DHS admits its massive 'noncitizen voter' claim was basically fan fiction
Turns out the government’s big scary numbers about voter rolls were just a rough draft that never should have left the chat.
Remember when the Trump administration made headlines by claiming they’d discovered a quarter-million noncitizens on voter rolls across four states? Well, it turns out that the numbers were inflated and strictly preliminary.
Instead of a smoking gun, it looks more like a collection of data errors that got turned into a political talking point before anyone checked the math. The agency basically sent these half-baked stats to states, knowing full well they hadn't been verified.
It’s almost like shouting fire in a theater just to see if people would run. The truth is much quieter, and significantly less dramatic.
