(B) Congress has long required States to maintain Federal voter registration lists in a manner that promotes voter confidence. (C) The changes included herein are not intended to be an expansion of Federal power but rather a clarification of State authority. (D) The Fifteenth Amendment, the Nineteenth Amendment, the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, and the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, among other references, make clear that the Constitution prohibits voting by non-citizens in Federal elections. (E) Congress has the constitutional authority, including under the aforementioned amendments, to pass statutes preventing non-citizens from voting in Federal elections, and did so with the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. (F) Congress may further exercise its constitutional authority to ensure the Constitution’s prohibition on non-citizen voting in Federal elections is upheld. (G) Since the Constitution prohibits non-citizens from voting in Federal elections, such ineligible persons must not be permitted to be placed on Federal voter registration lists. (H) Improper placement of an ineligible non-citizen on a Federal voter registration list leads to— (i) confusion on the part of the ineligible person with respect to their ineligibility to cast a ballot
