Why did we request a citizenship check to vote now? Because the deadline to register just passed. See more facts from my office below. Illegal immigrants should not vote/
FACTS:
– Only citizens are eligible to vote in our elections. That shouldn’t be controversial.
– It is a felony under Indiana and federal law for an ineligible person to register to vote or cast a ballot.
– If election officials receive proof that an individual is ineligible to vote—at any time, up to and including election day— they can challenge their eligibility to vote.
– After registration closed on Oct. 7, we asked the USCIS to verify the citizenship status of all voters who registered in Indiana without providing state-issued forms of identification.
– Individuals CAN register to vote without providing proof of citizenship. Because of this, it’s possible for ineligible noncitizens to attempt to register. Asking USCIS to help confirm citizenship is therefore a commonsense step to ensure the integrity of our elections. And it is something that numerous other states have done and are doing.
– If you are a citizen and are registered to vote, we are protecting your right to do so without having your vote diluted by illegal ballots.
– The outrage from the Left over common sense measures to protect our elections tells you everything you need to know.
