@AthrillatheHunt Since enactment of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, federal law has prohibited noncitizens from voting in federal elections, punishing them by fines, imprisonment, inadmissibility and deportation.

@Mistakesmakeus I do not refer to undocumented immigrants. You should know better.
@AthrillatheHunt I refer you to President Biden's executive order, and would invite you to investigate the claims made therein. In part, it says:

For generations, Black voters and other voters of color have faced discriminatory policies and other obstacles that disproportionally affect their communities. These voters remain more likely to face long lines at the polls and are disproportionately burdened by voter identification laws and limited opportunities to vote by mail. Limited access to language assistance remains a barrier for many voters. People with disabilities continue to face barriers to voting and are denied legally required accommodations in exercising their fundamental rights and the ability to vote privately and independently. Members of our military serving overseas, as well as other American citizens living abroad, also face challenges to exercising their fundamental right to vote.

@AthrillatheHunt Numerous laws have been passed under the pretense of making voting fair, but have actually made it harder for certain people to vote. Nothing to do with non-citizens.

@LordShadowfire “pass laws preventing certain groups from voting “ was what the OP said .
I said no such law exists , except convicted felons .
The OP then mentioned undocumented immigrants.
You now say laws make it HARDER (not illegal) for certain groups to vote .
I agree that presenting a valid ID makes it harder to vote than not having to present one .
