MPR has learned in unusual census bureau report that President Trump says shows widespread illegal voting by non-US citizens as ties to a Trump-aligned think tank. MPR's hauntsy low-wong reports a data and election experts say the report's conclusions are questionable. In a social media post, President Trump claimed the Census Bureau's initial analysis

voted illegally." Unquote. Trump said the final number will quote "expload after the Bureau checks more records." Many past studies and audits, however, show illegal voting by non-US citizens is incredibly rare.
