DHS Issues Funding Warning To States That Don’t Purge Voter Rolls

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Friday said that states that do not purge their voter rolls of potentially ineligible voters and noncitizens could lose funding.

It came as he said the DHS has identified more than 250,000 noncitizens who were illegally on voter registration rolls in four states: California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.

“We know Iran hacked state voter files and attempted to compromise our systems where military members used to vote,” he said, adding that DHS “security enhancements” will be mandatory.

“If these states want a grant, and they want to be reimbursed to run federal elections, they’re going to have to implement security measures.”

Voting systems have to be secured, and voter registration lists need to be “scrubbed,” Mullin said.

“We need to make sure that individuals that are legally able to vote are voting,” he said.

When a staff member discovered the relationship with the prospective defendant, Johnston fired the employee, according to Hanaway.

“President Trump is correct when he said that election security is national security … this is just exposing what took place and to make sure it never happens again.

“And there’s some really easy steps that can be taken to secure our elections, and it shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”

Trump Highlights Illicit Democrat-Aligned Michigan Voter Registration Group in Thursday Address – But Several More Similar Leftist Groups Are Operating Throughout the Country

President Trump on Thursday night mentioned illicit Democrat-aligned voter registration group that was caught dumping nearly 10,000 ballot registrations in Muskegon, Michigan prior to the 2020 election.  The FBI later revealed in an email sent out in February 2023 that 13 of 20 ballot registrations were fraudulent, or 65%, in the stack of registrations delivered to the Muskegon clerk prior to the 2020 presidential election.

In case you have not been paying attention, leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.

PENNSYLVANIA

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania city officials announced in October 2024 that they were investigating a massive fraudulent voter registration operation investigation involving thousands of fraudulent voter registrations. At least 2,500 ballot registrations were in question.

Lehigh County, Pennsylvania announced that they were also investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a questionable voter registration group. Lancaster, Monroe and York Counties in Pennsylvania have reported similar criminal acts and they are investigating. At least two counties reported that Field+Media Corps was behind the thousands of fraudulent registrations. The ballot registration harvesting group is based in Arizona.

MICHIGAN

The Gateway Pundit reported extensively about the leftist group GBI Strategies, a Democrat-linked group that received funding from Joe Biden and the Democrat Senatorial Campaign, that was caught dumping thousands of fraudulent ballots into the 2020 election in Michigan. GBI Strategies had “canvassers” working in several black-majority cities in Michigan, including Flint, Benton Harbor, Ypsilanti, Inkster, Southfield, Muskegon, Lansing, and Saginaw.

The FBI took over the GBI investigation in where it went to die.

An official with GBI, Brianna Hawkins, admitted to police that the group turned in hundreds of fake registrations and was operating in several states and Washington DC.

Safeguarding Trust In Our Elections

As a Connecticut resident, I value a democracy where every eligible vote counts and every citizen can have full confidence in the results. Fair, secure, and transparent elections are essential to our shared civic life. That is why I am concerned about legislation passed this year in Hartford that expanded no-excuse absentee voting and placed greater emphasis on access than on safeguards.

I appreciate the Republican representatives who voted “no” on these changes. Their position is grounded in facts, recent experiences here in Connecticut, and simple common sense. Weakening existing safeguards does not truly expand voting rights — it risks undermining them by creating new opportunities for fraud and eroding public confidence.

Nationwide, inaccurate voter rolls remain a serious concern. Audits in states such as Virginia, Texas, Georgia, and Michigan have identified non-citizens, deceased individuals, and duplicate registrations still listed as active voters. These are not minor clerical issues; they require consistent maintenance to keep elections clean. Relaxing standards in Connecticut would overlook these important lessons.

Mail-in and absentee ballots carry known vulnerabilities.

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 infrastructure, electronic 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.”

Asked for comment on the contents of the president’s address, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “As usual, anonymous sources are speculating about what President Trump will say during his speech on Thursday evening. The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say, which is why everyone should tune in.”

A White House task force will be releasing classified intelligence documents related to the 2020 election, according to a leak to MS NOW.

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.
