Former President Donald Trump and some Republicans have had concerns about noncitizens voting in the presidential election, and a battleground state is doing something about it.
Georgia is posting signs at polling places warning noncitizens that they could be prosecuted if they vote, Just The News reported.
The former president was barely defeated in the state in 2020 and his phone call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was the basis of a criminal case against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The former president and Secretary of State have been at odds since that election but it is Raffensperger who had the signs placed at the state’s 2,400 polling locations in English and Spanish.
“Only United States citizens may vote in Georgia,” the signs say.
“If you are not a United States citizen, it is a violation of state and federal law to vote,” they say.
The secretary of state was one of the first people to sound the alarm on the increasing number of noncitizens voting.
“One of voters’ top concerns are actually out-of-control borders, out-of-control illegal immigration. But then you know it also would be non-citizen voting. Voters are concerned, not just in Georgia, but I think in all other 49 states,” he said on “Just the News, No Noise.”
He said that the signs are not only present to prevent those who want to vote in violation of the law but also to warn immigrants who are well meaning but unaware.
Harris and most other Democrats have opposed nearly all efforts to shore up voter integrity.
“We also let people know that perhaps aren’t a citizen that if you vote, you know this could actually have severe consequences, not just today, but then when you then go through that process of becoming an American citizen,” the secretary of state said.
“That’s the kind of thing that’s going to really hang you up, and you won’t be able to get, you know, your citizenship because you voted in American election. And we don’t want people to jeopardize their citizenship down the road if they go through the lawful process,” he said.
The former president had also been in a feud with Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, but that ended in August.
“We gotta win from the top of the ticket on down,” the governor said to Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I’ve been saying consistently for a long time we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are to be even worse. So we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House.”
The former president responded on his TruthSocial account, embracing the governor.
“Thank you to #BrianKempGA for all of your support and help in Georgia, where a win is so important to the success of our Party and, most importantly, our Country. I look forward to working with you, your team, and all of my friends in Georgia to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he said.
He also spoke about the endorsement when he spoke to Fox News host Bret Baier after Vice President Kamala Harris was officially nominated as the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate.
“Two quick things as we wrap up here, Mr. President. Tomorrow, do you expect to be endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and are you making a specific effort in Georgia to make up, if you will, with the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp?” the host said.
“Well, I just saw Brian. He’s a very good man. Did you ever hear of a man named Sean Hannity? He was interviewed by Sean Hannity, and he was very nice. He said he wants Trump to win, and he’s going to work with me 100%, and I think we’re going to have a very good relationship with Brian Kemp. That was on just before you people,” the former president said.
It is not the first time, including during their feud, that the Republican Georgia governor said he would support the former president when President Joe Biden was assumed to be the Democratic Party nominee.
