Mullin: ‘We’ve Identified 250,000 Noncitizens Registered to Vote’ in Four States

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin expanded on President Donald Trump’s remarks, announcing that four states had noncitizens on their voter rolls.

Mullin said:

So first of all, the Department of Home Security, we’ve identified 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in just four states. Mind you, we have 46 other states, and just four states we’ve identified 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in California, and Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada.We also worked with proactive states to identify 28,000 non-citizens on their voter rolls, plus 400,000 individuals that are still registered to vote that are deceased.Now, those 20 or these 23 states, they proactively worked with us on the Save Program. That’s Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, Idaho, Alabama, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, Arkansas, Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Florida, South Dakota, Indiana, Arizona, South Carolina, Utah, Nebraska, Michigan, and my great home state of Oklahoma.

The preliminary review found these possible noncitizens:

The states have two weeks to respond and tell DHS if they intend to work with federal officials to remove the noncitizens.

Mullin also revealed that Iran has hacked us:

We know that Iran hacked our state voter files and attempted to compromise, is the best word I can use, our systems where military members use to vote. So we’re working with Secretary Hegseth and the DOW to safeguard those systems and protect our military voters.What’s frustrating to get in this is that the Biden administration knew this, and our intel community knew this, and not only did they withhold it from President Trump in his first term, but they withheld it, it looks like President Biden in his term. They withheld this information from the public. They withheld it from Congress. That should never happen again. And because of President Trump’s leadership, we’re not allowing that to happen.We’re telling the American people not to scare them, but to ensure, ensure them that we are watching it, we’re taking it serious. We will secure our elections.

It sounds like other enemies have access, too:

Talking about our machines, we know for sure that our foreign adversaries, not our allies, foreign adversaries have parts that are vital pieces in our voting machines. We know that they can access what they consider the key to the back of these vote to these machines. We know that they can change voter registration and your vote. We know it’s possible. There’s not a question. It’s not even for debate.One thing that I love about numbers, and I love about facts, is they don’t lie. This isn’t something that I’m trying to tell you to spin a narrative. This is what is going on, and what we are saying is that every state should partner with us to work to secure this.Once we identify the problem, everybody should be informed. Working with Secretary [of Commerce Howard] Lutnick, we are going to make our our security enhancements mandatory, meaning that if these states want a grant and they want to be reimbursed to work or to run federal elections, they’re going to have to implement security issues. Just security issues.We’re not trying to get into anything else, but we’re saying that the machines have to be secured, and that your voter restoration list needs to be scrubbed. We need to make sure that individuals that are legally able to vote are voting.
