DHS told election officials in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania that a preliminary review found more than 256,000 possible noncitizens on voter rolls and asked them to respond by July 24.
190,832 of those registrations were estimated in California, 35,152 in New Jersey, 15,903 in Nevada and 14,576 in Pennsylvania after DHS compared public voter files with federal immigration data.
81,336 California registrants, 19,497 in New Jersey, 8,576 in Nevada and 8,594 in Pennsylvania matched DHS records on name, birth date, address and Social Security number, though the department said identities must be verified before any action.
DHS said many noncitizens legally hold Social Security numbers and offered to share immigration records with the states under federal law as the Trump administration presses for closer federal-state coordination on voter eligibility.
