GOP -led states say they’re prepared to move on citizenship requirements with or without Congress .

Noncitizen voting is extremely rare, with academic studies finding just a handful of examples out of tens of millions of ballots cast over many years .

Republicans say more safeguards are needed to keep noncitizens from voting and contend critics’ concerns are overblown.

Next month , New Hampshire will get the first test of its citizenship law when it conducts town elections.

Noncitizens are barred from voting in all state and federal elections, but they are allowed to vote in school or municipal elections in Washington , D.C. , and 18 communities.

Noncitizen voting rarely happens in state or federal elections.

A federal judge in 2018 struck down Kansas ’s proof-of-citizenship law.

About 200,000 longtime voters are being asked to prove their citizenship to stay on the rolls.

The state Supreme Court allowed those voters to cast ballots in November .

The largest share — almost 75,000 — are Republicans , according to state data.
