Nonvoters, Registered Democrats Among Those Arrested at Capitol Protest

Nonvoters and registered Democrats were among those who were arrested at the January 6 Capitol protest, an analysis of voting records show.

Some Democrats are offering Republicans an ultimatum, continuing to blame them and their supporters for the events that transpired on the day Congress convened to certify the electoral vote.

While the dominating narrative remains that Trump supporters and voters, specifically, rushed the Capitol that day to protest the election results, voting records show that some of the individuals involved in the riot were registered Democrats, and others did not even cast a ballot in the 2020 presidential election.

According to CNN, which analyzed the data of over 180 of those arrested, "At least eight of the people who are now facing criminal charges for their involvement in the events at the Capitol did not vote in the November 2020 presidential election, according to an analysis of voting records from the states where protestors were arrested and those states where public records show they have lived."

While it is true that "Most" of the 80 had voted in the presidential election and "Many" were registered Republicans, the analysis found that "a handful were registered as Democrats in those jurisdictions that provided party information."

Among those who didn't vote were a 65-year-old Georgia man who, according to government documents, was found in his van with a fully-loaded pistol and ammunition, and a Louisiana man who publicly bragged about spending nearly two hours inside the Capitol after attending Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally.

CNN also cited Jessica Stern, a Boston University professor who "Believes a number of factors could have been at play" among those who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
