Survey: Are States Doing Enough to Stop Illegal Immigrants from Voting?
A recent national survey by Rasmussen Reports conducted in August reveals that 32% of likely U.S. voters believe that election officials in their state have either done nothing to prevent illegal immigrants from voting or have not addressed the issue at all. Meanwhile, 20% of respondents say that officials have taken some action, but it is insufficient. Eighteen percent (18%) think the steps announced by election officials appear effective in tackling the risk of illegal immigrant voting, while eight percent (8%) believe that officials have presented a detailed and effective plan to address the issue.
Across all demographic groups, more likely voters think that their states have done little or nothing to stop illegal immigrants from voting, with except for those between 18 to 39 years of age and liberals they most likely to think that they have done nothing.
According to the Capital Research Center, after the Mark Zuckerberg spent $419 million to influence the 2020 election, 28 states banned or limited private financing of government election offices because of concerns about outside groups funding election interference activities. But only 11% of voters believe election officials in their state have taken appropriate steps to prevent outside-funded election advisory groups from interfering with public employees running state election systems. Fourteen percent (14%) say their state officials are taking modest steps toward preventing outside interference, and 17% say officials in their state have taken some steps but not enough.
