"A highly unusual Census Bureau report that President Trump is using to reup dubious claims of widespread illegal voting by non-U.S. citizens has ties to a Trump-aligned think tank, NPR has learned."
Mike Schneider / Count of Counting, Aug 19
"NO STATISTICIAN OR researcher at the U.S. Census Bureau attached their name to yesterday’s report stating that 24,000 noncitizens voted in the 2020 election, and that should tell you something. Every other report on the bureau’s “Census Publications” site is credited to a statistician, economist, demographer or researcher.
"Then again, few Census Bureau publications are ever used as evidence by the president of the United States to claim an election was stolen. But that’s exactly what President Donald Trump did yesterday, proclaiming on “Truth Social” that he had won the 2020 presidential election. Just to be clear, Trump lost to President Joe Biden by 7 million votes in an election in which 160 million voters cast ballots."

"We find significant heterogeneity in sensitivity to the citizenship question among households containing Hispanics, naturalized citizens, and noncitizens."
