A US Census Report on Noncitizen Voting Used Bad Data to Reach Faulty Conclusions

The Census Bureau’s “Noncitizen Voting in the 2020 Election: A Beginning Analysis” claimed to find 24,000 noncitizen voters among 128 million records, with the highest count of 4,300 in California and fewer than 15 in Wyoming. WIRED found the data and approval process flawed, noting that the authors include former Trump administration affiliates and that experts consider the figures likely the result of analytical errors rather than actual illegal voting.
