State Finds some Registered Texas Voters Were Wrongly Flagged as Potential Noncitizens
State officials say federal authorities have not shared the list or methodology behind claims that 14,576 noncitizens may be on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls.
On Wednesday, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt demanded that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin disclose the methodology used to identify 14,576 potential noncitizens allegedly registered to vote in Pennsylvania.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump alleged the Department of Homeland Security identified more than 250,000 noncitizens on voter rolls in Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, and Nevada during a primetime address.
Election officials and experts have questioned the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program's accuracy, noting it often fails to locate current citizenship information for naturalized individuals.
The Department of Homeland Security has not shared the requested list or methodology with Pennsylvania officials, while state leaders emphasized past federal analyses relied on "faulty methodologies" that produced inaccurate results.
A federal judge recently blocked an overhaul of the SAVE program citing accuracy issues, underscoring tensions between voter roll maintenance and protecting eligible voters from erroneous removal.
