What we found

Contradicts. Snopes reports the DHS July claim of 250,000+ noncitizens on rolls in four states was unsupported, and all four states denied the allegations, noting DHS provided no usable information.[1]

Contradicts. Nevada officials reviewed DHS's flagged list and found all 185 names supplied were American citizens eligible to vote, undermining the large-scale figure.[3]

Contradicts. A Washington Post analysis of 180+ noncitizen voting cases found none involved an organized effort by Democrats or anyone else, appearing instead as isolated incidents, many involving claimed confusion.[4]

Context. Reuters found about 30,000 non-citizens may have been mistakenly added to rolls over 25 years through software and clerical errors across both Democratic and Republican states, with numbers too small to affect elections.[2]

Context. CNN reports the administration's claimed hundreds of thousands of noncitizens on rolls narrowed significantly under scrutiny, with few prosecutions.[5]
