DHS Alleges More Than 250,000 Noncitizens May Be Registered to Vote in Four Key States

Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to pressure states over voter rolls and urged Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require photo voter ID.

  • The Department of Homeland Security has alleged that over 250,000 noncitizens may be registered to vote across four key states, urging local election officials to immediately verify their voter rolls.
  • California topped the agency's list with an estimated 190,832 potential noncitizen registrations, followed by New Jersey , Nevada , and Pennsylvania . DHS claims these registrations matched names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers of noncitizens in federal databases.
  • President Trump highlighted the findings during a national address, asserting that a newly declassified trove of documents vindicates his long-standing allegations of widespread voter fraud and puts pressure on lawmakers to pass stricter voter ID laws.
  • A federal judge recently blocked DHS from continuing work on its central voter database, ruling in a legal challenge that inaccurate and outdated federal data has previously resulted in eligible U.S. citizens being "wrongfully identified" as noncitizens.
  • Nonpartisan election experts and voting rights advocates strongly dispute the figures, arguing that database-matching algorithms frequently produce false positives and that independent audits consistently show actual noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare.
