An ominous warning from a watchdog expert on elections may influence the outcome of the next election.
Tens of thousands of non-citizens are found to have registered to vote in crucial battleground states including PA, NC, GA, TX, and AZ by a watchdog group. On the TV program “Just the News, No Noise,” the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation makes an astonishing discovery.
Voters in Georgia, take note! Non-citizens attempted to register to vote, but don’t worry — their votes were held until citizenship could be confirmed.
“Pennsylvania has been covering up for years, the tens of thousands of aliens who got on the voter rolls there for 20 years,” Adams said that Al Schmidt, the temporary Pennsylvania Secretary of State, “knows the truth and won’t tell it.”
In 2017, Republican Philadelphia city commissioner Schmidt appeared before a Pennsylvania Senate Committee, disclosing more than 100,000 instances in which voter registration data showed a match between state driver’s licenses and indications from the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Schmidt maintained at the time, according to CBS News, that even though the matches do not imply that everyone detected was registered to vote: “We’re not talking about an insignificant number here. We’re talking about a potentially very significant number of thousands and tens of thousands.”
Just The News added the following:
According to information released by the Department of State in September 2017, more than 1,100 non-citizens have asked for their voter registrations in Pennsylvania to be deleted since 1972.
The “vast majority” of non-citizens, according to Adams “are motor voter registrations” alluding to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which made it simpler for people to register to vote while obtaining a driver’s license.
According to Adams, non-citizens frequently register to vote through third-party registration efforts coordinated by nonprofit groups.

In addition, he said that many non-citizens “lie” when they visit Department of Motor Vehicle offices to “get registered” to vote.
“Some people, guys, say, ‘no,’ and they still get registered to vote,” Adams said. “I’ve just got stacks of voter registration forms. People will actually say, ‘no, I’m not a U.S. citizen.’ They still get on the voter rolls.”
His group first filed a lawsuit against Pennsylvania in 2018 to gain access to voter registration lists. And PILF said that it initiated the lawsuit last year after the state “publicly admitted that due to an alleged programming ‘glitch’ the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation had allowed foreign nationals to register to vote for decades.”
At the time, his group claimed that “sought the voting history of more than 1,100 non-citizen registrants who self-reported their ineligibility and requested cancellation of their voter registrations.”
A legal challenge has been made against Pennsylvania State’s duty to give documents to PILF. The Middle District of Pennsylvania U.S. District Court issued a decision in favor of PILF in March 2022. According to Just the News, the state has appealed this verdict.
According to a recent analysis by PILF, 222 non-US citizens’ registrations to vote in Maricopa County have been revoked since 2015, and nine of them cast 12 ballots over four federal elections in violation of the law.
Hundreds of self-reporting foreign nationals who were registered to vote in the country, he said, are only “the tip of the iceberg, because there’s gonna be lots of people who don’t write in and say, ‘I’m a non-citizen.’”

“These records conclusively show that foreigners have been registering to vote and are voting in North Carolina elections,” Adams at the time said. “It is a shame our efforts to disclose these records were met with such resistance by election officials.”
