Did U.S. House Democrats Pass a Bill to Allow Immigrants to Vote?

Misinformation and misapprehension surrounded two U.S. Congressional votes related to voting rights and immigration in March 2019. On 8 March, Facebook users began widely sharing a post by Brad Parker, which claimed: “HR 1 passed. Allowing illegal immigrants (foreigners) to vote. No country allows that….” In reality, the House bill known as H.R. 1 would not legally allow non-citizens to vote in the United States. The legislation included a raft of measures intended to prevent foreign interference in elections, reform campaign finance and enhance the protection of voting rights, among other measures. So it is false to claim that the Democrat House majority, in passing H.R. 1, had voted in favor of electoral rights for immigrants, whether documented or undocumented.
