The project handbook serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of U.S. citizenship and elections, the categorization of non-citizens, and the pivotal issues surrounding non-citizen voting.
It meticulously outlines who is considered an American citizen, from those born on U.S. soil to those who achieve citizenship through naturalization or other legal means. Furthermore, it delves into the various classifications of non-citizens residing in the United States, ranging from lawful permanent residents to undocumented immigrants, and addresses the legal and societal implications of non-citizen voting—a practice that challenges the integrity of our electoral system.
What is a Citizen?
As the nation grapples with evolving immigration patterns and policies, this handbook provides a timeline of significant changes affecting voter demographics and registration laws. It highlights the urgency for election officials, particularly Secretaries of State, to uphold rigorous standards in maintaining the accuracy of voter rolls and safeguarding the electoral process.
Through comprehensive analysis and a call to action, the handbook empowers advocates to fortify the sanctity of elections against the backdrop of ongoing national debates over identity verification, border security, and electoral integrity.
Failure to protect US elections from illegal non-citizen voting directly conflicts with constitutional and legal principles that reserve participation rights for U.S. citizens. It risks undermining election integrity, potentially influencing outcomes and public policy in ways that may not reflect the citizenry’s will.
Failure to protect U.S. elections could also significantly undermine public trust in the process, as the perception of non-citizen influence on election results may lead to decreased confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of American institutions.
Call to Action: What Can You Do About Non-Citizen Voting
1. Contact your Sec of State and other elected officials to demand your elections be protected from non-citizen voters. Citizenship verification must be conducted before November. Ask them to publish their process for verification – this should be in the public domain!
2. Contact your Representatives in Congress. Ask them to issue a public statement confirming they will safeguard our elections by preparing to defend against an Executive Order or any other effort to grant immediate citizenship to a multimillion migrant voting bloc.
3. Help review and report ineligible voter records with IV3.us.
4. Leaving no polling place unmanned. Check your state info here about how to apply for election service with your county, state, or party.
5. Spread the word! From Scan. Check. Protect., to Voto Honesto, and our toolkits, podcasts, and trainings, you can use all the resources on our website to help strengthen election integrity in your own backyard.
