The AGs “raise grave concerns that by failing to work with States to verify voter registration information, your office has failed to discharge its duty ahead of a national election,” the letter to Mayorkas states.
Sixteen attorneys general, led by Ohio AG Dave Yost, called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to provide voter registration information to states.
The coalition of AGs says DHS is required to coordinate with states to verify voter registration information.
The request asked DHS and USCIS to provide information on the citizenship status of potential noncitizens who registered to vote in Texas.
In Texas, 6,500 noncitizens were removed from voter rolls and its Secretary of State and Attorney General requested information from DHS as part of an ongoing investigation into potential noncitizens registered to vote.
Under Mayorkas, DHS has provided delayed and inadequate responses to requests by several of the undersigned states to verify voter registration information, they said.
Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting.
