Original Note:
In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections. https://web.archive.org/web/20170320190730/http://www.visalaw.com/iirira-96-a-summary-of-the-new-immigration-bill/ To date, 7 state constitutions explicitly require citizenship for voting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-citizen_suffrage_in_the_United_States#Only_citizens_clause Studies on the effectiveness of illegal non-citizen voting are contradicting. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0261379414000973 https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy/The%20Truth%20About%20Voter%20Fraud.pdf
