Fox's Maria Bartiromo helps GOP Sen. Mike Lee promote the Republican's false narrative that migrants crossing the border are going to vote in federal elections in droves and their latest voter suppression attempt based on that narrative.
Just like Speaker Mike Johnson, Lee has no proof that this is happening anywhere, but that didn't stop him from pretending people would risk going to prison by voting illegally during his interview this Sunday:
BARTIROMO: Let's talk about the bill that you are pushing, the SAVE Act, and I want to get your take on a free and fair election come November. Tell us about the SAVE Act.
LEE: Look, in our country, it's always been one citizen, one vote, and under federal law, only citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. Here's the tragic thing, Maria. Over the last three, three and a half years, since the Biden administration has been in power, they've let in about 12 million illegal aliens, or an estimated nearly 30 million noncitizens in the United States.
Currently, with the laws we have in place, the so-called motor voter law, the National Voter Registration Act, you do still have to be a citizen to vote, but the Supreme Court has interpreted it as prohibiting those at the state level who register people to vote from requiring the production of evidence of documents proving citizenship, just like you have to show when you get, say, a passport.
