18 U.S. Code § 611
Very simple cut and dry issue. It is illegal
Methods put in place to prevent this illegal activity is well within the Federal governments role to maintain legal framework of the United States.
quote:
(a) It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner
quote:
(b) Any person who violates this section shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Thank goodness we have republicans to 'fight' for us.
They will appear to be weak on this because they are.

The case referenced, and it's not new.
quote:
The Supreme Court has interpreted the Elections Clause expansively, enabling states to provide a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns.2

Thank goodness we have lawyers and laws that protect from technology corruption into our elections. Oh wait…

It can still be voted on and signed into law by Trump.

The signed into law from trump is not an issue. The dems and RINO faction will never do it. It would remove them from their position.

U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, the Court explained: [T]he Framers understood the Elections Clause as a grant of authority to issue procedural regulations, and not as a source of power to dictate electoral outcomes, to favor or disfavor a class of candidates, or to evade important constitutional restraints.
quote:
The Supreme Court has held that Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, provides for Congress, not the courts, to regulate how states exercise their authority over Senate and House elections,
Wouldn’t the two excerpts imply that Congress has the authority to establish procedural regulations to ensure states comply with “constitutional restraints”? Ie requiring ID and citizenship?

That's about more the review process than the regulation process.
Just past that is this:
The court is specifically referencing review at the federal level, too. If you keep reading, the USSC specifically authorizes state judicial review of state legislature action re: election regulations.

For example, in its 2019 Rucho v. Common Cause decision, the Court held that partisan gerrymandering claims—claims that one political party has gerrymandered congressional districts to the disadvantage of the other party—are not justiciable by courts because the only provision in the Constitution [Article I, Section 4, Clause 1] that specifically addresses the matter assigns it to the political branches17 and such claims present political questions—outside the courts’ competence and therefore beyond the courts’ jurisdiction—that are not for courts to decide.

SFP believe the Supreme “Court” is much more important than any of the other branches. Their interpretations are the word of God that can never be challenged
