    A new study of immigration in the U.S. found that up to 5.7 million non-citizens may have voted in the 2008 presidential election and as many as 3.6 million in the 2012 election.

    The study was published last week by a nonprofit institute called Just Facts, based in New Jersey. Researcher James Agresti examined a number of polls, including one done by McLaughlin & Associates in 2013, and three studies by Harvard University researchers analyzing YouGov surveys.

    In the 2008 YouGov survey of 32,800 adults, 15 percent who said they were non-citizens also said that they were registered to vote. An additional 12 percent of non-citizens who participated in the survey were found to be registered to vote, even though they had said they were not.
