Election integrity: A staggering 14% of non-citizens interviewed in Georgia said that they are registered to vote, according to a video released by the Oversight Project on X. 

• If this ratio holds true statewide, it means that 47,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in Georgia—a state that President Biden carried by fewer than 12,000 votes in 2020.  
• Elon Musk featured the video on his X feed with the comment “extremely disturbing.” By Saturday, the video has racked up more than 54 million views. 
• After the video came out, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that his office investigates “specific claims of voter fraud.” Oversight then sent him a letter offering to meet him anytime and to share the video.
