On Sunday, White House Senior Advisor Stephen
Miller claimed 14 percent of non-citizens are
registered to vote. “We know for a fact, you have massive numbers of
non-citizens registered to vote in this country,” he said, appearing on ABC’s This Week With
George Stephanopoulos. “The White House has provided enormous evidence with respect
to voter fraud.”
Miller is repeating an assertion Trump continues to make.
It is absolutely false.
What do we do when we have a president and
White House surrogates, along with enablers in the right-wing media, who
continuously lie about something as fundamental to our democracy as whether we’ve
got massive voter fraud?
The answer is we find the truth. We spread the
truth. We continue to speak the truth. And we use every chance we have – in
opeds, in letters to editors, in local media, on national media – to state the
truth.
And we demand that big lies like this be
corrected.
A new report on voter fraud from the
Brennan Center confirms that multiple
nationwide studies have uncovered only a handful of incidents
of non-citizens voting.
Election officials agree that non-citizen voting in our elections is not a problem. The National
Association of Secretaries of State, whose Republican-majority membership includes
the chief elections officers of 40 states, said they “are not aware of any evidence
that supports the voter fraud claims made by President Trump.”
Federal
law and the laws of every state bar non-citizens
from registering to vote or voting in elections. Expertsbelieve that the severity of the
penalties for violating these laws serve as a significant deterrent. Also, it is relatively easy for a non-citizen to
get caught.
One of the most important common goods in our society is
the truth about our democracy. Trump is pulverizing that truth – laying the groundwork for more state restrictions on access to the ballot by American citizens.
