More states tighten voting rules ahead of midterm elections

Nine states, including Florida, Utah, and Mississippi, have enacted voting laws this year that impose stricter requirements for state and local elections, drawing criticism for potentially disenfranchising eligible voters. Proponents argue the laws protect election integrity, while opponents claim they disproportionately burden marginalized groups. A Utah review found only 27 noncitizen voters out of 2 million registered voters.
