DHS Draft Finds Thousands of Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls in Four States

The Department of Homeland Security says a preliminary review found thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in California (about 190,832), New Jersey (35,152), Nevada (15,903) and Pennsylvania (14,576). The draft press release does not show evidence that any non-citizens voted or explain how the totals were calculated, and it plans letters to state election officials asking for collaboration to ensure free and fair elections. Officials note many flagged individuals are false positives and that voting by non-citizens is illegal; the report comes as Trump pushes for greater federal election control.
