Trump used a prime-time address to allege a large number of noncitizens are on voting rolls and vowed to punish states for lax voter protections, but experts and officials say the figure is exaggerated and that noncitizen voting is rare; the controversy is tied to federal demands for state voter rolls and the administration's broader election-security push.
