Critics Fail to Debunk Explosive Study on Illegal Voting by Non-Citizens
Estimated Reading Time: 13 minutes
A new study by Just the Facts has gone viral with influential people, organizations, news outlets, and websites citing it. This includes, for example, U.S. Senator Mike Lee, Congressional testimony by Heritage Foundation legal scholar Hans von Spakovsky, and a post on X with more than 24 million views due to a repost by Elon Musk. Based on 2022 survey data and an enhanced version of a stress-tested methodology from a scholarly journal,the study found that about 10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are illegally registered to vote. Since more than 20 million of them now live in the U.S., this amounts to 2–5 million illegally registered voters, which can easily overturn the results of close major elections.
