Trump Administration Reports 1,600 Voter-Fraud Cases, 160 Arrests
The administration has redirected hundreds of federal workers as DOJ says prosecutions will rise significantly each week before Election Day.
- On Tuesday, Homeland Security Investigations senior official Matthew Millhollin reported the administration's initiative identified about 1,600 open voter-fraud cases and made 160 arrests, six weeks before Election Day.
- President Donald Trump directed the administration to pivot federal resources toward searching for illegal voting, treating it as a "tier one priority" and redirecting hundreds of investigators to review state voter rolls.
- A federal whistleblower report alleges U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services staff were directed to misrepresent themselves on state lookup tools, warning the initiative relies on unreliable data that could wrongly implicate U.S. citizens.
- Experts maintain noncitizen voting remains rare, with the 1,600 cases representing a tiny fraction of more than 211 million active registered voters, while former election officials warn such claims fuel threats against election workers.
- Prosecutions will "rise significantly each week going forward from now until the election," a Justice Department official said, while two election-related executive orders remain tied up in legal challenges.
