A majority of voters believe that a large number of illegal immigrants will be able to vote in this year’s election. The poll results come as concerns over noncitizens voting in federal elections has grown in the GOP. 

According to a recent poll from the Napolitan News Service, 54 percent of registered voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that illegal immigrants will cast ballots. Specifically, 27 percent of respondents said it was "somewhat likely," while another 27 percent described it as "very likely." 



The poll also highlighted strong opposition to the idea of allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections, with 75 percent of respondents expressing disapproval. Additionally, an overwhelming 87 percent of those surveyed are in favor of requiring voter identification for elections. The survey was conducted online by founder of Rasmussen Reports, Scott Rasmussen, and ran from August 20 to 21. The questions were given to 1,000 registered voters.  

Although it is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, some politicians have raised concerns that individuals might still manage to be included in voter rolls or vote illegally. On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his office is launching an investigation into reports that certain groups in Texas may be violating state and federal laws by registering noncitizens to vote.

"Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” Paxton said in a statement, referring to nonprofit organizations that have been accused of attempting to increase voter registration efforts among noncitizens.

The issue of voter identification has been a hot topic in recent political debates as well. Just this week, the Supreme Court upheld an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration in state elections, a decision that has further fueled discussions on election security and voter fraud.
