Nothing to See Here Folks — Except 24,000+ Noncitizens Voting in the 2020 Election

Move along, folks, move along; nothing to see here. Just a few noncitizens voting in our federal elections. The Democrats say we don’t need the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID, and that such things never happen, so we should be fine.

The Census Bureau reported Tuesday that they’re partially done poring through the 2020 election data, and they’ve so far identified 24,000 noncitizen voters.

Wait, what?! That doesn’t sound safe, legal, or rare.

If the percentage continues at the same rate as they count the rest, that number could eventually rise to 30,000 votes that should not have been tallied. And yet, Congress still can’t or won’t pass SAVE.

President Donald Trump noticed. Whether these numbers would have been enough to decide the election is debatable, but they’re still a lot more than zero:

"The Census Bureau has begun checking the Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records. On the first 128,000,000 Voters, the Census Bureau proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally! The Census Bureau is going to analyze the next 32,000,000 Voters, and this… pic.twitter.com/7l86IVVHNY

"The Census Bureau has begun checking the Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records. On the first 128,000,000 Voters, the Census Bureau proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally! The Census Bureau is going to analyze the next 32,000,000 Voters, and this number will explode. I WON THE ELECTION! We must pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Census Bureau published the findings on their official website Tuesday. They explained that they collected data from sources such DataClear’s record of federal-election voters and registrants reported by Secretaries of State around the country. Here’s what they found, in their words:

Nearly 160 million voters cast ballots in the 2020 general election. The Census Bureau’s beginning analysis readily determined with high confidence that over 128 million of these voter records represented citizens, and that over 24,000 of these voter records represented noncitizens at the time of the election. Over 32 million voter records remain to be analyzed.

The percentage might sound pretty small — about .02 percent — but when you look at it another way, it becomes more significant. I’ve checked these numbers in this tweet regarding three swing states, and they’re accurate:

🚨🤯 The Census Bureau has conceded that 24,000 illegals voted in 2020.

POTUS says that number will grow.

To put in comparison POTUS lost Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia by 43K votes.

We know where this is headed. 😎 pic.twitter.com/ko3tsPovZ1

Here’s the breakdown:

No wonder the Democrats are scared of the SAVE America Act.

Where did most of these noncitizen voters come from? If you guessed Mexico, you get an imaginary gold-plated trophy:

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had thoughts:

The Department of Commerce’s Census Bureau just released its analysis showing more than 24,000 noncitizens illegally voted in the 2020 election. Not just registered but literally illegally voted. And that is just the beginning. More than 32 million more voters’ records will be analyzed in the coming weeks, and these records will likely show tens of thousands of additional illegal voters.

The American people deserve transparency. We are making sure the facts are out for everyone to see.

It’s unconscionable that the Democrats refuse to back the SAVE Act and protect our elections. The GOP should use any method at its disposal — including nuking the filibuster if they have to — to stop this blatant cheating. 

Editor’s Note: Republicans are fighting for election integrity by requiring proper identification to vote. It's common sense, yet Democrats are spreading lies about the impact of such a measure.
