No source covers a "Momdani study" or any study that proves New York apportioned representation to fake people. Sources show that the census count, which feeds apportionment, includes illegal immigrants, but none addresses the "fake people" element or the claimed proof.

A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.

What was said

… The reason is, the Momdani study proves not only that fake people and people with fake Social Security numbers voted in that election, it proves that New York has apportioned congressional representation to fake people and illegal immigrants, and this is something we need to run more of, and we need to fix this before 2028, and we need to fix this before the 2030 Census, because I'll tell you, these vipers have their eyes on those prizes, and so, if we're not smart in bringing these into court …

What we found

Context. The sources do not mention any study by this name, so there is no document to test the claim that it proves anything.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Context. Census-based apportionment counts all residents, including people illegally present, which is the basis for the claim's illegal-immigrant element. A 2025 analysis finds that excluding undocumented residents would have shifted at most two House seats since 1980.[6][9]

Context. The claim's "fake people" element appears nowhere in the sources. The post's own wording about fake people voting, and the claim's extension to apportionment, come from the claimant and are not corroborated.

Context. The extraction tracks the post's wording closely, so the claim is graded as the post made it. The post is a claimant's own statement and cannot corroborate the claim.
