In late July, a group of Republican activists met on a Zoom call to discuss preparations for the November election. The topic was how to keep undocumented immigrants from voting in November, a problem they claim, inaccurately, to be a looming threat to a fair election.
One woman, a local party chair from Georgia, recommended scouring school enrollment figures to find neighborhoods with large numbers of migrants. Another, Darlene Hennessy, an activist from the Detroit area, recommended hanging up signs in “ethnic” neighborhoods warning people not to vote if they were not eligible. She also suggested searching voter rolls for certain types of surnames.
“I think it’s unfortunate, but sometimes the only way you can find out is to look for ethnic names,” Ms. Hennessy said, according to a recording of the call obtained by The New York Times.
“We don’t want to be doing anything illegal,” she added.
There is no indication that noncitizens are voting in large numbers. And yet the notion that they will flood the polls — and vote overwhelmingly for Democrats — is animating a sprawling network of Republicans who mobilized around former President Donald J. Trump’s false claims of a rigged election in 2020 and are now preparing for the next one.
Activists like Ms. Hennessy, prominent lawyers, Republican lawmakers, right-wing influencers and other allies of Mr. Trump have ramped up pressure on local election officials to take steps that they say will keep noncitizens from tilting the election in Democrats’ favor. They have pressed for voter roll purges, filed lawsuits, prepared for on-the-ground monitoring of polling places and spread misinformation online.

I thought it was “Republicans Pounce”.
The NYT is like a gaslight, Astroturf, projection and lies Black hole.
“There is no indication that noncitizens are voting in large numbers.”
LOL- as per the NYSlimes, its okay illegals are voting because there’s no indication its happening in large numbers...
Yup. You can’t even call it “bias”. It’s just straight up manipulation.
Yup, and they forgot the “baseless” in the title, too.
IMO, the main problem is having these illegal aliens on voter rolls. Not that the bulk of them are actually voting themselves, but the fact that the cheaters use these names on the voter rolls and submit fraudulent ballots in their names.
Those votes are never audited nor double checked as far as I can tell. The media certainly never bothered to follow up or investigate all of those mysterious 3 am votes that conveniently showed up after most people went to bed on election night.
If the democrats thought there was a chance in heck the “newcomers” would be a positive for republicans or America, they’d have placed landmines and machine guns along the entire border.
Lololol. The NYT is America’s great humor resource. Thanks for the laugh, baby killers.
NYT says it. They believe it. That settles it.
The Kamala Bots will swallow it.
American Pravda.
“No News in the Truth, and no Truth in the News” - Old Russian saying about Izvestia (News) and Pravda (Truth)... both Soviet controlled “news” sources.
False my azz. The NYT putting out more “misinformation.” You can’t believe that bunch. After successfully putting their Jamaican Queen up on a pedestal they don’t even bother to use their Fart Checkers anymore.
When the LEFTISTS deny vehemently that non-citizen are registering to vote, you know it is happening big time.
But I am concerned that the Republicans are playing dumb and are not really looking very hard to see if non-citizens are registered to vote.
It seems the big hammer is for the House to add the SAVE Act to the CR at the end of Sept.
No money for government until the voter rolls are deemed clean.
Illegals are not voting, the Democrats are voting for them.
If citizenship is a mandate to vote in elections (minimally Federal) then this isn’t complicated, partisan, or worthy of explanation. The answer is NO. If you cannot vote, you shouldn’t be registered to vote.
If a State is enabling lawful Federal votes to be mixed with unlawful voters - the State should count as ZERO votes in the Federal election. The disenfranchisement would be the fault of State, and the States electorate should hold State officials personally responsible for not following the law.

If the New York Times says X, then Y is likely what is happening. They are all political hacks and a propaganda arm of the Democratic party.
I didn’t know theories could be false. They are after all theories. Only I guess when it suits the propaganda purposes of the New York Times.
