Millions of Non-Citizens Plan to Vote in 2024 Election, Study Finds

A troubling new study has revealed that millions of non-citizens living in the United States are planning to vote illegally in the 2024 presidential election.

Just Facts, a nonprofit research institute, found that 2.7 million non-citizens are likely to cast votes in November.

The shocking discovery further adds to concerns that the outcome of the presidential race will not reflect the will of the only people permitted to vote in federal elections – American citizens.

The study “found that about 10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are now illegally registered to vote,” Just Facts noted in an overview.

“The U.S. Census recorded more than 19 million adult non-citizens living in the U.S. during 2022,” it says.

“Given their voter registration rates, this means that about two million to five million of them are illegally registered to vote.

“These figures are potentially high enough to overturn the will of the American people in major elections, including congressional seats and the presidency.”

A 2014 study found that 81% of non-citizen votes in 2008 were cast for Democrats.

Voter fraud more broadly has become a concern since the U.S. election system was upended in 2020.

During the 2020 election, an unprecedented 70% of all votes cast were done by mail or early.

Without basic exit polling for a vast majority of the vote, some have questioned how potential fraud could be detected in the first place.

When fraud is difficult to detect, it makes it almost impossible to investigate.

The author of the Just Facts study, James Agresti, told The Washington Stand that it is relatively easy for non-citizens to register to vote in America’s elections.

“In no state in the nation are they required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote,” Agresti said.

“And if you look at the federal voter registration form, it says you can submit all different forms of ID to register.

“That could be a Social Security number, it could be a driver’s license number, or it could just be a utility bill.

“I mean, these are things that anyone can get by living here.

“They do not prove you’re a U.S. citizen.”

“And more than that, a lot of non-citizens have faked Social Security numbers, especially illegal* immigrants,” he added.

“That’s what they do to work.”

Agresti noted a recent estimate by the Social Security Administration that “tallied 2.5 million non-citizens who had Social Security numbers gained by using fake birth certificates or stealing those numbers from somebody else,” he said.

While testifying before Congress on May 16, the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative manager Hans von Spakovsky cited the Just Facts study.

“This new study not only affirms the conclusions of the 2014 report, but, based on an analysis of the more recent data, estimates that 10 to 27% of all aliens currently in the U.S. are registered to vote and that 5 to 13% of them will illegally vote in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections,” he said.

Kerri Toloczko, the executive director of the Election Integrity Network, suggested that the percentage of non-citizens voting today is likely even higher than the last time the rate was calculated.

“A 2014 academic journal found that 6.4% of noncitizens voted in 2008,” Toloczko said.

“There are about 24 million non-citizens in the U.S. right now.

“If they voted only at the same rate of 6.4% this year as they did in 2008, they would account for 1.5 million votes.”

“Based on the increased noncitizen activity at state DMVs, and the work of left-wing voter registration activists, this 6.4% could be much higher than it was in 2008,” she added.

“We could be looking at over two million unlawful noncitizen votes.”

The estimates cited in the 2014 paper and the Just Facts study have been criticized by a Washington Post “fact-checker.”

In addition, the left-wing think tank the Cato Institute attempted to downplay the study by citing criticism that suggests the number of non-citizens voting in U.S. elections is “zero.”

“Zero, of course, functions here as a rounding number and not as an assertion that literally no noncitizens voted in 2008,” the Cato article says.

“It signifies simply that alternative rounding numbers, such as 5 or 3 or 1 percent, would likely be less accurate.”

Illegal immigration has become a dominating issue in the 2024 presidential election.

President Donald Trump has promised to close the porous border and deport illegals.

The 45th president has criticized the Biden-Harris administration for permitting potentially dangerous foreigners to enter the U.S. completely unvetted, leaving Americans vulnerable.

He’s also argued that the steady flow of millions of illegals is hurting the American worker.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has long been soft on illegal immigration.

She has led the charge on the Biden-Harris admin’s open-border policies and previously stated that it should not be a crime to enter the U.S. illegally.

She’s also advocated perks for illegals, such as sex-change operations for illegal inmates.

Since she became the Democrat nominee, however, Harris’s staffers have claimed the vice president is for strong border security.

Her campaign has even used images of Trump’s border wall in a campaign video suggesting Harris is tough at the border.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to frame Trump as a threat to illegal* aliens and mobilize them to vote.
