The claim holds for several audits and reviews that report hundreds or fewer noncitizens below 0.1% of registered voters, such as Utah (27, about .001%), Georgia (407 possible over 30 years), and Washington (400).

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… And that they use postal votes to cast their votes. And that that's illegal. And it would be, it's illegal for them to vote, it's illegal for a state official to sign them up. And, crucially, there's no evidence that this happens in very big numbers at all. And we've heard some states recently announcing how many non-citizens they found on their voter rolls, haven't we? And it's in the hundreds, yeah, very low thousands, like not 0.1% of the electorate in those states. But nonetheless, Donald Trump continues to advance this case, doesn't he, that people who are not eligible to vote are doing so. …

What we found

Contradicts. New Jersey's governor announced about 6,600 noncitizens added by a software glitch, which is above the 'low thousands' range and near or above 0.1% of that state's electorate.[1][2]

Contradicts. DHS announced 190,832 possible noncitizens in California, 35,152 in New Jersey, 15,903 in Nevada and 14,576 in Pennsylvania, and the administration later claimed 20,000 in California. These figures are in the tens of thousands or more, far above the claim's range.[4][6]

Supports. Richer's testimony reports Utah's audit found 27 confirmed noncitizens among 2.1 million registered voters (about .001%) and Georgia's audit found 407 possible noncitizen voters over 30 years, both in the hundreds or fewer and far below 0.1%.[5]

Supports. Washington's federal announcement identified about 400 possible noncitizen registrants, and DHS's Nevada figure was narrowed to 185 voters it was confident were noncitizens, both consistent with the claim's hundreds-scale framing.[6][7]

Context. The large DHS and administration figures were widely disputed: states asked for proof, DHS acknowledged its Nevada number was a ceiling requiring manual review, and experts said the numbers were inflated or fell apart on review.[7][8][9]

Context. Reuters found about 30,000 self-declared non-citizens may have been mistakenly added since 2000 across a dozen states, a figure experts called too small to affect elections, which is consistent with the claim's scale of rarity.[2][3]
