Voting scandal raises noncitizen concerns
The article reports that New Jersey recently identified and removed 6,600 ineligible voters from its rolls, with fewer than 400 having cast ballots. This issue is part of a broader, decades-long problem of noncitizens registering and voting in U.S. elections, highlighted by reviews in multiple states revealing significant noncitizen registrations and voter participation. Experts emphasize that there's no uniform federal reporting requirement, making it difficult to assess the full scope of the problem, which is believed to be more prevalent in states with policies easing registration processes for noncitizens. Despite existing laws prohibiting noncitizen voting, enforcement and investigation vary across states, with preliminary DHS estimates suggesting over 250,000 noncitizens may be registered nationwide.
