“"Kansas, Alaska, Arkansas, South Dakota and West Virginia each passed noncitizen voting bans with more than 60% support" — Fox News Digital dek/lede, Elaine Mallon, Nov. 5, 2026”
The claim: “"Kansas, Alaska, Arkansas, South Dakota and West Virginia each passed noncitizen voting bans with more than 60% support" — Fox News Digital dek/lede, Elaine Mallon, Nov. 5, 2026”
Why we rated it this way: AP-fed NBC tallies show yes (or "for") shares of 69.6% in Alaska, 69.1% in Arkansas, 63.6% in Kansas, 61.5% in South Dakota, and 79.6% in West Virginia — each above 60%. Ballotpedia News also reported all five of those citizenship measures approved on Nov. 3, with Arizona's broader Proposition 144 defeated, matching Fox's five-state list.
See the evidenceWhat would change our rating: Final certified state canvass numbers putting any of the five below 60% yes, or showing one of the five failed, would move this to Contradicted or Missing context.
