Musk’s DOGE Refers Dozens of Voter Fraud Cases to DOJ

by | May 1, 2025

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has referred dozens of alleged voter fraud cases to the Department of Justice for prosecution, according to one of his top staffers.

 

Antonio Gracias, a longtime Musk ally now working at DOGE within the Social Security Administration, said the agency identified 57 non-citizens who had registered to vote.

“We’ve referred many prosecutions to the DOJ, and they’re working on them now,” Gracias told reporters during a briefing with Musk. He noted that building the cases takes time due to the need to gather and verify data from multiple state systems. “You have to actually hand-sample the databases… you can’t compare them automatically.”

Musk and his team have repeatedly pointed to widespread fraud across government systems, particularly related to Social Security. On Wednesday, Musk said DOGE had found “hundreds of thousands” of fraudulent Social Security number uses and suggested the activity was “widely coordinated.”
