League of United Latin American Citizens & State Democracy Defenders Action
Release New Report Exposing Effort to Undermine Confidence in Tuesday’s Election
================================================================================


The Big Lie of 2024 aka La Gran Mentira: Exposing Anti-Immigrant Election Lies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington, D.C. — Today, League of United Latin American Citizens [ [link removed] ]
(LULAC) and State Democracy Defenders Action [ [link removed] ]
(SDDA) released The Big Lie of 2024 aka La Gran Mentira: Exposing Anti-Immigrant
Election Lies [ [link removed] ] , a comprehensive analysis of
Donald Trump and his allies efforts to push a disinformation campaign based on
lies about immigrants and voting. The goal of the Big Lie of 2024 is to expose
the falsehoods that undermine public trust in the integrity of the upcoming
election and lay the groundwork to, once again, claim victory regardless of the
final vote tally.

The new report details the legal framework that unequivocally prohibits
ineligible people from voting including how state and federal election security
provisions create a multi-layered series of checks that further strengthen those
federal protections. It also delves into the data which demonstrates through
investigations and audits by state agencies, independent researchers, and media
organizations that there is a miniscule number of ineligible immigrants
registering to vote, with an even smaller amount who actually vote.

“It has been definitively proven that these are false narratives and it is
obvious they are being spread in order to suppress the vote of Black and Brown
communities and sow doubt in the election outcome,” said Juan Proaño, LULAC Chief
Executive Officer. “By exposing these lies our aim is to ensure Latino and all
voters feel confident that they can vote freely and that their vote will be
counted accurately.”

The report traces Trump’s history of false claims about immigrants and how
Republican leaders have followed suit with proposed legislative non-solutions
intended to silence voters and how they may disparate impact minority voting
groups. It also provides a range of solutions, including legislation, media and
public information, voter outreach, legal avenues and other approaches. In
proposing actionable solutions to combat disinformation about ineligible voters,
the report seeks to provide templates to push back against this false and
dangerous narrative and in so doing, aim to help safeguard confidence in this
election cycle and in those to come.

“Four years ago, the first Big Lie shook the foundation of our democracy when
thousands, egged on by lies, stormed the United States Capitol trying to prevent
the peaceful transfer of power followed by a safe and secure election,” said
Ambassador Norman Eisen (ret.), co-founder of State Democracy Defenders Action.
“We have the power to stop this year’s attempt to silence the voice and votes of
the U.S. electorate–and particularly of voters of color. We must act to do so.”
