Election Integrity Becomes More Mainstream Despite Democratic Opposition

 From preventing non-citizen voting in U.S. elections to voter ID, Democrats have largely opposed a wide range of election integrity policies that a majority of Americans believe are necessary for the security of elections.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to make states require documentation of a person's citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections and require states to remove non-citizens from their voter rolls.

Making a false claim of citizenship or unlawfully voting in an election is punishable by removal from the United States and a permanent bar to admission.

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted last month, 66% of likely U.S. voters said that they are worried about the outcome of the 2024 presidential election being influenced by cheating.

Election integrity policies that nearly half of U.S. adults favored are banning the collection of a large number of completed ballots from voters by groups and removing voters from registration lists if they haven't recently voted or confirmed their registration.

Voter ID is one of the most popular election integrity policies, and more states have recently implemented the measure.

Currently, according to an analysis by the Movement Advancement Project, 11 states require photo ID to vote and have additional steps that are required if the voter doesn't have an ID and four states require non-photo ID and have additional steps that are required if the voter doesn't have an ID. Over the past year, Georgia, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio faced lawsuits by left-wing groups regarding their voter ID laws.
