DHS's Dubious Voter Claims Spark Backlash from State Officials The Department of Homeland Security's claims that tens of thousands of noncitizens are on voter rolls have been met with skepticism by state officials.
These officials see the federal government's efforts as an attempt to politicize the electoral process.
The controversy began when DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin wrote to officials in Nevada, Pennsylvania, California, and New Jersey, suggesting these states had more than 250,000 noncitizens on their voter rolls combined.
