The Department of Homeland Security is releasing more data behind President Trump\u2019s claims of voter rolls littered with noncitizens, saying its own review found more than 190,000 suspect names in California and 35,000 in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

DHS\u00a0said it\u00a0also identified nearly 16,000 names in Nevada and almost 15,000 in Pennsylvania that its review flagged as possible noncitizens.<\/p>\n

Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent letters to the secretaries of state in each\u00a0of them,\u00a0giving them a two-week deadline to work with him on plans to cleanse their lists.<\/p>\n

\u201cElection security is national security,\u201d he said Friday. \u201dOnly Americans should be electing American leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Mullin was putting meat on the bones of Mr. Trump\u2019s primetime speech Thursday, when he revealed the broad outlines of DHS\u2019 new estimates.<\/p>\n

The department\u00a0said it\u00a0identified the potential noncitizens through a review of the four states\u2019 public voter lists.<\/p>\n

Some 25 other states have worked with DHS, running their\u00a0own voter lists through a department system for verifying\u00a0citizenship and legal status. DHS says those 25 states\u00a0have\u00a0identified 28,000 potential noncitizens on their rolls, as well as more than 400,000 names of dead people.<\/p>\n

Texas ran its file and identified 2,296 noncitizens out of more than 18 million registered voters, or 1 in every 10,000.<\/p>\n

If that same rate applied to California,\u00a0it would mean the state would have about 2,800 noncitizens on its rolls \u2014 far fewer than the 190,832 that DHS said it\u00a0found in its \u201cpreliminary reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exact number was 35,152 for New Jersey, 15,903 for Nevada 15,903 and 14,576 for Pennsylvania.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Being on the voter rolls doesn\u2019t automatically mean someone has cast a ballot in a federal election, and proven cases of illegal voting by noncitizens are quite rare, averaging in the low double digits a year.<\/p>\n

The Washington Times has reached out to the states for comment.<\/p>\n

California has downplayed the notion of noncitizens on its voter rolls.<\/p>\n

When The Times sought records of noncitizen voters in 2024, the California secretary of state\u2019s office reported that it didn\u2019t \u201chave any data to report on instances of noncitizens voting or being incorrectly registered and removed from the voting rolls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local jurisdictions, though, have acknowledged the issue.<\/p>\n

Orange County last year notified the federal government it removed 17 people from its voter rolls after realizing they weren\u2019t citizens. The county said it investigated after receiving complaints from noncitizens that they received ballots in the mail under California\u2019s all-mail election system.<\/p>\n
