FF: The Fight to Keep the Ballot Box Exclusively for Citizens with Jack Tomczak
Description
Most Americans — across every party, gender, and demographic — agree that only US citizens should vote in US elections, yet here we are having to fight for something that sounds like the most obvious principle in the world. I sat down with Jack Tomczak from Americans for Citizen Voting to break down exactly how we got here: a constitutional loophole that could allow non-citizens to vote in congressional elections if a state legalizes non-citizen voting at the state legislative level. Jack's organization has already amended the constitutions of 15 states to close this door, and now they're pushing House Joint Resolution 152 through Congress to lock it in federally. With 90% of Americans on board — a number that makes even voter ID look controversial by comparison — this should be a layup, yet the politics are anything but simple. We dig into the LA mayor's race, the erosion of trust in our elections, and why the only honest reason to oppose this amendment is if you actually want non-citizens voting. Jack's optimistic it can get through Congress this summer, and honestly, after hearing his case, it's hard not to share that optimism.
