Good story about Al Schmidt and noncitizen voting. Amazing difference between Al working diligently to ensure election integrity and how the issue is now insanely politicized by other Republicans. www.votebeat.org/pennsylvania...

votebeat.org

This Republican uncovered hundreds of noncitizen voters, but thinks fears of widespread fraud are overblown

Al Schmidt might have more experience identifying noncitizen voters than anyone else.
