  • The Des Moines Register collected data from 97 of Iowa's 99 counties, showing at least 28% of those wrongly flagged by state proved citizenship, voted

The article from the Des Moines Register discusses a challenge by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate regarding voter citizenship verification. Pate has initiated a process to check the citizenship status of approximately 1,400 registered voters in Iowa, following concerns raised by a group called the Public Interest Legal Foundation. This group identified potential non-citizens on the voter rolls, leading to Pate's office sending out letters to verify citizenship. The article notes that while the number of non-citizen voters is small, the issue has sparked debate over election integrity and voter suppression. Pate's office has confirmed that only a few individuals have been found to have voted illegally, with actions taken to remove them from the voter rolls. The process has been criticized by some as potentially disenfranchising eligible voters due to errors or outdated information, while supporters argue it's necessary to maintain the integrity of elections.
