Shortly before the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, social media users shared a video of a voter registration drive in Palm Beach, Florida, to raise questions about noncitizens voting in U.S. elections.
FILE - A Florida voter registration application is shown, Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020, at the Miami-Dade County Elections Department in Doral, Fla. Social media users are sharing a video of a voter registration drive in Florida to raise questions about noncitizen voting in U.S. elections. CLAIM: A video shows a worker at a voter registration drive in Florida registering people to vote without asking for proof of citizenship.
“‘Mi Familia Vota’ worker in Palm Beach is registering voters near the DMV,” reads one X post that shared the video. “Proof of citizenship isn’t required.” It had received approximately 21,000 likes and 11,700 shares as of Wednesday. “Mi Familia en Acción is a non-partisan organization, voter registrations are part of our day-to-day work to strengthen our democracy,” the organization wrote in a statement. “We do not encourage or register non-citizens to vote.”
“I’m concerned of fraudulent registrations by noncitizens, I’m concerned about synthetic identities, and we need to tighten this up in the state of Florida or our elected officials who certify the elections, they’ll be committing perjury when they certify the 2024 election,” he continued.
