As many as 40 percent of the noncitizens present in Maine, including those who entered the U.S. illegally and those with legal alien status, may have voted in the 2024 elections or had votes cast in their names, according to records obtained and reviewed by the Maine Wire.
That figure is based on a collection of MaineCare records obtained by the Maine Wire, as well as voter data from the Central Voter Registration (CVR) system maintained by Maine’s Secretary of State. While the MaineCare records show the individual’s immigration status, date of birth, and home address, the CVR records show when they registered to vote and whether they voted in a given election.
Taken together, the MaineCare records and CVR data offer the first public proof that noncitizens have been illegally registered to vote in Maine and are illegally voting or having illegal votes cast in their names in potentially large numbers.
Previously, the Maine Wire reported in October that MaineCare and CVR records related to 18 noncitizens revealed that six of the individuals were registered to vote, and five had votes cast in their names since 2016.
Editor’s Note: Since the publication of the Maine Wire’s original investigation into noncitizen voting, we have offered the opportunity to review our underlying records in person to both Republican and Democratic elected officials. While no Democrats have accepted our offer, several Republicans have, and they can attest to the veracity and accuracy of our reporting. We have also shared redacted but sensitive versions of the records underlying this reporting with the Bangor Daily News, the Maine Monitor, WGME, and any other media outlet that has requested proof of the assertions made in our reporting. The information shared with these outlets is more than enough for them to prove for themselves that noncitizens are registered to vote in Maine.
None of these news outlets have filed reports of their own based on those records.
We have taken this approach toward sharing proof of our reporting while simultaneously refusing to turn over the records to Maine’s Attorney General and Secretary of State in order to protect the identity of any source(s). We have also declined to turn over our records to agents of the state in order to protect the identities of the noncitizens who may, in fact, themselves be victims of a form of identity theft. We understand the gravity of the facts conveyed in these reports and have taken unusual and extreme measures to prove that our reporting is accurate and true.
Since the original report, the Maine Wire has acquired additional MaineCare records and cross-referenced those with CVR voting records as well to determine that 40 percent of the sample is registered to vote illegally. In total, the Maine Wire has identified ten noncitizens who are registered to vote out of a total population of 25 noncitizens enrolled in MaineCare. . .
