DHS noncitizen voter claim collapses from 15,903 to zero in Nevada
Homeland Security's figures shrink dramatically after Nevada election officials reject every name on the supposedly verified lists.
What to know
- DHS's initial claim of 15,903 noncitizen voters in Nevada has collapsed entirely—the agency provided zero verified cases and Nevada confirmed the 185 supposedly certain cases were actually all citizens.
- The original figure was not manually reviewed, methodologically flawed (based on voter case numbers that don't establish citizenship), and repeatedly reduced without evidence.
- Nevada officials say DHS still owes them substantive documentation for any of its claims, which they are waiting to receive.
“Earlier this summer, the Trump administration claimed that there were more than 15,000 noncitizens voting on Nevada's voter rolls. Last month, that number shrank to 185. Now it's zero.”

DHS data methodology questioned; claim now revised to 6,218
Nevada officials noted DHS has lowered its overall claim to 6,218 noncitizens and identified methodological flaws in how DHS used voter case numbers, which do not establish citizenship status and may match outdated records.
“A number that matches a voter record thus establishes only that a number exists in, or once existed in, a voter registration system.”

Thanks for the advice bot. I’m sure your geared up and ready to fight the government any day now. Just for some inexplicable reason you haven’t started the revolution yet, but it’s all the other people who are docile sheep. Fuck off larper; either do something or shut up.
