Deep dives
The Myth of Non-Citizen Voting
Claims of widespread non-citizen voting have been shown to be unfounded and misleading. Studies indicate that non-citizen voting is virtually nonexistent, with only 30 verified cases of such voting out of 23.5 million ballots cast in jurisdictions with high immigrant populations. Furthermore, an analysis of a database maintained by a conservative group found only 85 allegations of non-citizen voting across a 21-year period. This stark discrepancy highlights the manipulation of facts by individuals like Cleta Mitchell, who propagate false narratives regarding election integrity.
