Op-Ed | Trump's threat to hijack the midterm elections is real | amNewYork
"Voter fraud is exceptionally rare. Mistakes are made by voters and election administrators, but things like voter impersonation is almost nonexistent; voting by mail is safe and secure."
"The Heritage Foundation has documented only 100 cases of noncitizens voting from 1982 to 2025, which is about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections during that time."
"A 2025 analysis by the Brookings Institute found that cases of fraud by mail accounted for four out of 10 million mailed ballots, and that universal mail-in systems are less susceptible to fraud than absentee ballot systems."
"More than 30 other countries allow voting by mail, including 10 that allow all voters to vote by mail, contradicting Trump's claim that the U.S. is the only country with mail-in ballots."
Trump's rhetoric about voter fraud is misleading and unsupported by evidence. Voter impersonation is nearly nonexistent, and voting by noncitizens is extremely rare. The Heritage Foundation documented only 100 cases of noncitizen voting from 1982 to 2025, representing a minuscule fraction of total votes. Studies show that mail-in voting is secure, with fraud cases being exceptionally low. Trump's assertions about mail-in ballots and election integrity are factually incorrect, as many countries successfully utilize mail-in voting systems.
