A new poll shared exclusively with Breitbart News finds that an overwhelming majority of general election voters believe only American citizens should be allowed to vote in U.S. elections.
Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots told Breitbart News: “We are months away from one of the most important elections of our lifetime, and the security of that election is being compromised by people illegally crossing our borders. “We are under siege due to foreign invasion,” he said. “Some of them are finally able to vote in our elections with little impediment.”
The poll, commissioned by McLaughlin & Associates for Tea Party Patriots Action, found that 85.5% of voters believe only U.S. citizens can vote in U.S. elections, even at the local government level. It turns out that the answer is yes.

A minority of voters, between 9 and 12 percent, said they do not support certifying citizenship laws in U.S. elections.
