Politics – Missouri and at least 19 other states are considering passing laws that would force people to prove their citizenship before they can vote. These bills are not a sincere effort to prevent noncitizens from voting; that is a made-up problem. The real aim is to reduce turnout by eligible voters.

I think the 19 states will prevail in making people prove their citizenship to vote. I can't vote in any other country so aliens should not vote in mine.
I think you're right that they will. The precedent was set with the Indiana bill.
But that doesn't change the fact that people who aren't allowed to vote are few and far between, while vote tampering, which affects tens of thousands more votes, happens all the time.
And some states still won't require paper trails on electronic voting machines. The Republicans in their state legislatures won't let them.
