Republicans have issued new legislation to help combat voter fraud in the lead up to the US elections.
The proposed laws require all voters to provide valid government-issued IDs before they can vote, so only US citizens can vote.
Author of Black Victim to Black Victor and the founder of Wrong Speak Publishing, Adam Coleman, discusses the implication of voter ID laws.
“In New York City, they just lost an appeal to allow non-citizens to vote,” Mr Coleman told Sky News Australia.
“To be specific, they wanted permanent residents so they are here legally, however, voting is for citizens – that is our right.
“If you are a citizen you should be able to vote, if you are a non-citizen you should not be able to vote, and being able to prove it is the most common-sense thing all around the world, especially in Western democracies.”
