Noncitizen Voting Cases Contradict Democrats’ Claims It Doesn’t Happen

Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed on the Senate floor that noncitizen voting is a myth, just months before New Jersey officials admitted about 400 noncitizens had voted in state elections.

“The good news is that noncitizens do not vote in American elections,” the Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats asserted in a March 19 floor speech.

The problem is not exclusive to New Jersey, which announced last week that a glitch caused 6,600 noncitizens to be registered to vote. Numerous state audits and criminal convictions contradict what some politicians have said on noncitizen voting being nonexistent.

In the House, Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., was equally adamant last year after voting against the SAVE Act, asserting, “Let me be perfectly clear: This is a non-issue. Non-citizens do not vote in U.S. elections.”

However, a 2017 Pennsylvania Department of State analysis identified 1,160 people who apparently self-reported that they were noncitizens and voluntarily canceled their voter registrations. Of those, 248 had voted at least once, casting a total of 642 ballots, according to testimony provided to the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee. Most of those votes occurred between 2000 and 2017.

More recently, a 2025 Ohio audit found 167 noncitizens had voted between 2018 and 2024, while other state audits found numbers in the double digits.
