Up to 27% of Illegal Migrants Registered to Vote

preview

A new study from&nbsp;Just Facts builds on Electoral Studies’ 2014 paper and estimates that 10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are illegally registered to vote. They estimate that this could potentially total 2 to 5 million voters.

        


Just Facts also checks the “factcheckers,” namely Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post:Beyond portraying minimums as best estimates, Kessler also misleads his readers with a half-truth that the 2014 paper estimated “6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent voted in 2010.” What Kessler fails to reveal is that 2010 was a mid-term election, and Richman explained in&nbsp;Kessler’s newspaper that “these are the patterns one would expect to see if the measures retained validity and non-citizens were a group mobilized more in presidential election years than midterms.”In another ruse, Kessler criticizes and links to a study by Just Facts while coyly describing it as the work of “one&nbsp;researcher.” This avoids the&nbsp;scholarly track record of the organization and the fact that two Ph.D.’s who specialize in data analytics&nbsp;vetted the study and described it as “methodologically sound,” “fair in its conclusions,” and “credible.”
