Trump Says U.S. Election System Is ‘Broken’ and ‘Vulnerable’ After DHS Review Found Noncitizens on Voter Rolls

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) review found roughly 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections, arguing the findings expose major weaknesses in the U.S. election system.

Speaking during a primetime speech to address foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections, Trump said the DHS compared state voter registration lists with public records and identified about 278,000 noncitizens on voter rolls. He claimed the figure is incomplete because several Democrat-led states did not provide their voter registration data.

“Since Democrat states refused to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that. Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote,” Trump said.

Trump also claimed foreign governments have access to large amounts of U.S. voter data, warned that voting machines and ballot tabulation systems remain vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, and accused countries such as China of attempting to influence American elections.

“Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it. It is not defensible. Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments,” Trump added. “Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking, manipulation and corruption. China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections.”

Trump said that voter rolls still contain hundreds of thousands of noncitizens and deceased individuals.

“Evidence of fraud has been buried. Hundreds of thousands of noncitizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls,” Trump continued. “And yet, we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.”

Trump Drops Bombshell Election Fraud Intel. Here’s What It Says.

President Donald Trump addressed the nation Thursday night, and during his speech, he revealed that China pulled off “the largest compromise of election data in history,” stealing 220 million U.S. voter files. He didn’t stop there. Trump told the country he was releasing evidence documenting just how compromised our elections have become.

That evidence is now public. The White House posted a batch of previously classified documents on a dedicated webpage, and they paint a picture of an election system compromised by hostile foreign governments and shielded by internal cover-ups. The administration is using the disclosures to push for voter ID, proof of citizenship, and tighter controls on mail ballots.

For years, officials assured Americans that election infrastructureelectronic voting machines, ballot-counting systems, all of it, was secure. The documents released this week directly contradict that claim.

“We judge that U.S. adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure,” a declassified U.S. Intelligence Community assessment states. It also warned that “centralized election-related data repositories, such as voter registration databases, pollbooks, and official election websites, are most vulnerable to exploitation, and adversaries could use access to these systems to disrupt election processes.”

The most alarming revelations include that the CIA reportedly obtained intelligence on a specific plot by the Maduro regime in Venezuela to digitally rig its own 2020 election, using methods designed to shift vote totals in ways that would survive an audit undetected. And starting around the 2020 cycle, China allegedly carried out that historic data heist, illicitly acquiring 220 million voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, and party affiliations, complete with a dedicated data exploitation unit assigned to the job.

Worse Than the Third World? Trump Exposes Mind-Blowing Election Compromising and Cheating

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic.

“No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that’s very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and “Deep State,” malicious actors have stolen voters’ data, hacked electronic voting machines, manufactured fake ballots, and bribed fraudsters. It’s an “unprecedented election security nightmare.” And both Joe Biden and Barack Obama apparently benefited.

The president revealed a staggeringly gargantuan number from newly declassified documents: “Over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China’s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities,” Trump said.

The genocidal, America-hating Chinese Communist Party even had a special data exploitation unit dedicated to stealing U.S. voter data. “Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the Deep State, a very, very famous group of people,” were complicit, with U.S. intelligence agencies covering up the evidence.

One of the most significant revelations in Trump’s speech regarded the 2020 election. “Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China’s activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden,” Trump said, confirming election interference from our number one enemy on behalf of Biden. “Documents show that during this period, dozens of significant CIA and NSA reports about China’s election targeting were kept out of the presidential briefing. These were briefings I would get almost every day.” The fix was in. One email explicitly admitted to leaving out information given to Trump during his first term in office.

Failing German Chancellor Merz ‘Warns’ Trump Administration To STAY OUT of European Elections

Whine as he may, MAGA will help restore Europe’s greatness.

Like so many other Euro-Globalist ‘leaders’, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hops from summit to summit, splashing his face on the news cycle, as much is said and little gets done.

Back home, no joy awaits him, as polls show that Merz is now the most unpopular politician in Germany, with a personal rating that has sunk to a historic low of 13% favorability.

He even has to manage the efforts by his own party to replace him with a younger leader.

So, prodded by the MSM, he tries to find some solace by making repeated statements against the US Donald J. Trump administration – it’s a cheap way to score a few points with the leftists.

Today (15), he is issuing a warning – yes, you read it right – against Trump and the MAGA movement to stay out of European elections.

Merz is reportedly pushing back against a new, million-dollar funding scheme from the US to support ‘free speech and religious liberty’ in Europe.

The problem is that the warning is not going to fly, because this outreach to Europe is part of the deepest levels of foreign policy, as it can be read clearly in the 2025 National Security Strategy:

“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

There’s more:

“Protection of Core Rights and Liberties – The purpose of the American government is to secure the God-given natural rights of American citizens.

[…] In particular, the rights of free speech, freedom of religion and of conscience, and the right to choose and steer our common government are core rights that must never be infringed. Regarding countries that share, or say they share, these principles, the United States will advocate strongly that they be upheld in letter and spirit. We will oppose elite-driven, anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and the rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.”

And finally: “We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net Zero” ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries.”

According to MS NOW, Trump will speak about the newly declassified intelligence.

DOJ Warns Election Officials In All 50 States They Can Face Criminal Charges For Allowing Non-Citizens To Vote

The election officials of all 50 states received a letter last week from the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division informing them they may be prosecuted if non-citizens are permitted to vote in an election and their ballots are counted.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon confirmed Thursday that the letters were sent out to the officials of all 50 states.

“I saw some, you know, hyperventilating from some, including the, I think, lieutenant governor in Utah – who’s also the election official – and she seemed to think she was being persecuted because Utah is refusing to hand over their voter rolls in our civil litigation,” Dhillon remarked to John Solomon on Just the News’ show “No Noise.”

“No, Deirdre, this is not aimed at you,” Dhillon said. “It is for everybody, and you know, in fact, many election officials are lawyers. They know this, but no one has been enforcing these parts of our laws, and we’re enforcing them. We’re enforcing them against people who voted illegally. There are criminal prosecutions ongoing in that regard, and we’re going to enforce them against the people whose responsibility is to ensure that doesn’t happen if they look the other way.”

According to the report, within just the past several months, the DOJ has achieved some two dozen voting arrests, prosecutions, or convictions on non-citizens. With about 90 more cases under investigation, Dhillon underscored that the letters sent to state election officials informs those individuals that they can face criminal charges as well for allowing non-citizens to remain on voter rolls and cast ballots in elections.

About a dozen states that have agreed to hand over their voter rolls to the DOJ have already identified 20,000 to 30,000 non-citizens on their lists, DOJ officials told Just the News, adding that they cite three primary problem areas in states’ voter rolls prior to the 2026 midterm election: 1) hundreds of thousands of dead people still on the rolls and listed as eligible to vote; 2) tens of thousands of illegal aliens on the rolls; and 3) many foreigners registering and voting in a federal election.

Dhillon stressed the importance of the election integrity issue to Greg Kelly of Newsmax’s “Greg Kelly Reports.”

“[I]f we’re going to have a country, we have to enforce its laws,” she said. “And for too long, these laws that criminalize not only non-citizen voting but also election officials and others willingly allowing it, going looking the other way, conspiring to do it, enabling it – that’s a crime too. But you know, we’ve seen very few, if any, prosecutions under those laws. So, I wanted to spell it out for the election officials, make sure that they’re on notice.”

Non-Citizen Voting Arrests Continue To Mount, State Officials Put On Notice

The Trump Justice Department has secured roughly two dozen non-citizens voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months, with another nearly 90 more cases under investigation.

Just the News reports that the wave of prosecutions represents a growing number of individuals charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners.

Department of Justice (DOJ) officials say all 50 states were sent notices this month that election officials can and will be prosecuted too if they allow non-citizens to vote.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told the Just the News, “This is not some idle threat.”

The letters state that state election officers face potential criminal penalties for “aiding and abetting” non-citizen voting. This includes knowingly retaining non-citizens on voting registration lists or assisting them with obtaining and casting ballots.

State officials were given a strict 5-day deadline by the DOJ to submit explanations of how they are complying with federal voter eligibility laws.

Dhillon drew a clear line on non-citizen voting, saying:

It isn’t just bad policy to let non-citizens vote in federal elections, it’s a crime. And this Department of Justice will intend to prosecute that crime if these election officials, having been informed that they are non-citizens on the voter rolls, knowingly allow those people to vote, enable their enrollment on the voter rolls, are passive in the face of this knowledge, etc.

Dhillon believes the numbers of foreigners illicitly voting in elections is probably higher but has been frustrated that U.S. Attorney offices across the country haven’t made illegal voting a larger priority until just recently.

Federal law requires voters to be American citizens to vote on the federal level, but some states and cities allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.

The DOJ push comes as President Donald Trump tries to persuade a hesitant U.S. Senate to pass the Save America Act that would impose citizenship and voter ID on all federal election voters.

GOP Lawmakers Rebuke Elissa Slotkin Saying SAVE Act Would Hurt Women

Several Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), have rebuked Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) for saying that the SAVE Act would hurt women voters.

Speaking at a town hall, Slotkin said that the SAVE Act was designed to “rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”

She also said it would “disenfranchise all married women,” adding that they would have to show their birth certificates at the polls if they have a married name.

Sen. Rand Paul and other lawmakers clapped back in posts on X, dismissing her claims as “false.”

“This talking point from the Left is not only false, but it also paints women as incapable, which we all know is not the case. Showing up to the polls to vote with an ID that proves you’re an American citizen – whether you’re married or not – is common sense. We need to pass the SAVE America Act,” said Rand Paul.

Rep.

California Is Actively Recruiting Noncitizen Teenagers to Serve as Poll Workers in Elections

California has once again ignited concerns over election integrity after revelations that the state is recruiting noncitizen teenagers to work inside polling places during elections.

Natalie Winters first reported this outrageous development out of the Golden State.

Green card holders as young as 16, noncitizens who cannot legally vote in American elections, are being recruited to check voters off official rosters, distribute ballots, handle election equipment, assist voters, and help close polling locations.

The state admits it does not fully track how many of these noncitizen teenagers are being used in these sensitive positions of trust.

This is not a hypothetical. This is happening right now in Democrat-run California.

Natalie Winters reported:

Documents reviewed by this publication reveal that California officials are directing public schools to identify teenagers as young as 16 to work inside polling locations during the November 2026 election, including lawful permanent residents who are not United States citizens.

These students are not being enlisted to hand out stickers or direct voters toward the entrance. County election agencies say they may issue ballots, check voters off official rosters, help operate election equipment, assist voters throughout the day, prepare ballots for pickup, and participate in closing polling locations.

In other words, California has made citizenship optional for the people performing frontline election duties.

The recruitment campaign appears in a June 30 letter signed by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and State Superintendent Tony Thurmond and distributed to county superintendents, charter school administrators, and high school principals across the state.

The officials ask schools to provide their campuses as voting locations and encourage students to become poll workers for the November 3 general election.

“High school students who are at least 16 years of age, are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, and maintain a 2.5 grade point average are eligible to serve as poll workers,” the letter states.
