Aggressive DHS hunt for voter fraud only finding a handful of possible noncitizen cases
ms.now • • nation
Key Points:
- Former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officials revealed that many flagged individuals in voter fraud probes are "derived citizens" without documentation, and few cases advance to formal investigations or charges.
- Pennsylvania and Connecticut state officials reported no communications from DHS regarding voter fraud investigations or subpoenas related to election activities.
- ProPublica found only 41 alleged non-citizen voters charged with unlawful voting from January 2025 to May 2026, amid over 150 million votes cast in recent elections, highlighting the rarity of noncitizen voting.
- DHS has identified over 24,000 potential non-U.S. citizens on voter rolls using the SAVE database, a figure much lower than previous claims of 250,000, but this large-scale voter fraud investigation is unprecedented for HSI.
- Critics argue the administration’s focus on noncitizen voter fraud aims to undermine election integrity and sow doubt about a secure voting system, especially as the party faces potential losses in upcoming elections.
