Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote. Its illegal. Even dem senator Lankford, the architect of the disgraceful border bill said so on CNN.

Having said that and barring possibility of illegals voting, the other biggest problem I see is uninformed voters electing some random dudes/dudettes as their representative from their states purely based on campaign ads absolutely not knowing the candidate and his/her values.

I am not sure if democracy of voting really works. A good percentage of people who vote have no knowledge of the constitution, background of candidates, funding sources and so many factors. Shouldn't there be some criteria to vote?

Forget voter Id, paper ballots, same day voting, etc..which still doesn't check qualification of voters. Even if all election integrity rules are fulfilled, what's the point in a "citizen" marking some random circle off the ballot. You might as well just run a lottery instead. Electing a suitable rep is an honorable, precious job. For any other job, we use meritocracy, why not use it for voters too?
