“President Donald Trump told a prime-time national audience, last week, that the Department of Homeland Security found 278,000 noncitizens on state voter rolls after checking roughly half the states. ‘It’s a number,’ as my old boss says. The Washington Post called it ‘an exaggerated claim that noncitizens are registering to vote en masse.’ No, noncitizens are not really registering to vote so much as being registered — without their knowledge or understanding through deliberate government policy that pretends it’s pro-democracy to throw folks on the voter list who are not legally entitled to vote.” (07/21/26)
