Notably, black voters overwhelmingly support (56 percent) reserving the right of choosing America’s leaders to American citizens only. The history of America’s black population is one of struggle for equal rights of citizenship and access to the ballot box. America’s black community sacrificed enormously to be treated equally in the United States, a fight that continues to this day.

As a legislator and as secretary of state, I’ve seen how members of Georgia’s black population build strong communities. They create vibrant businesses, are committed to their faith, and have and still do overcome significant adversity to build a better America. They understand the value of their citizenship, having given so much to obtain it.

It was also no surprise that 63 percent of Hispanic respondents support citizens-only voting in the United States. Georgia’s Hispanic community is vibrant and growing. The Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a crucial part of the Peach State’s business community. American Latinos too have a long history of surmounting obstacles in this country and have achieved remarkable success.

Unlike woke Democrats in big liberal cities, America’s Hispanic community knows U.S. citizenship is a valuable commodity and understands the risks in cheapening it with noncitizen voting.
