President Protects The American Voter Against Anti-America Politicians 'Illegals' Voting Agenda

ENSURING CITIZENSHIP VERIFICATION AND INTEGRITY IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS

"...The right to vote in Federal elections is reserved exclusively for citizens of the United States under the Constitution and Federal law. Federal statutes explicitly prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections and impose criminal penalties for violations. ...To enhance election integrity via the United States Mail, additional measures are necessary. Secure ballot envelope identifiers provide a reliable, auditable mechanism to enforce Federal law without unduly burdening or infringing on the rights of eligible voters. Unique ballot envelope identifiers, such as bar codes, enable confirmation that only citizens receive and cast ballots, reducing the risk of fraud and protecting the integrity of Federal elections.

Sec. 2. Establishment and Transmission of State Citizenship Lists and Prioritization of Investigations and Prosecutions Related to Election Fraud. (a) To the extent feasible and consistent with applicable law"

2026 Census Test Updates | U.S. Postal Service 2026 Census Operational Test

"MARCH 23, 2026 — The U.S. Census Bureau last month announced it has modified its 2026 Census Test sites to Huntsville, Alabama, and Spartanburg, South Carolina. These sites were selected to give the Census Bureau the opportunity to explore how working with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) could increase effectiveness and how to improve in-field enumeration processes for the 2030 Census.

Starting on May 1, the Census Bureau will invite approximately 154,600 households in Spartanburg and Huntsville to respond to the test online in English only via computer, smartphone and tablet. Phone and mail responses will not be offered. The test will include the same questions asked in the American Community Survey (ACS), which collects detailed demographic, social, economic, and housing data. Questions are expected to take around 40 minutes to complete and include name, race, sex, citizenship and education.

A smaller subset of questions will be asked for households who do not respond on their own. Using the ACS allows the Census Bureau to leverage existing questions that the Census Bureau already asks.

Starting on June 1 and through August 31 when data collection ends, census takers, including postal workers, may visit households that do not respond on their own to collect responses in person. ..."
