After the 2016 presidential election, Gregg Phillips of True the Vote claimed, without evidence, he had “verified” that over 3 million votes had been cast by noncitizens — just enough to wipe out Hillary Clinton’s margin in the popular vote tally. https://t.co/Zz3fflw3fd

Is it to protect a valuable insider or to protect the grift? Because I don't know...
But I do know their lies are leading to voter intimidation and vote suppression right now.
UPDATE: I mean, and always have, stuff like True the Vote is always an op. Big money is spent telling dumb motherfuckers to go out and do maybe illegal stuff because of vague and manipulated data and it is not some grassroots concern--it's always big wheels turning. The idea that people will be arrested for interfering with actual lawful voting (because voter intimidation is a crime) could become a casus belli for people who want to fight for the right to deny anyone the vote because of some outward stigmata of brownness, youth, or gender fuckery that makes legal papers bearing one's proper gender an issue (that common sense could easily resolve, but in tetchy ridiculous civil rights tribunal terms, would not be).
I like anything that tells these bigoted fucks "No." Like staying their armed and ready asses from continuing to intimidate voters.
