The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has discovered 256,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in four blue states.
DHS said this week that a preliminary review uncovered over a quarter-million noncitizens on voter rolls in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
Tens of thousands of the noncitizens were on voter rolls in the latter three states, while an estimated nearly 200,000 noncitizens were on the rolls in California, according to a draft press release from DHS.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has already dismissed the report as “false and misleading”:
California law is clear: You MUST be a U.S. citizen to vote state and federal elections.
Voter fraud is EXTREMELY RARE — and almost always committed by U.S. citizens.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent letters to all four states dated Friday announcing the discovery. In the letters, Mullin said that DHS found the noncitizens by comparing “publicly available voter registration records with federal immigration data,” according to Fox News.
To help states self-identify noncitizens who’re registered to vote, the Trump administration has been offering states access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system. However, California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania all opted to not use the system, prompting the administration to conduct its own separate review of their voting records.
“State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants,” the press release reads.
The press release similarly praised those states — including Georgia, Ohio and Tennessee — that have been using the SAVE system for being “serious about ensuring that only US citizens vote in US elections.”
“There is an undeniable pattern emerging as DHS begins to unravel the horrific damage done by the open border policies of the Biden administration,” the press release continues. “States that have adopted alien-first policies instead of American-first policies have a disproportionate number of non-citizens on their voter rolls.”

News of these voting noncitizens comes alongside President Donald Trump’s bombshell primetime address this Thursday announcing massive foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election.
“Tonight, I’m announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure,” the president said. “This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes — and really exposes — like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference.”
“The documents we will release, starting tonight, have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force — a great group of people — along with the staff of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity,” he added.

The president also took a stab at “electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems,” which he described as “vulnerable” and “easily compromised.”
“Tonight, we’re publishing a series of previously classified US intelligence community assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack,” he insisted.
“As one assessment states, ‘We judge that The United States’ adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure.’ But that’s some statement, isn’t it, made by supposedly great patriots of our country,” he added.
