GOP targets 'noncitizen voting.' Experts agree it's not a problem

Republicans are laying the groundwork for an updated version of the false "voter fraud" claims made four years ago .

This time their target is so-called noncitizen voting, a practice dismissed by both sides of the aisle as rare and inconsequential.

By law, only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote for president and other top federal offices.

In California , the racist myth of immigrant voter fraud goes back at least to 1988 , when Republicans in a battle over a state legislative seat hired security guards to police Latino neighborhoods.

In 1998 , nearly 750 immigrants were removed from the Orange County voter rolls after being improperly registered to vote before they were sworn in as U.S. citizens.

A November ballot measure would grant noncitizens limited voting power in local elections by 2028 .
