Trump and Mike Johnson will introduce a invoice to bar non-citizens from voting, despite the fact that it’s already unlawful for non-citizens to vote.
“Johnson is to seem with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to introduce a invoice that will make it unlawful for non-citizens to vote in federal elections,” Punchbowl Information reported. Voting within the U.S. is prohibited, and regardless of Trump's claims in any other case, there isn’t any proof it’s. And such a Trump-Johnson proposal would by no means go the Senate.”
CNN stated:
We're going to speak about two issues there. For one factor, they’re anticipated to contest the 2020 election once more, which isn’t shocking since each of them tried to overturn that election. Johnson was really the important thing particular person behind the scenes, making an attempt to get Congress's signature on a lawsuit that Texas would have tried to overturn the election, however the different huge factor they appear to be speaking about is The concept of non-citizens voting. There are talks about whether or not they are going to introduce some form of invoice, however we all know they will draw consideration to the difficulty. Now, I need to be completely clear. There are presently federal restrictions on non-citizens voting in federal elections. So this isn’t a difficulty.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson will as soon as once more maintain a nonsensical occasion to assert that the 2020 election was stolen, and to suggest a legislation that already exists.
Trump and Johnson would assault the American individuals's belief within the election course of and shame themselves with a proposal that’s nothing greater than a pretense to advance a conspiracy concept.
Right here's hoping that cable information will put democracy first and never fall prey to Trump's anti-democratic deceptions.
