State officials are pushing back on the Department of Homeland Security’s claims that it found tens of thousands of noncitizens on their voter rolls, asking the department to explain how it arrived at its conclusion. Ahead of President Donald Trump’s primetime speech from the White House earlier this month in which he made sweeping claims of voter fraud, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin wrote to officials in Nevada, Pennsylvania, California and New Jersey, saying he believed the four states had more than 250,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls combined.

Analyzing Claims about Noncitizen Registration or Voting
Announcing CEIR’s new interactive tracker
By Kyle Yoder, Carly Colen, and Iris Ong
Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR)
Much attention has been paid to sweeping claims about possible noncitizens registering to vote or even casting ballots in US elections. After years of intense scrutiny by local, state, and even federal officials, all available evidence strongly suggests that this number in any state is extremely small. Election officials—in every state and regardless of party—act swiftly to investigate and address these claims whenever they arise, and large claims shrink under this scrutiny. Yet the claims continue, appearing to arise from misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, or outright fabrications about voter data.
The Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR) has released a comprehensive, interactive tracker of claims about noncitizen registration or voting. For the first time, voters, policymakers, and the public can see details and analysis of all these claims, grounding discussions in facts.
