Republicans promote voter ID amendment after new allegation of noncitizen voter registration

For its part, the Michigan Department of State is warning to not take the video’s claims as fact without further review. 

“Groups like this have a history of manufacturing shock videos that turn out to be false once the facts come to light. That said, we take every allegation of illegal activity seriously and will review these claims to see if they are supported by evidence. 

“Nothing in the video shows evidence of people voting illegally in Michigan. In fact, the only thing this video seems to show is an 'investigative reporter' claiming to be somebody else during an election. In-person voter impersonation is a felony in Michigan,” an emailed statement from department spokesperson Angela Benander read...

SAVE Tool Keeps Mistakenly Flagging Voters as Noncitizens, Sparking Confusion for States — ProPublica

Widespread Errors: An expanded federal tool for identifying noncitizens on voter rolls is making persistent mistakes, particularly in assessing citizenship for people born outside the U.S. 

 Banned From Voting: In Missouri, state officials told local clerks to temporarily ban flagged voters from casting ballots, even though hundreds turned out to be citizens. 

Texas Confusion: As errors emerged in SAVE data, local clerks said the state hadn't provided them with clear guidance and worried about disenfranchising eligible citizens...

Trump administration ramps up its war on young voters with Tufts University probe

"Over the past few years, the outpouring of political punditry about the MAGA movement's supposed appeal among young voters has largely obscured Donald Trump and his allies' brazen efforts to discourage many of those voters from reaching the polls."

Here are 8 things to know about the Trump-backed SAVE Act : NPR

But one in 10 voting-age American citizens, or an estimated 21.3 million people, either don't have a proof-of-citizenship document like a birth certificate, passport or naturalization certificate, or don't have easy access to one, according to a 2023 survey commissioned by voting rights groups.

The November election that still hasn’t been certified - The Atlantic

"The problem is not that no one knows who won. Justice Allison Riggs, an incumbent Democrat, won by a tiny margin—just 734 votes out of 5,723,987. That tally has been confirmed by two recounts. But certification is paused while Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin, a judge on the state court of appeals, asks courts to throw out roughly 60,000 votes and put him on the state's highest court. 

The votes that Griffin has challenged fall into three groups. Most are from North Carolina residents whose voter registrations don't include driver's license or Social Security numbers. Although this is now required by law, these voters registered using old forms that did not require either; the state never asked these voters to reregister. The second set belongs to overseas residents who have never lived in the state, such as the adult children of North Carolinians who live abroad; state law entitles them to vote in-state. A third consists of overseas voters, including some members of the military, who didn't submit photo identification with their ballot, again because it was not required."…
