Experts Criticize Census Bureau Report on Noncitizen Voting for Methodological Flaws
- The Census Bureau's report claims over 24,000 noncitizens voted illegally in the 2020 election, but experts argue the findings are statistically insignificant and potentially erroneous.
- Former Census Bureau officials express concern that the report lacks named authors and rigorous methodology, suggesting political pressure may have influenced its release.
- Experts emphasize that even if the report's claims were accurate, the number of alleged illegal votes would be negligible compared to Joe Biden's victory margin.
