Non-citizens added to states’ voter rolls through DMV, even after admitting lack of US citizenship

 States have been discovering non-citizens on their voter rolls over the years, with many being added through the “motor voter” process at motor vehicle departments that began with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).

Non-citizens have been added to several states’ voter rolls largely through motor vehicle departments, sometimes even after they have explained that they are not U.S. citizens.

An election integrity group has examined states’ voter rolls for years, finding many non-citizens who are illegally registered to vote across the country.

However, sometimes, non-citizens still get on states’ voter rolls despite explaining their citizenship status.

Non-citizens have been placed on voter rolls through motor vehicle departments by lying about their citizenship, Adams also noted.

If non-citizens are seeking to become naturalized citizens, then being illegally registered to vote can prevent that from occurring.

In August, LaRose directed county election officials Thursday to remove another 499 non-citizens registered to vote from the state’s voter rolls.
