Researchers from the Brennan Center for Justice interviewed local election officials in 42 jurisdictions across 12 states and found there’d been about 30 instances of suspected non-citizens voting. The results are consistent with post-election audits that have shown voter fraud and instances of non-citizen voting to be vanishingly rare. In North Carolina, where 4.8 million ballots were cast, officials found just 41 suspected cases of non-citizens voting. He has not provided any evidence for this claim, and has pledged a national probe into voter fraud. “Sometimes a voter won’t understand that they’re completing a voter registration application,” Lynn Ledford, the voter registration and election director in Gwinnett County, Georgia, told the Brennan Center researchers.
