❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A U.S. Census Bureau report has revealed that more than 24,000 noncitizens cast ballots in the 2020 general election, with more potentially still to be identified.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The data pertains to the 2020 general election, with California found to have by far the most noncitizen voters, at 4,300, followed by Texas at 2,500.
📺 DETAIL: The report found that of the 24,000 noncitizen voters identified, 3,800 were from Mexico, the most common country of origin. However, nearly 7,000 have no identified country of origin, so the nationality data is far from complete. The Census Bureau analyzed a total of 160 million votes, with “high confidence” that 128 million were cast by citizens, leaving 32 million records still to be reviewed.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The Census Bureau’s beginning analysis readily determined with high confidence that over 128 million of these voter records represented citizens, and that over 24,000 of these voter records represented noncitizens at the time of the election. Over 32 million voter records remain to be analyzed… Of the voters who can be readily analyzed by the Census Bureau, over 24,000 are linked to administrative records that indicate with high confidence noncitizen status.” – U.S. Census Bureau, Noncitizen Voting in the 2020 Election, A Beginning Analysis
🎯 IMPACT: The findings raise questions about election security and voter verification processes, particularly in states with higher rates of noncitizen voting. President Donald J. Trump and his administration have been pushing hard for new legislation mandating voter ID and other election integrity measures, but congressional Democrats—who benefit disproportionately from illegal noncitizen voting—are strongly resisting. This is despite the fact that large majorities of Republican, Democrat, and Independent voters all support voter ID.
