It's a feature, not a bug.

thats the whole point, oops, you cant vote, sucks you were voting against us anyway....
Given that only 22 noncitizens over the course of like 10 years (can't remember the exact statistic) tried to vote, the way to get the best accuracy would be to just hard code the answer to "yes, they can vote". Then you get over 99.99% accuracy.
From the article:
At least seven states with a total of about 35 million registered voters have publicly reported the results of running their voter rolls through the system. Those searches have identified roughly 4,200 people — about 0.01% of registered voters — as noncitizens. This aligns with previous findings that noncitizens rarely register to vote.
I'm not even sure what incentive they would have. We already have a huge problem with citizens not voting because they think their vote won't change anything. Is anyone going to think "I'm going to risk going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for me to spend my free time filling out a ballot box which will have a 0.000001% chance of having any effect"?
"mistakenly" flags democrat registered voters? I can only assume

Extra mistakes in blue states I’m sure.
As European I'm so confused by this. You just show your state ID and that's it, they check on paper that you voted, then you put your voting papers into the box.
They just made it so not all state IDs count.
You’re are rightly confused. This is all theatrics by the far right to penalize liberal areas. Areas they deem as high risk of fraud or illegals, in other words left leaning states and counties.
The source of the bad data was a Department of Homeland Security tool called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE.
Once used mostly to check immigrants’ eligibility for public benefits, SAVE has undergone a dramatic expansion over the last year at the behest of President Donald Trump, who has long falsely claimed that millions of noncitizens lurk on state voter rolls, tainting American elections.
Why is the Department of Homeland Security in charge of a program to check if people can get benefits?
Repeatedly checking the tool results in massive numbers of mistakes.
If you check the same person twice, the odds of a false positive increase exponentially.
So if it says I can't vote because I'm not a us citizen and my state bans me from voting for it, am I off the hook on taxes?
No taxation without representation, right?
Turns out, they were just using this meme as their requirements document.

It's almost like there's almost zero non-citizens voting or something...
Not that there's even a need to prevent them from voting.
Isn't that the point? Ensure there aren't that many voters? I'd say it works as I tended.
Just another tool for states to find enough votes for their candidates. These ones before the elections. After the elections they will be using signature matching and other dishonest means to disqualify voters from blue districts if it's needed to pull the state.
This is the least of their machinations as well. It's also worth mentioning in 2021 a lot of states gave their state legislatures the ultimate say in awarding electors, it had previously been assigned to the popular votes in all states. Georgia is one, that law you heard about that made it illegal to hand out food and water to voters in line? It cancelled the popular vote as determining electors, the legislature can now award them to the loser afterwards. But our media didn't really tell us that, still don't.
Idk all the states that did these, I think AZ did, TX's voter law in 2021 had that provision but it was stricken from the final bill. I think WI might have done it.
With all of the accumulated voter suppression, voter theft, and outright cheatery at play here, it's astounding we would continue to fight under these establishment democrats that have shown themselves unwilling and unable to win reliably, let alone restore our republic. Their raison de etre is preventing popular reform, not keeping the fascists intent on fixing elections out. They are in power as the "safe" choice. We have only had token opposition to them, in Bernie, whom I love, but he wasn't supposed to be a serious challenge but just a facade to keep the left on board with an illusion of choice as they spite and frustrate them at every turn.
And they almost lost to that token challenge anyway. I am a broken record here evangelizing for popular reform, because none of this means anything without good strong leadership, a group that knows how to build and run a political machine. We either get reform from fascists intent on permanently fixing elections to keep the worst people in the country in charge indefinitely, or we give them reform. The status quo will fall, the plutocratic rot is visible from the surface, everyone knows they are being screwed if not by whom. Either we channel their rage, or the right misdirects it, and destroys the republic in the process.
We are on the path to ruin and there is no way back fighting under the establishment democrats. Admit it, help us get leadership, we can win, we are stronger, we just need to unite under a champion(s.)
