Trump and Allies File Lawsuits Claiming Non-Citizen Voting Ahead of Election

Lawsuits in swing states challenge voter registration procedures, citing concerns over election integrity despite limited evidence.

Donald Trump and Republican allies have filed at least eight lawsuits in four key swing states, alleging that non-citizens may be registered to vote.
Legal experts and democracy advocates argue that these claims lack substantial evidence and are part of a strategy to undermine confidence in the election.
In Arizona, nearly 100,000 voters were found registered without proof of citizenship, prompting a legal dispute over their eligibility to vote in state elections.
Federal law prohibits significant changes to voter rolls within 90 days of an election, complicating efforts to remove potentially ineligible voters.
Previous studies and investigations have shown that instances of non-citizen voting are extremely rare, with minimal impact on election outcomes.
