CNN: Experts Question Census Report Claiming Noncitizens Voted in 2020 Election
President Trump promotes a Census Bureau report on alleged noncitizen votes, though experts deem its methodology flawed and its findings insufficient to alter election outcomes.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump shared a Census Bureau report claiming it "proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally" based on analysis of 128 million voter records.
- NPR reported Wednesday that the analysis team included individuals affiliated with the America First Policy Institute rather than career civil servants, with bureau officials suggesting career staff were "sidelined."

- Trump is leveraging these claims to push for the "SAVE America Act" and executive orders, though critics caution these strict verification mandates could lead millions of eligible voters to be wrongly purged.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated the initial report was "just the beginning," noting that analysis of the remaining 32 million records "will likely show tens of thousands of additional illegal voters.
