Carlos Felipe Jaramillo Grajales spent more than two decades in Duval County, Florida, under a stolen identity, and on Aug. 12 a federal judge finally caught up with him: three years in prison, then a one-way ticket to Colombia. He didn’t hack a voting machine or stuff a ballot box. In 2003, he walked into a Florida office, handed over a real American’s name, birth date, and Social Security number, and rented himself a life: a driver’s license in March, then a U.S. passport in May that was renewed twice without a raised eyebrow. He registered to vote in December 2010 and cast ballots in several elections, including the 2020 general.

Then the timing got almost comedic. A new Census Bureau analysis, released Tuesday, concluded with “high confidence” that more than 24,000 of the more than 128 million voters it examined in the 2020 election were noncitizens. Statisticians are already picking apart the bureau’s methodology, and fairly so; the report skipped its usual margin-of-error disclosures. I’ll grant the critics that one. But methodology fights aside, nobody disputes what happened to Jaramillo Grajales. He’s not a modeling assumption. He’s a man in a federal prison jumpsuit.
