Trump officials touted a voter fraud bombshell. Their data hasn’t proved it

  • The Department of Homeland Security claimed 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada's voter rolls, but officials admitted in a meeting that only 185 have been manually confirmed as ineligible.
  • President Donald Trump promoted findings of 250,000 noncitizens registered in four states as evidence of election vulnerability, supporting the administration's push for the SAVE America Act.
  • During a meeting with state officials, Kimberley Vogt, the DHS fraud division leader, acknowledged the 15,000 figure remained unvetted; the department sent 6,200 "higher confidence matches" for investigation.
  • Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar criticized the data as "preliminary" and insufficient for verification, stating his office will not risk disenfranchising eligible voters without higher confidence.
  • Earlier this week, the Census Bureau released a report claiming 24,000 noncitizens voted in the 2020 election, though experts criticized its methodology, lack of transparency, and potential political bias.
