U.S. Homeland Security reports 278,000 non‑citizens on voter rolls

U.S. Homeland Security announced that its investigation identified about 278,000 non‑citizens registered on voter rolls in 21 states, based on a limited data set. The agency sent letters to states, such as New Jersey, claiming 19,000 entries matched non‑citizen records and asked for corrective action. The findings also noted more than 2,000 individuals appearing on voter lists in multiple states. Officials cited declassified emails showing the Department of Justice had previously removed evidence of Chinese interference in 220 million ballots during the Trump administration. The report has reignited debate over election‑integrity policies.
