Wednesday, September 9, 2026
A U.S. Census report on noncitizen voting that President Trump referenced contained methodological flaws in its analysis, according to WIRED's examination of the report and its production process. WIRED identified several of the report's authors, including an individual with prior affiliation to DOGE, a government efficiency initiative. The publication did not specify what data or analytical errors it found. The Census Bureau has not issued an official statement on the report's methodology as of the article's publication.
