‘We will find you, track you down and prosecute you to the full extent of the law’

Will illegal immigrants and noncitizens be voting in and swaying the upcoming 2024 presidential election?
A top U.S. senator is sounding the alarm about the strong possibility or even likelihood.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a member of the Senate Budget and Judiciary Committee appeared Sunday on the Fox News Channel and said: “We’ve seen it in various jurisdictions around the country. There are a handful of states including, I believe, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama who have done some investigating into their own voter registration files, and they’ve found a lot of noncitizens including a whole lot of illegal immigrants registered to vote.”
Lee told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that these states, “to their great credit, they’re doing their best to cull through those and to remove those who they believe to be illegal immigrants. And I hope other states will do the same.”
He pushed for passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, which requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections.
Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
The measure also indicates:
Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by specified sources.
