The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project on Thursday released video it claims shows non-citizens in Arizona confirm they intend to vote in the November elections, including several who indicated a political preference for Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.
A video released by the Oversight Project and Muckraker Founder Anthony Rubin purportedly shows non-citizens confirming they are registered to vote in Arizona and intend to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
Rubin explained he visited an Arizona apartment complex under the guise of registering new voters, stating, “The responses we obtained destroy the narrative that non-citizens participating in United States elections is a conspiracy theory.”
The group claimed to locate six non-citizens who confirmed they were registered to vote, and according to translations provided by the Oversight Project, three claimed they were registered to vote by activists.
“There was an application that asked me. It was in the place of the assistance, where they help us Hispanics when we come here,” one person told the Oversight Project. “I marked yes, so I could vote, but if you wish you could register me… A question came up asking me if I wanted to vote, and I said yes.”

When asked if he was a U.S. citizen, the man replied, “I’m waiting for my residency right now.”
The group obtained a similar confirmation of an intention to vote from a second person who claimed to be registered at a supermarket. A third person claimed they were registered to vote while at work, and another said an activist came to their door.
Multiple self-identified non-citizens told the Oversight Project they intend to vote for Harris, including one man who claimed to be from Cuba.
“Trump says he’ll start deporting us on the first day,” said the man. “Look, Trump is a businessman. Kamala Harris isn’t a businesswoman. But I think Kamala is with the community but things will stay the same.”
The man reflected, “Gas prices will go up, all the gas money is going to the war… She’s with the community, but they make promises they don’t keep,” before confirming he will nonetheless vote for the Democrat.
Non-citizens are prohibited from voting in federal elections. They are similarly blocked from voting in most states, but a recent analysis discovered thousands of non-citizens are listed on voter rolls in various states ahead of the November elections.
Despite Democrats generally dismissing concerns about non-citizen voting, the U.S. Department of Justice earlier this month indicted an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who allegedly obtained a false identity in 2011 and used it to vote in multiple elections while living in Alabama.
