After praise for India, Trump orders checking of voter records in US, says 24,000 illegal votes found so far

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the Census Bureau to review voter records in the United States, claiming that over 24,000 non-citizens have allegedly cast illegal votes in the 2020 presidential elections. Trump's push for the SAVE AMERICA Act, aimed at tightening voter registration and identification requirements, stems from a conversation with India's Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who had questioned the validity of U.S. elections without photo identification.

The Census Bureau is set to analyze the next 32 million voters, a development that Trump believes will "explode" the number of illegal votes found so far.
