Noncitizen-voter claims spark scrutiny as Trump presses midterm voting bill

A DHS letter claiming as many as about 250,000 noncitizens were registered to vote in California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania drew skepticism from state officials who questioned data reliability and methodology; New Jersey and Pennsylvania reported far fewer improper registrations and noted ongoing corrections, while Nevada and Pennsylvania callers questioned the method used. The episode feeds Donald Trump’s push for a citizenship-proof voting requirement (SAVE Act), though the bill faces resistance in the Senate and critics warn that many eligible voters lack easily verifiable documents. The dispute highlights the partisan fight over election integrity ahead of the midterms.
