Trump claims millions of non-citizens are voting in American elections.
Reuters just investigated. The actual number: 30,000 mistakes over 26 years.
And they happened in Republican states too.
A Reuters investigation of official records found that US states may have added more than 30,000 self-declared non-citizens to voter rolls since 2000 — not because of fraud, but because of software glitches and clerical errors made while processing driver's license and state ID applications.
Here's what Reuters actually found:
• The errors occurred in a dozen states governed by both Democrats AND Republicans — including Republican strongholds Iowa, Texas and South Dakota
• Experts said the numbers are too small relative to 170 million registered voters to impact any election
• Reuters could not determine how many of these people actually cast a ballot
• The findings suggest inadvertent bureaucratic failures — not organized fraud — are the cause
Here's what Trump has claimed:
A primetime address claiming 278,000 non-citizens were on voter rolls — election officials called it baseless. A DHS database built to identify non-citizen voters that produced massive numbers of false positives — two courts blocked it. The SAVE Act — requiring proof of citizenship to vote — stalled in the Senate.
30,000 clerical errors over 26 years in a country with 170 million registered voters.
That is not an invasion.
That is a software problem.
Do you think Trump is using voter fraud claims to suppress legitimate vote
