Democrats Admit It: If Noncitizens Can't Vote, They Can't Win

Commentary

Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin just said the quiet part out loud: proof of citizenship and voter ID would make it "hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.


That raises a simple question: if proving you're a U.S. citizen makes it harder for Democrats to win elections, why?


Across the country, Democrats keep telling on themselves:

  • Sen. Elissa Slotkin claimed the SAVE America Act would make it "hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election" and accused supporters of trying to "rig our democracy." 
  • Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson blasted requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, dismissing noncitizen voting as "very, very, very rare isolated incidents" and calling additional safeguards "onerous."
  • James Talarico backed a voter outreach strategy targeting voters described as "likely to be removed or purged from the rolls."
  • Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison admitted the Democrat strategy, pointing to voters who were not naturalized in the last election and vowing, "we're going to get them all this election."
  • Sen. Chuck Schumer attacked the SAVE America Act as making it "harder to vote and easier to steal an election" because it requires proof of citizenship to register.

"Democrats know they can’t win, so they’re trying to cheat and break the rules. Congress should pass the SAVE America Act immediately and ensure only American citizens decide our elections." – Ally Triolo, RNC Election Integrity Communications Director
