Illegals Will Be Voting This Election and Our Government Is Enabling Their Crimes

Republicans highlight a recent study estimating that 10% to 27% of noncitizens are illegally registered to vote, and 5% to 13% will illegally vote in 2024 -- a potentially massive number given the illegal alien portion of the noncitizen population alone numbers well over 10 million. Election integrity advocates argue that states have not found many incidents of noncitizen voting for the simple reason that authorities, including the Department of Justice, do not look for it.

"DOJ investigations of illegal voting are all but nonexistent," Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, said in a recent floor debate concerning the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act, a bill Lee and House colleague Chip Roy (R-Texas) introduced to combat noncitizen voting. After the House passed the measure in July, Democrats blocked the legislation in the upper chamber, where it remains stalled.

"[T]oo many prosecutors refuse to enforce the law even when such illegal behavior is discovered by election officials or others," Hans von Spakovsky, a former Department of Justice official who now works at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Congress in May.


Should election officials fail to prevent noncitizens from casting ballots on the front end, J. Christian Adams, a fellow former DOJ official and president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, told RCI, there is "almost nothing" the public or political parties can do on the back end to identify, challenge, and invalidate noncitizen votes prior to election certification.

Adams' group has documented myriad electoral races decided by one vote or tied over the last two decades -- something he and others argue indicates just how critical it is to combat illegal voting, given the potential impact to tight races up and down ballots.

States generally seem unfazed by the prospect of noncitizen voting...

Most state officials who responded to RCI's query emphasized that there are laws on the books permitting third-party challenges to voter eligibility. But this is a measure requiring time, money, and effort. The two former Justice Department officials -- Spakovsky and Adams -- recently took issue with the view that state audits and scrubs of voter rolls ought to inspire confidence, writing in the Daily Signal:

Because almost no state even attempts to verify that individuals registering to vote are U.S. citizens -- and because the federal government, including both the courts and the executive branch, have put up significant barriers to such verification -- we don't really know how many aliens, whether here legally or illegally, are registering and voting.
