185 Noncitizen Voters Flagged by Trump Admin in Nevada Are Likely Citizens, State Says - The Nevada Independent
State officials said records show the flagged voters were citizens and criticized federal claims that began at 16,000 before being cut to 185.
- Nevada election officials confirmed Thursday that all 185 voters flagged by the Department of Homeland Security as noncitizens are actually U.S. citizens, according to a report from The New York Times.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin previously claimed as many as 15,903 noncitizens were registered in Nevada, part of a broader Trump administration allegation of more than 270,000 noncitizens on voter rolls across four states.
- Federal officials provided only "voter case numbers," which Nevada Deputy Attorney General Greg Ott criticized as imprecise identifiers lacking names, birth dates, and addresses needed to verify citizenship.
- DHS dismissed Nevada's findings as "false," while Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar stated that federal officials continue attempts to "intimidate election officials into compliance" with unsubstantiated fraud claims.
- With less than six weeks until the November election, the administration is deploying investigators nationwide to root out noncitizen voting, an effort critics describe as unprecedented federal involvement in state-run elections.
