A conservative organization with ties to Donald Trump recently launched an ad campaign targeting Latino voters, warning against non-citizens voting in the upcoming presidential election. Despite evidence refuting claims of widespread illegal voting by undocumented immigrants, a majority of Americans, including 82% of Republicans, believe in this false narrative.
The ad, funded by the Article III Foundation, will air in key battleground states, spreading misinformation about the integrity of the electoral system. Trump, known for his past baseless claims of illegal voting, continues to sow doubts ahead of the election.
While federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections, some states allow them to participate in local elections. However, efforts to tighten citizenship requirements for voting may suppress legitimate voters. Despite minimal evidence of non-citizen voting, Trump persists in promoting this falsehood, causing fear among legal immigrants.
Voting is a privilege for U.S. citizens, not illegal immigrants. Know the law and be informed before Election Day.
