The documents reveal that claims of widespread illegal voting by noncitizens are based on samples of as few as 14 people.

In response to interviews about the newly revealed documents, its author has admitted his work does not support Trump’s claim that millions of people voted illegally. Now, in an interview with ThinkProgress, even Kobach himself is wavering on the claim....
