This has been a contention that conservatives has claimed for some time ;and the Dems have denied .
Now there is no question that is true.
Texas Repub Rep Chip Roy introduced a bill that would require proof of citizenship for ALL voters .

He says it is already unlawful for illegals to vote. That is not the point . The point is current Federal law currently PROHIBITS states from verifying citizenship status during registration for federal elections

The threat to the integrity of U.S. elections is a result of poorly designed provisions of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA also known as Motor-Voter), a federal law enacted in 1993. The NVRA does not require states to ask for proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote in federal elections. Rather, the NVRA relies on individuals to merely attest they are a citizen and eligible to vote. In 44 states, if an individual completes and signs the universal NVRA form (Form), then the state is required by federal law to register that person to vote. There is a danger that the NVRA loophole, combined with the Biden Administration’s willful disregard of U.S. immigration law that has allowed the U.S. foreign-born population to grow by 5.1 million[2] people in the last two years alone and by 6.6 million since President Biden took office, could lead to millions of noncitizens registering to vote. Should this happen, it would jeopardize the integrity of our elections, turning the outcome of the 2024 election over to foreign persons and potentially even foreign interests. Democrats and the media have downplayed the threat to election integrity that a lack of citizenship verification poses when an individual registers to vote in federal elections. Democrats and their media apparatchik falsely assert there are strict requirements already in place when an individual uses the NVRA Form. For example, a recent Associated Press article asserted the following: [A]nyone registering provides their Social Security number, driver’s license or state ID, [David] Becker [executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research] said. That means they already have shown the government proof of citizenship to receive those documents, or if they are a noncitizen with a state ID or Social Security number, they have been clearly classified that way in the state’s records.[3] Unfortunately, this statement is not true.

Joe says Federal Law is working as intended . That is an outright lie that can only be corrected by changes to Federal law.
The integrity of the vote is one of the most important safeguards of a "democracy" ......and we know the Dems worship "our democracy" .
But their actions speak louder than their words.
