House Panel Seeks 3 Classified Briefings on Non-Citizen Voting as Midterms Near 100-Day Mark

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 30

Summary

  • Chairman Bryan Steil asked DHS, the FBI and the acting DNI for member-level classified briefings in September on non-citizen voter registration, election-system cyber vulnerabilities and alleged Chinese interference.
  • The request cites Trump's claims that DHS found about 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote, plus New Jersey's disclosure that 6,600 non-citizens were mistakenly added to voter rolls in 2023 and 2024.
  • Steil said reports of more than 400 non-citizens casting ballots in New Jersey and warnings about cyberattacks on election infrastructure justify possible legislative changes, including proof-of-citizenship registration rules and a federal voter ID standard.
  • Less than 100 days before the November midterms, the push sharpens a long-running partisan fight: Republicans say tighter safeguards are needed, while Democrats argue such claims erode trust in elections.
  • No evidence has been found that non-citizen voting changed the outcome of any federal election.
