Trump Again Claims Noncitizens Voted Illegally

“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security claimed on Thursday that they had uncovered a significant number of noncitizens registered in four states, but offered no evidence to support their findings nor any description of their investigative process,” the New York Times reports.

“Election officials in at least one state — Nevada — immediately rebuffed the claims regarding noncitizens on their voter rolls.”

“Evidence-free claims that noncitizens have voted in elections have been core to the president’s political message — and central to his justification to enact the SAVE America Act, federal voting legislation that Democrats claim is aimed at tipping the scales to benefit Republicans.”
