Ty Cobb dismisses claims of non-citizen voting as fabricated scenario
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb told MS NOW’s “State of Play” that allegations of non-citizens voting are not a real phenomenon.
During a discussion on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” former White House attorney Ty Cobb asserted that reports of non-citizen voting lack substance. He warned that a presidential declaration of a national emergency, possibly invoking the Insurrection Act, would limit judicial ability to remove troops from polling places. Cobb cited a Heritage Foundation review that identified just 77 to 95 cases of non-citizen voting in a 20-year span in the early 2000s, labeling recent claims as fabricated.
He suggested that officials, including Stephen Miller and Todd Blanche, are pushing investigations to generate inflated figures that could legitimize emergency measures. According to Cobb, these tactics aim to preserve power ahead of an anticipated Democratic wave in the upcoming election.
Why it matters
The remarks highlight how election-integrity claims are being used to justify potential emergency powers.
