DOJ identified 4 green card holders who voted in 2024 in NJ, or 0.00006% of total votes. As I wrote in 2024, noncitizen voting remains extraordinarily rare. Audits find only a tiny handful of cases, most often green card holders who got bad advice from others.
What do those 68 cases tell us? First, it demonstrates that proven cases of noncitizen voting are incredibly rare. Even an organization engaged in a major effort to document voter fraud produced fewer than 70 proven cases of noncitizens who voted in elections in the last 40 years.
Given that over one billion votes have been
cast over that period in thousands of elections, the incidence of proven noncitizen voting is below 0.0001%.Third, the data tells us that most cases of noncitizen voting involve lawful permanent residents-people with green cards who have been in the community for years, many who end up voting due to bad information given by government officials themselves.
The most common scenario in the cases
included in Heritage's database includes a lawful permanent resident who was encouraged by a government official to vote or falsely told that they were eligible.

If you were an able-bodied, military-age citizen during a time of war in this country and you chose to not serve, that’s perfectly valid. But you should at least have a little shame in opening your mouth to say today’s young people should be “boots on the ground” in Iran.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.
BY EMAIL
Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten
Assistant United States Att…
