Trump and Mike Johnson will introduce a invoice to forestall noncitizens from voting though it’s already unlawful for noncitizens to vote.
Punchbowl Information reported, “Johnson is scheduled to look with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to introduce a invoice that might make it unlawful for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. In fact, it’s been unlawful for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, and there’s no proof it occurs, regardless of Trump’s claims in any other case. And a Trump-Johnson proposal like this may by no means move the Senate.”
CNN added:
We’vWe’verd there are going to speak about two issues. One factor is that they’re anticipated to re-litigate the 2020 election, which isn’isn’tt shocking since each of them tried to overturn that election. Johnson was truly key behind the scenes, making an attempt to get these congressional signatures on a lawsuit and Texas that might have tried to overturn the election, however the different massive factor that they appear to be speaking about is this concept of noncitizens voting. There’s a dialog about whether or not they’they’reg to current some sort of invoice, however we all know that they’re going to attract consideration to this situation. Now, I wish to be very clear. There’s at the moment a federal ban on noncitizens voting in federal elections. So that may be a non-issue.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson can be holding a pointless occasion to as soon as once more declare that the 2020 election was stolen, and to suggest a legislation that already exists.
Trump and Johnson can be attacking the belief that the American folks have within the election course of whereas humiliating themselves with a proposal that’s nothing greater than a pretense to push a conspiracy concept.
Right here is hoping that cable information places democracy first and doesn’t fall for Trump’s anti-democracy con.
