Non-citizens have been added to state voter rolls, primarily through motor vehicle departments, despite those people clearly telling them they are not United States Citizens.
Many of those non-citizens were added through “motor voter” process at motor vehicle departments, which began with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
Those non-citizens being illegally registered to vote can jeopardize their chance of becoming naturalized citizens.
An election integrity group found many non-citizens who are illegally registered to vote.
The president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) told Just The News that non-citizens had been registered to vote in Pennsylvania for decades.
“Pennsylvania had been registering non-citizens, by admission – this wasn’t some conspiracy on the internet – and they admitted they had been registering non-citizens for 20 years at PennDOT, and it was a glitch, they called it,” Adams said.
“So we use the National Voter Registration Act to go in to try to get the records of how bad the problem was, the records of how they fixed the problem or allegedly fixed it, and they’ve been stonewalling us for about seven years.”
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt told a Pennsylvania Senate committee in 2017 that there were well over 100,000 matches of voter registration records to state driver’s license numbers with indicators showing Immigration and Naturalization Service.
“While the matches don’t mean that all were registered to vote,” Schmidt said.
“We’re not talking about an insignificant number here. We’re talking about a potentially very significant number of thousands and tens of thousands.”
In the same year, the Pennsylvania Department of State announced that records indicated that 1,160 non-citizens had requested the cancellation of their voter registrations since 1972.
In California, PILF filed a federal lawsuit against the Alameda County Registrar of Voters for failing to disclose records of nationals registering to vote, effectively violating the NVRA.
Adams also noted that non-citizens had been placed on voter rolls through motor vehicle departments by lying about their citizenship.
“[W] e’ve collected over the years of the data on how non-citizens get in, and it’s largely by not telling the truth in the motor voter process. And it includes people here on green cards, people here legally,” Adams added.
“Most of the people who get registered to vote, according to the data we’ve collected, are actual, legal residents, like 90% of them, 95%. And so they get sucked into the system, through motor voter, through DMV, and they get registered to vote that way, and it’s a big problem,” he continued.
In some cases, non-citizens still get on the voter rolls even if they disclose their citizenship status.
“People get registered to vote when they tell, on their voter registration form, the election officials, that they are not a citizen,” Adams said.
“We have hundreds where they actually mark on the form, ‘hello, not a citizen,’ and they still get registered to vote,” he explained.
Non-citizens can also get onto voter rolls via nonprofits.
While non-citizens cannot vote in federal and state elections, they can vote in local elections in California, Maryland, and Vermont.
As the Daily Fetched reported last week, a new study suggested that 2.7 million non-citizens could cast votes in the 2024 election in November.
A nonprofit research institute, Just Facts, found that around “10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are now illegally registered to vote.”
Just Facts study author James Agresti warned that non-citizens can register to vote relatively quickly.
“In no state in the nation are they required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote,” Agresti told The Washington Stand.
“And if you look at the federal voter registration form, it says you can submit all different forms of I.D. to register. That could be a Social Security number, it could be a driver’s license number, or it could just be a utility bill.”
“I mean, these are things that anyone can get by living here. They do not prove you’re a U.S. citizen.”
“And more than that, a lot of non-citizens have faked Social Security numbers, especially illegal immigrants,” he added. “That’s what they do to work.”
