In his most recent challenge to the results of the 2020 U.S. election, President Donald Trump this week cited a report claiming to show that thousands of noncitizens voted, a practice studies have found to be extremely rare.Trump’s Truth Social post on Tuesday referenced a report published by the U.S. Census Bureau that he said checked “Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records,” finding 24,000 noncitizens voted illegally in just its initial search. The report is described as a “beginning analysis.”But experts say its methodology is flawed and could have created many false positives.Here’s a closer look at the facts.CLAIM: A Census Bureau report looking at 128 million voters proves that more than 24,000 noncitizens voted in the 2020 election.THE FACTS: This is false. The report says it checked data from a commercial voter file against federal records to identify noncitizens who allegedly voted in the election. According to experts, the methodology described in the report may have created false positives if, for example, an individual’s name was linked to the wrong address or their citizenship status hadn’t been updated in a certain database. Details about error rates and how the report ensured accurate results were not included.
