Reporter former President Donald Trump and House Speaker mike johnson, two men who fought to overturn the 2020 election, called a press Conference Today to argue noncitizens should not be able to vote. Despite the fact its already illegal. The House Republicans are introducing a bill that will require proof of citizenship to vote. It seems like common sense. Reporter the illegal Immigration Reform and immigrant responsibly act of 1996 explicitly bans noncitizen voting in federal elections. Yet trump and his allies have falsely claimed noncitizens constantly vote in elections. The nonpartisan brennan center, which tracks voting issues, says examples of noncitizens voting are extremely rare. For the embattled speaker, todays pilgrimage to maralago was a chance to get a needed boost from the former president , as some trump allies say johnson is failing.

Reporter Antiabortion Rights Protesters were also in tucson today. And we want to protect those people that are in the womb still because they deserve to be protected. Reporter they hope to defeat a constitutional amendment protecting the procedure, likely to appear on the november ballot. I think that when arizonans come out to vote this november, i think that they are going to side against this abortion extremism in the referendum in support of the right to life. Reporter proabortion rights advocates say they have the almost 100,000 signatures needed but continue to gather more. Im ashamed as to what it says about arizona. Its its its a law that they are trying to enforce that was before women have the right to vote, before arizona was a state. Its just awful that they have gone so far backwards. Reporter dr. Deshawn taylor runs one of the eight Abortion Clinics in arizona. Its infuriating. Because abortion is health care. Reporter she says patients are confused about when the law will take effect. Abortion is currently legal up to 15 weeks. For the last couple of days, its been fairly quiet. Reporter because they think they cant get an abortion . Correct. Reporter this is an issue that will likely get voters out in november. Arizona among more than a dozen states likely to have an abortion likely on the ballot, the latest be in colorado. Norah .
