In a recent election, voters in five states—Kansas, Alaska, Arkansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia—approved measures to bar noncitizens from voting, with support levels exceeding 60%. This follows a Gallup poll indicating that 83% of Americans favor requiring proof of citizenship for first-time voters. Meanwhile, similar measures failed in California and Arizona.
