We’ve long known that noncitizen voting isn’t a threat to our elections because it is extremely rare — and Louisiana just confirmed it again. The real threat? Politicians are using lies about noncitizen voting to suppress EVERYONE's right to vote. Including yours.

Except for ferries, the typical transit rider makes less money than the average Bay Area resident - this is even true for Caltrain, which has the highest average rider income other than the ferries.
