Louisiana election investigation finds 79 noncitizens have voted since 1980s

Louisiana’s top election official said she has discovered 390 non-citizen registered voters in the state, with 79 voting in at least one election over the past several decades.

The 390 suspected non-citizen voters represent approximately 0.01% of the roughly 2.9 million registered voters in Louisiana.

Secretary of State Nancy Landry, a Republican, said Thursday at a news conference she called that the results are the “preliminary findings” of an investigation her office launched in May after gaining access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, which the Trump administration rolled out to state and local governments this year.

Landry said her investigators ran names from Louisiana’s voter rolls through the SAVE database and worked with the FBI to confirm their citizenship status. Investigators scoured state voting records going back to the 1980s, she said.

Cancel the 2026 midterms, now!

2. I wonder how much this investigation cost.

I hope it was worth it. While they were studying this issue they should have checked to see if any noncitizens ever changed the outcome of an election in Louisiana. If it's ever happened in the U.S., I doubt it's been more than a few times, if that much.

3. Notice how this article doesn't distinguish between national and local elections

I suspect this article is designed to conflate local with national and state elections.

Non-citizens are sometimes allowed to vote in certain local elections, like for a school board.

Notice paragraph 7 of the article where Landry claims "some local elections have been decided by just a handful of votes".

I want to know how many non-citizens they think they found voting in a national election for president. Until then I smell bullshit.

4. What a waste of taxpayer funds!

I know: how about let's pay to find out if TSF's team, cheated for him in 2024?
