AMAC Advocates have also helped pass legislation in Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Wyoming, and Florida to secure elections, including cracking down on ballot harvesting and ballot tampering. Last year alone, AMAC Advocates helped block dangerous ranked-choice voting bills in Idaho, Montana, and Illinois. One of the biggest victories for elec- tion integrity came last fall in North Carolina, where AMAC Action helped pass an election security bill that included provisions to protect poll watchers, institute safeguards against illegal ballot harvesting, and require mail-in ballots to be received by Elec- tion Day. CONTINUING THREATS Despite critical efforts to secure the next election from widespread fraud, the need for continued vigilance has never been higher. Democrat politicians, especially in swing states, have fought to stop election integrity legislation from passing. In Wisconsin, for instance,
without any significant account- ability measures to check their citizenship status. Other swing states such as Michigan are now considering similar action to allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses. This could potentially allow thousands of people to vote ille- gally, the vast majority of whom will vote Democrat. Under a Biden executive order signed in 2021, every federal agency is also required to register to vote anyone who comes into contact with the agency. It is currently unclear what documentation, if any, these individu- als must show to prove they are eligi- ble to vote. With more than nine million people having entered the country illegally since Biden took office, the threat of noncitizens voting is higher than ever. Meanwhile, Democrat politicians and prosecutors are also engaged in an unprecedented attempt to remove Republican frontrunner Donald Trump from the ballot in several states. As The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway put it in testimony to the House Administration Commit- tee, “Instead of voters being able to vote for the candidate of their choice, powerful interests backed by wealthy oligarchs are working to remove the most popular candidate and the ruling party’s chief opponent from the ballot in a move reminiscent of Soviet Russia.”
Democrat Governor Tony Evers vetoed two bills banning the private funding of elections. Perhaps the most serious emerging threat today, which has been docu- mented extensively by well-known conservative attorney Cleta Mitchell with the Conservative Partnership Institute, is the prospect of nonciti- zens voting. While illegal aliens voting has long been a concern, the ongo- ing crisis at the southern border has made the problem more urgent than at any time in American history. Although federal criminal law prohib- its non-citizens from voting in federal elections, caveats in local election law could allow illegal aliens to ille- gally skirt this requirement and vote undetected. For instance, states such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Wisconsin allow the use of student IDs to vote. Foreign students are still issued student IDs, creating a potential pool of illegal voters that could influence election outcomes. Nineteen states and Washington, DC have also enacted laws allow- ing illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses. Since these nonciti-
zens have a photo ID, there is serious cause for concern that they could register to vote
