DOJ says it will take 'aggressive actions' to secure midterm elections

The DOJ said it charged 32 noncitizens in four weeks and will add postal audits and other enforcement steps to protect voting rules.

  • With midterm elections only six weeks away, Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter announced Tuesday that the DOJ is implementing new ballot security and fraud prevention measures.
  • Over the past four weeks, the DOJ has charged 32 noncitizens with unlawful voting and registration offenses, bringing the total charged during the second Trump administration to 70.
  • Homeland Security Investigations deputy head Matthew Milholland reported more than 1,600 voter fraud cases leading to over 160 arrests, while a Census Bureau analysis found roughly 24,000 noncitizen votes among 128 million ballots cast in 2020.
  • Rep Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., dubbed the SAVE America Act a "voter suppression bill," while Congressional Democrats accused the administration of spreading "misinformation and anxiety" about elections.
  • The SAVE America Act remains stalled in the Senate after passing the House, though Republicans argue it would prevent fraud and secure midterm victories in states with weak election security.
