As in the Republican National Convention, the Debate Claim of Widespread Voting by Noncitizens is Nonsense
In the Sept. 10 Trump-Harris Presidential debate, former President Trump made claims that Democrats encouraged illegal immigration so that noncitizens would vote and support their candidates. A similar claim was made by Senator Ted Cruz in the Republican National Convention. Here is the report we filed in July.
