The right to vote is a cornerstone of electoral democracy, but a new study suggests that support for this principle often hinges on the perception of who will benefit. The findings shed light on a hotly debated topic of noncitizen voting rights in the United States.
Trump has already made unfounded statements on this topic, such as in 2016 when he created a committee to look into the matter after blaming immigration voting for his defeat in the popular vote. It was dissolved before there was a single instance of a non-citizen voting. He and other Republicans have recently stepped up their conspiracy theories over the problem of the southern border migration surge under Biden, claiming Democrats are allowing them in to register them as voters.
