Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin recently announced that 250,000 noncitizens were registered to vote in four states. The Department of Homeland Security compared public voter rolls with federal immigration records to reach this figure. The states involved in the comparison were Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California.
The announcement was presented as evidence supporting claims of widespread noncitizen voting. However, in Nevada, the numbers do not appear to support the department's claims. The department identified 15,903 noncitizens registered to vote in Nevada.
Further details about the comparison and its findings are available from the source. The announcement has been touted as a significant discovery, but its implications and accuracy are still being examined.
