## Resource

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is fueling political firestorm by backing Trump’s claim of 250,000 noncitizens on voter rolls in four key swing states — California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada — despite those states refusing to share data with the federal government. The number, allegedly pulled from commercial databases, has drawn sharp criticism from election officials and experts who warn it could massively overcount — including many eligible voters — and ignores the fact that federal law and all 50 states ban noncitizens from voting. As the administration pushes for stricter voting rules — including citizenship proof and photo ID — ahead of critical midterms, state secretaries from the four states are dismissing the claims as speculative and unverified. Meanwhile, audits in other states like Georgia found only 20 noncitizens out of 8 million voters — underscoring that while the issue exists, it’s exceedingly rare.
