DHS says it found hundreds of thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in four states

The Department of Homeland Security says a preliminary review has uncovered more than 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote across four states, with California accounting for the vast majority.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said his agency identified thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls during the review, which examined records in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania. According to a draft press release, the reviews of the four states' records found 190,832 non-citizens registered in California, 35,152 in New Jersey, 15,903 in Nevada and 14,576 in Pennsylvania.

The California figure alone approaches two hundred thousand, dwarfing the totals in the other three states combined. New Jersey's count of more than 35,000 was the second largest, while Nevada and Pennsylvania each registered fewer than 16,000.

The findings remain preliminary, and the numbers come from a draft release rather than a finalized report. The agency has not yet detailed how the review was conducted, how registrations were matched against citizenship records, or whether any of the flagged individuals actually cast ballots.
