alarm over illegal aliens voting "to fuel attempts to overhaul elections." Yeah, we know, and it's a good thing. That's why the SAVE America Act is a good thing.

Check out this unbiased reporting from Mike Catalini and Ali Swenson:

The drumbeat by President Donald Trump and his allies about the perceived threats of voting by people who are not U.S. citizens is getting louder as the November election approaches.

He is pushing to have the U.S. Postal Service send mail ballots only to voters verified as U.S. citizens. The Census Bureau promoted a dubious report about thousands of noncitizens voting in 2020, an election that the Republican lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is claiming without providing evidence that 250,000 noncitizens might be on the rolls in just four states.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced last month that 6,600 noncitizens were added to the state's voter rolls due to a software error during the previous administration — the software error being noncitizens pressing "Yes" when asked by the kiosk, "Are you a citizen?"

So, how rare is noncitizen voting, guys? "In fact, voting by noncitizens is extremely rare and is punishable as a felony that carries the potential for deportation," they say. Isn't it their job as journalists to find out just how many counts as "extremely rare"? The Associated Press is claiming, without providing evidence, that there aren't 250,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls.

Blue states won't share their voter rolls with the federal government so that DHS can check for illegals registered to vote.

Why isn't that the story? Blue state governors are suing the Trump administration to stop efforts to secure elections. Interview a few of them and get them to explain exactly why Trump's attempts to overhaul elections are a bad thing.

That would make a good story if there were any journalists left.
