This is essentially (esp. once combined with the rest of your comment) misinformation: fraudulent voting by non-citizens effectively doesn't occur[1]. To sum it up,
> A Brennan Center for Justice study of 2016 data from 42 jurisdictions found an estimated 30 incidents of suspected noncitizen voting out of 23.5 million votes cast (or .0001% of votes).
I.e., a rounding error.
> How comes the democrats try to block every single voter ID act? Sounds to me there's something to hide.
Generally, the counter argument is that further requirements stifle voters, while not solving any real problem, since the above concern is not backed by actual facts demonstrating it to be a valid concern.
> There has also been some very shady counting happening in 2020: where during the last hours suddenly 100% of the votes coming in in some states where all for Biden.
You're assuming the vote is uniform, and it's pretty trivial to show it's not; look at any vote-by-county map, and you'll see urban centers are far more Democrat heavy. Expecting the tallying to then be uniform is illogical.
> Note that Trump, […], said
His words are beyond bereft of trust[2].
> I'd add that, in my opinion, bringing in millions of illegals then trying to regularize them and allow them to vote is also a form of election rigging, even if it's legal.
[citation needed], but this isn't a thing. No jurisdiction I know of permits non-naturalized immigrants, legal or otherwise, to register to vote. If they've been naturalized, voting is their right, same as it is mine.
