Republicans have expressed concern about voter fraud repeatedly.

The Justice Department is being urged by dozens of members in the House and Senate to provide more information about the efforts made to prevent non-citizens from voting in federal elections. They call this a “serious” threat to the integrity of the election, citing the officials in several states who have found non-citizens in their voter lists.

A letter sent by 73 legislators led by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), to Attorney General Merrick G. Garland stated that they were “deeply worried” about reports of non-citizens voting and registering to vote in federal elections. They also said that an inquiry conducted in July had not resulted in a satisfactory response.

As of today, you and your Department have not responded to the inquiry on July 12th, 2024. The inquiry was seeking information about efforts taken by your Department in order to enforce laws that prohibit non-citizens from voting. The 2024 Presidential Election will be held in less than 34-days. Your Department’s refusal to share any information about its efforts to increase public confidence and trust in our elections, is alarming.

They asked, in particular, how many aliens were prosecuted for violating laws relating to noncitizens voting. Also, they wanted to know how the DOJ handled allegations of noncitizens voting or registering, and what steps are taken to prevent these practices.

Non-citizens cannot vote. Top Republicans, such as former President Trump have expressed concerns that non-citizens might try to vote in federal election, especially given the recent influx of immigrants crossing the southern border.

In August, Republican legislators pushed the SAVE Act which required states to verify citizenship personally when registering a voter and to remove non-citizens. The SAVE Act was attached to an extension of the spending bill to prevent a shutdown of the government at the end fiscal year.

In the letter, the lawmakers cited a statement by the Virginia Attorney General that the state had identified 6,303 citizens on its voter lists in 2022 and in 2023. Texas removed 6,500 noncitizens. One thousand nine hundred thirty of those had a voting history.

Last month, the DOJ announced that an illegal immigrant had been charged with stealing an American citizen’s identity in order to vote at multiple elections and obtain a U.S. Passport fraudulently.

They wrote: “There is no doubt that there is a significant amount of non-citizen voting in federal elections. This is not only a threat to the integrity and democratic process of our elections, but it also threatens to undermine the trust of Americans in the results of elections.”

In a request dated July 12, lawmakers asked the DOJ for information on the subject but did not receive a reply.

The letter also asks the DOJ what steps it is taking to prosecute those who are registered to vote for the 2024 elections but are not citizens. Fox News Digital contacted the DOJ to get a comment.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit against Alabama this week alleging that the state removed noncitizen ID numbers issued to voters from its voter rolls too near Election Day. The DOJ argued that the state officials had violated the National Voter Registration Act of 1994, which mandates states to make any changes to voter registration lists 90 days prior to federal elections.
