Decades-Long Noncitizen Voter Registrations Surface Across States

A Fox News analysis highlights a 25-year pattern of noncitizens appearing on US voter rolls, with New Jersey reporting about 6,600 ineligible registrations (fewer than 400 of which reportedly voted) and DHS preliminarily claiming up to 250,000 noncitizens registered to vote in four states. State reviews across Louisiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, and others have found hundreds to thousands of noncitizen records and some ballots cast. The lack of a uniform federal standard for reporting roll-cleaning makes nationwide scale unclear. Officials, including DOJ, stress that voting by noncitizens is illegal and advocate for stronger audits and reporting to tighten election integrity.

Van Drew Puts Subpoenas on the Table as NJ Noncitizen Voter Flap Grows

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee, says he is “absolutely exploring” subpoenas and will hold fall hearings on New Jersey’s noncitizen voter-registration debacle, depending on how much information Gov. Mikie Sherrill releases. About 6,600 noncitizens were added to NJ’s voter rolls from 2023–2024, with roughly 400 casting ballots; Sherrill says none of those ballots affected elections. The row involves a 2018 motor-voter law and blame between the state and vendor IDEMIA. The Trump administration has pressed for data by a tight deadline, while Sherrill resists sharing personally identifying information; Democrats favor an independent review before taking further action.

NJ Voter Roll Dispute: IDEMIA Says Data Transfer, Not Software, Caused the Issue

IDEMIA disputes Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s claim of a serious software error causing thousands of noncitizens to appear on New Jersey’s voter rolls, saying the fault lies with state data transfers from the Motor Vehicle Commission to the Division of Elections. The state had planned to end its contract with the vendor before the scandal surfaced, and an independent investigation is underway. About 6,600 individuals indicated noncitizen status in 2023–24, with roughly 400 casting ballots; Republicans demand a broader, subpoena-powered review and federal data requests have been issued.

FBI ends Nevada 2020 voter-fraud inquiry after finding 38 possible noncitizen votes

The FBI closed its Nevada 2020 election-fraud inquiry after reviewing voter rolls against DHS citizenship data and identifying only 38 possible noncitizen voters, with the statute of limitations expiring for potential charges. The probe, ordered by Nevada’s top federal prosecutor Sigal Chattah, raised questions about why similar investigations continue in Georgia and Arizona.
