North Carolina voters are projected to have passed a constitutional amendment specifying that only U.S. citizens can vote in elections.

As of this article’s publication, preliminary results show the amendment with more than 75 percent of support from voters. The New York Times projected the proposal’s passage.

As The Federalist previously reported, the amendment stipulates that “only a citizen of the United States” who is 18 years old and meets existing voter eligibility requirements may vote in elections held in the Tar Heel State. The measure was sent to voters for approval after it was passed by the state’s Republican-controlled House (99-12) and Senate (40-4) earlier this year.

Other states to have similar initiatives on their respective 2024 ballots include  Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Idaho.

Efforts to prevent aliens from influencing American elections come amid Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border and increasing concerns that foreign nationals could exploit existing federal loopholes to interfere in America’s electoral system.

Despite attempts by their media allies to downplay such worries, Democrats have openly pushed for granting foreign nationals the ability to vote in U.S. elections. From blue cities permitting aliens to vote in their elections to elected leftists fighting efforts to repeal such policies, Democrats have made it abundantly clear where they stand on the problem.

Blue cities such as San Francisco, for example, permit some aliens — even those who are illegally present — to vote in school board races. In San Francisco, foreign nationals can even run elections: In February, the city’s board

Former President Donald Trump flipped Florida’s Miami-Dade County by approximately 11 points after losing the county in 2020 by roughly 7 points.

Florida was called shortly after 8:00 p.m. EST for Trump, with The New York Times (NYT) reporting Trump had an 11-point lead in the county with 95 percent of the reporting in. Miami-Dade, once a Democrat stronghold, also flipped for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2022 by 11 points. The last Republican presidential candidate to win Miami-Dade was George H. W. Bush in 1988.

Osceola County, which is majority Hispanic and has a “very large Puerto Rican population,” also narrowly flipped for Trump by 1.5 points, despite Democrats’ Hail Mary play to pit Puerto Ricans against Trump after a comedian cracked a joke at a recent Trump rally about Puerto Rico’s waste management. Researchers at the University of Central Florida’s Puerto Rico Research Hub recently released a poll finding 85 percent of the Puerto Rican respondents said they planned on voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Click Orlando.

Research Hub director Dr. Fernando Rivera said the jokes “really touched a very sensitive topic” and would have “ramifications.”

The county broke for Biden by nearly 14 points in 2020.

This time, Trump won Florida by 13 points and more than 1.4 million votes, according to The Times. The Miami Herald reported “no presidential candidate has won the state with such a large advantage in 36 years.”

Republican political analyst Cesar Grajales told the Miami-Herald that immigrants

Florida voters are projected to defeat two constitutional amendment proposals seeking to enshrine abortion and marijuana legalization into the state’s constitution.

As of this article’s publication, preliminary election results show both initiatives below the 60 percent threshold required for passage. The Florida Constitution requires proposed constitutional amendments to be approved by at least 60 percent of eligible voters to go into effect.

Amendment 3 has failed.

Amendment 4 has failed.

As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd previously reported, Amendment 4 sought to “effectively enshrine abortion through birth in the Sunshine State’s constitution and eliminate safeguards designed to protect women and children.”

“The amendment itself is laced with vague terminology like ‘viability,’ which can easily be exploited to ensure abortion at any point in gestation, and includes language that gets rid of parental consent,” Boyd wrote. “It also includes provisions for medical professionals to deem abortion at any stage of pregnancy necessary for a woman’s “health,” physical, emotional, or mental.”

The initiative was also marred by concerns of deception and signature fraud in the months leading up to Election Day.

According to Ballotpedia, the pro-abortion sponsor of the measure dumped more than $118 million into the campaign backing the amendment’s passage. Meanwhile, organizations opposing the proposal raised roughly $12 million.

Gov. Ron DeSantis campaigned against Amendment 4 throughout the 2024 cycle. During an interview with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro last week, the Florida Republican noted how the “very
