Moderate House Dems push for crackdown on noncitizens voting in US elections
Fox News
Two House Republicans and two House Democrats are pushing for a new bill that would expand U.S. citizens' access to primary elections while cracking down on noncitizen voting.
The pair of Democrat lawmakers’ support is significant – a bill to repeal Washington, D.C.’s policy allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections was vehemently opposed by the progressive left but wound up passing with support from 52 Democrats.

More recently, House GOP leaders ushered through legislation that would require proof of citizenship in the voter registration process earlier this month. That bill, backed by former President Trump, passed with support from five Democrats but has not been taken up by the Senate.
