Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trump’s estimate of up to 5 million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.
The best study on the subject — a study that meets the Daubert standards for admissible evidence in a jury trial in a legal courtroom — provides substantial evidence that non-citizen voting alone likely reached over a million in this election. A trio of well-regarded scholars used scientifically approved methods to study the question of non-citizen voting in federal elections. The result of their study published in one of the best-regarded peer-review political science journals, Electoral Studies. The evidence from their study suggested upwards of 10% of non-citizens voted in 2008; given the issues implicated in this election, a higher number would be a reasonable inference for a jury to conclude. Given the increase in non-citizen members of the population, the same study’s conclusions would project out to millions of illegal votes from non-citizen voters in this election.

In the settlement with the CFPB, the two bureaus agreed to pay $5.5 million in total fines to the CFPB and $17.6 million in restitution to affected consumers. The bureaus were cited for two primary concerns: deceiving consumers with respect to the value of the credit scores that they sold and tricking them into enrolling into subscription-based programs. In announcing the CFPB action, CFPB Director Richard Cordray said, “Credit scores are central to a consumer’s financial life and people deserve honest and accurate information about them.”
