Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency claim to have evidence of Democrats orchestrating illegal voting by noncitizens to sway national elections, but voting experts dispute the claims as highly dubious. The data provided by DOGE has not been released publicly, and without it, the extent of noncitizen voting remains uncertain.
Key Points
DOGE alleges a Democratic plot involving noncitizens illegally voting in federal elections.
Voting experts question the feasibility and impact of such illegal voting on national elections.
The consequences for noncitizens voting illegally are severe, including fines, jail time, and deportation.
Pros
The investigation by DOGE aims to uncover potential voter fraud involving noncitizens.
Efforts to verify identity for Social Security beneficiaries have been a focus, although a recent policy change was canceled.
Cons
The claims made by Elon Musk and DOGE about illegal voting by noncitizens are disputed by voting and data experts.
The lack of publicly shared evidence from DOGE raises doubts about the validity of the allegations.
