President Trump early Friday claimed that authorities have identified 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in U.S. federal elections, a report that matches earlier expectations of such an announcement. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, Trump was expected to make the claim during a Thursday evening primetime speech on election security. The current report, attributed to a single source, indicates the claim was indeed made. The figure has not been independently verified, and the source of the identification remains undisclosed. The claim is likely to fuel further debate on election integrity measures ahead of the midterm elections.
