Editorial
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. Republicans seem to think that laws of this kind will help them win elections, but burdensome rules like these - and others cropping up around the country - pose a serious threat to democracy and should be stopped.

...according to a New York Times editorial this morning. The paper takes on Missouri's proposed voter id law, calling the effort a ploy by republicans to reduce the turnout of eligible voters.
The Times writes that Missouri and 11 other states are hoping to pass id legislation to prevent non-citizens from voting and that there is no evidence that this is a significant problem. But they do believe showing a photo id will keep eligible voters from the polls.
When the argument for or against voter id laws uses non-citizen voting as cause and effect it distracts us from other possibilities in voting irregularities such as the Acorn group now facing trial or penalties for their fraudulent voter registration efforts.

There is no evidence that voting by noncitizens is a significant problem. Illegal immigrants do their best to remain in the shadows, to avoid attracting government attention and risking deportation. It is hard to imagine that many would walk into a polling place, in the presence of challengers and police, and try to cast a ballot.
