The myth that immigrants are exerting undue influence on American elections has been floating around U.S. politics for more than 100 years.
Individual states began banning noncitizens from voting more than a century ago, and Congress passed a law in 1996 that explicitly banned the practice in all federal elections.
Numerous studies have also confirmed that it almost never happens, but as more conservative voters say immigration is a key issue for them, it’s become clearer that election misinformation in 2024 will center on the topic as well.
