In defending his state’s sanctuary laws, California Governor Gavin Newsom warned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might show up at polling places to “chill participation.”
That statement was an admission: Democrats know non-citizens are voting—and they are relying on it.
For years, Democrats and allied media have insisted that non-citizen voting is a “myth.”

Yet extensive research contradicts them. A 2014 Electoral Studies paper found that about one-quarter of non-citizens were likely registered, and over six percent voted in 2008.
The study concluded those votes “likely” changed key elections for Democrats, including Electoral College outcomes and a Senate race that enabled passage of Obamacare.
It also reported that 81.8% of non-citizens who admitted voting in 2008 supported Barack Obama.
Those findings were reinforced by Just Facts, which updated the estimates using 2022 Census data.
They determined that between 10% and 27% of non-citizens nationwide are illegally registered to vote.
With 19.7 million non-citizen adults counted in 2022, that means two to five million names appear illegally on voter rolls.
Given turnout rates, between one million and nearly three million non-citizens could cast ballots in 2024.
That is enough to swing battleground states and determine control of Congress.
The argument that those numbers are “too small” collapses when compared to recent election margins.
In 2020, Biden carried Arizona by just over 10,000 votes. Georgia’s margin was fewer than 12,000.
If even a fraction of the non-citizen votes identified occurred in those states, outcomes could have flipped.

Yet Democrats dismiss the issue, even while their governors admit illegal immigrants are participating.
Republicans have responded with legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. That should be the bare minimum.
Democrats resist every reform. When Trump’s Election Integrity Commission requested publicly available voter-roll data, Democrat officials refused and filed lawsuits to block it.
California’s secretary of state falsely claimed the commission asked for “personal data.” In reality, it only requested public voter registration lists.
Blocking transparency has become a cornerstone of Democrat election policy.
Polls show non-citizens overwhelmingly favor Democrats. Surveys between 2006 and 2022 found 73% to 82% supported Democrat candidates.
That aligns with promises of amnesty, welfare expansion, and sanctuary protections. Each illegal ballot cancels the vote of an American citizen—and Democrats benefit from nearly all of them.
Newsom’s remark stripped Democrats of denial. He acknowledged that immigration enforcement near polling places would deter “participation.”
The only participation deterred would be from people not legally allowed to vote. Newsom admitted the system is compromised.
President Trump has been vilified for saying non-citizen voting undermines elections.
The data prove him right. Democrats like Newsom, instead of protecting ballots, enable fraud that erodes trust in democracy.
The question is no longer whether non-citizens are voting. The question is whether Americans will allow Democrats to keep pretending it isn’t happening.
