Literally, the claim that some non-citizens have voted in recent U.S. elections is supported: DOJ charged nine Pennsylvania non-citizens with illegally voting in the 2022 and 2024 elections, and New Jersey officials said fewer than 400 ballots were cast by erroneously registered non-citizens.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.

… However, the people listening to this show don't want that. Here's Todd Blanch calling out Dick Durbin. He's like, "Hey, man, I got your letter, tricky Dick." I added that in there. That would have been funny, though, if you said that right after millions of illegal aliens flooded our country for four years, and we've proven non-citizens and aliens have been voting since then. If you were really concerned about election integrity, you'd help the administration clean voter rolls in your state and ensure the votes of millions of Americans are protected.

Contradicts. Fact-checkers and experts say the post's broader allegation of widespread non-citizen voting is unsupported: PolitiFact found DHS's 250,000 registration figure lacked evidence of any cast ballots, and Snopes found claims about noncitizen voting contradicted by its investigations.[1][2]
Contradicts. Multiple studies and reporting show documented non-citizen voting cases are very small: Heritage counted 24 convictions from 2005 to 2025, and in New Jersey a software glitch led to about 6,600 non-citizen registrations, with fewer than 400 ballots cast.[3][6][7]
Supports. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania charged nine non-citizens with illegally voting, including in the 2022 and 2024 general elections.[4]
Supports. DHS announced ICE arrests of dozens of individuals in connection with alleged non-citizen voting, and the DOJ has charged 28 people it says are non-citizens who illegally registered to vote.[5][6]
Context. ProPublica's review found fewer than 150 alleged noncitizen voters referred for prosecution from January 2025 to May 2026, with 41 charged, and the DHS 185-person list was described as a subset of a manual review.[8]
