1. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has removed HUNDREDS of eligible US citizens from the voter rolls in a botched effort to legtimize Trump's conspiracy theory that large numbers of undocumented immigrants are illegally voting in US elections. Now the RNC and the Trump campaign are suing other states to force them to follow Alabama's lead 🧵

2. One of the central narratives that former President Donald Trump and his allies are pushing is that Democrats are planning to steal the election by using undocumented immigrants to pad their vote totals. It is an absurd claim rooted in a white nationalist conspiracy theory.

3. On August 13, 2024, Allen announced he had "identified 3,251 individuals registered to vote in Alabama" that he suspected were non-citizens and immediately inactivated their registrations. That was a mistake.

4. According to a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice on September 27, at least "717 of the 3,251 individuals" targeted by Allen were U.S. citizens eligible to vote. The total number could be far higher.

5. The 717 people who have had their voting rights restored in Alabama submitted "paperwork that includes confirmation of U.S. citizenship." Oops.

6. How did Allen get things so wrong? He inactivated voter registrations based on a list of people who had received a driver's license or ID Card from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency as a foreign national. But these cards are valid for up to 8 years. And Alabama does not

7. Allen sent all the people who whose registrations were inactivated a letter and hundreds have responded with proof of citizenship. But as of September 18, 2,428 individuals targeted by Allen had not responded at all. So the actual number of citizens impacted could be much

8. Nevertheless, in an effort to substantiate false claims of rampant voter fraud by undocumented immigrants, Republicans around the country are suing elected officials in key states like Nevada, Wisconsin and North Carolina -- seeking last-minute voter purges based on motor

9. Want to share the facts about Trump-supporting election officials invalidating the voter registrations of US citizens? It's all right here with links to primary sources:
