The U.S. government is currently expediting the processing of U.S. citizenship applications at a remarkable rate, leading to a significant number of immigrants obtaining citizenship weekly. This accelerated pace may have an impact on the outcome of the upcoming November election, as reported by the New York Times.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) has reduced the average processing time for naturalization applications to 4.9 months, the fastest rate seen since 2013 and 2014.
Since President Biden took office, approximately 3.3 million immigrants have become naturalized citizens, partly due to simplifying the application to 14 pages instead of 20.
The administration raised the application fee to $710 but made it more accessible for low-income applicants to qualify for a discount.
Green card holders can apply for American citizenship after five years, while spouses of U.S. citizens for at least three years are eligible sooner.
Newly naturalized citizens will have voting rights, unlike permanent residents, potentially influencing the election.
The increase in naturalization efficiency could impact the election outcomes, with every citizenship application potentially determining Senate seats or the presidency.
The report suggests that many new citizens may be eligible to vote in crucial swing states, noting a growing number of new citizens nationwide.
A survey indicates high enthusiasm for voting among naturalized citizens, with a significant majority expressing intent to vote in upcoming elections.

The White House and USCIS did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
