Nearly 400 non-citizens voted in DC's 2024 general election: Judicial Watch

Nearly 400 non-citizens voted in Washington, D.C.'s 2024 general election, according to public records, Judicial Watch reported on Tuesday.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the District of Columbia Board of Elections sent Judicial Watch a spreadsheet showing that 388 non-citizens voted in the November general election.

More than 230 of the non-citizen voters are registered Democrats, compared to less than 20 who are registered Republicans, and the rest either registered with a third party or did not register with a party.

“It is an outrage and insult to every American citizen, and may be a violation of federal law, that DC allowed 388 foreign nationals to vote in the 2024 general election,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement on Tuesday. “Congress can and should end this practice immediately.”

While non-citizens are prohibited from voting in federal, state, and most local elections, the states of California, Maryland, and Vermont, and Washington, D.C., allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.

House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told the “John Solomon Reports” podcast in May that Washington, D.C., is the Democrats’ “petri dish” for getting “non-citizens to vote in our elections.” He also said in a committee hearing that month that 500 non-citizens were registered to vote in Washington, D.C.

Judicial Watch reported in July that 113 non-citizens voted in the June 2024 Presidential Primary, according to public records released by the District of Columbia Board of Elections.
