Election Fraud Database
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D–WA) claims that “voter fraud” is “statistically nonexistent” because “even” the “right-wing” Heritage Foundation “found that an average” of only “36 fraudulent ballots have been cast every year over the last 40 years — nationwide.”
IN FACT, the Heritage Foundation explicitly states that its “Election Fraud Database” is “not an exhaustive or comprehensive list of all election fraud” but is merely a “sampling of recent proven” cases. And as with other types of crime, proven cases are just a fraction of total cases.
This is especially true when it comes to voting by illegal immigrants, because they habitually engage in identity fraud. As Democrat California Senate Leader Kevin De Leon confessed, “Anyone who has family members who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification.”
Likewise, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration estimated that 700,000 illegal immigrants worked in 2010 by using Social Security numbers obtained by using “fraudulent birth certificates,” and another 1.8 million worked by using Social Security numbers “that did not match their name.”
Compounding the issue of identity fraud, weak voter registration requirements and a lack of enforcement mechanisms give unauthorized immigrants wide openings to illegally vote.
Thus, when Barack Obama was asked if “Dreamers” and “undocumented citizens” would be deported if they voted, he replied, “There is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating.”
In contrast to the narrow sample of cases gathered by Heritage, three comprehensive scientific surveys of non-citizens combined with voter registration records show that roughly 10% to 27% of them are illegally registered to vote, and about half of this subset turns out to vote.
Those figures indicate that roughly 1.0 million to 2.7 million non-citizens illegally voted in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections.
Repeated attempts to dispute those facts by the New York Times, NPR, the BBC, PolitiFact, Snopes, the Cato Institute, and others have all epically failed.
