Voters in eight states have approved Republican-sponsored constitutional amendments that would clearly state how only American citizens have the right to vote in elections, NBC News projected.
A majority of voters in Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin passed the constitutional amendments that bans non-citizens from voting in local and state elections.
Those opposed to the amendments say the action is unnecessary and only fuels what they say is an inaccurate concern that non-citizens are voting in sufficient numbers to sway elections. Although all states prohibit non-citizens from voting in state and federal elections, some municipal governments are encouraging non-citizens to vote at that level. Supporters of the amendments say they are necessary because non-citizens have been known to vote in jurisdictions where they are prohibited from doing so. Virginia had to appeal to the Supreme Court after a federal court sided with the Biden-Harris administration to force the state to allow non-citizens to vote.
The amendments passed in Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin correct any vagaries in the current legislation by specifically noting that “only” citizens are entitled to vote instead of affirming that “every citizen” or “all citizens” possess that right. Idaho and Kentucky have opted to insert the line “no person who is not a citizen of the United States” can vote into their state constitutions.
Critics of the changes do not say how any reiteration that only citizens can vote could create problems or generate any misunderstanding, especially given the vast numbers of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States in the last four years and could now face deportation under the coming administration of President Donald Trump.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
