Former President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread illegal voting in Nevada have collapsed after an extensive review.
The investigation began with allegations that 15,000 noncitizens had voted in the state.
That number was quickly reduced to 185 potential cases as officials examined the records.
In the end, no confirmed cases of illegal voting by noncitizens were found.
The outcome marks another setback for the Trump administration’s push to prove election fraud.
Federal and state officials have repeatedly found that noncitizen voting is extremely rare.
Decades of data across multiple states support that conclusion.
The Nevada review is the latest example of a fraud claim that did not withstand scrutiny.
Election experts say such claims often rely on flawed data or misunderstandings of voter rolls.
The Department of Homeland Security played a role in the Nevada inquiry, according to reports.
No evidence emerged to support the original 15,000-vote allegation.
The case adds to a pattern of unsubstantiated fraud claims following the 2020 election.
Officials continue to affirm that U.S. elections are secure and fraud is minimal.
