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 official Matthew Millhollin announced the Trump administration's voter fraud initiative has resulted in about 1,600 cases and 160 arrests, unveiled six weeks before Election Day.
- President Donald Trump directed this whole-of-government effort, redirecting federal resources and hundreds of employees to search for foul play in elections ahead of November's midterms to crack down on noncitizen voting.
- The Justice Department separately charged 70 people with unlawful voting offenses and a Utah postal worker for discarding 300 mail ballots, though these cases represent a tiny fraction of more than 211 million active voters.
- David Becker, a former Justice Department attorney leading the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said these numbers are "incredibly small," while Kathy Boockvar warned hyperbolic claims fuel antagonism against election officials.
- Federal initiatives face legal hurdles, including blocked databases, while whistleblower reports allege staff misrepresent themselves on Voter Services tools in a way that could violate state laws and wrongly implicate U.S. citizens.
