It was just days ago that President Donald Trump confirmed hundreds of thousands of noncitizens’ names are on America’s state voter registration rolls.
Democrats long have claimed such circumstances never occur.
It was documentation from the Department of Homeland Security that confirmed that nearly 300,000 non-citizens are “illegally registered to vote in just the four states for which public data files have been reviewed.”

“According to the DHS review…they identified approximately 278,000 NONCITIZENS who are registered to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the number is actually MUCH HIGHER than that.” @POTUS Trump pic.twitter.com/e8rPyveIrx

Enough, said members of the U.S. House. They have now called for a classified briefing on the problem, its extent, its impact and the dangers those noncitizens pose.
According to Fox, it is the House Committee on House Administration that is calling for the classified briefings.
The focal point is foreign interference in U.S. elections.
“Reports of non-citizens casting illegal ballots continue to emerge, undermining election integrity and public confidence in American elections,” said chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis. “To inform potential legislative reforms, the committee therefore requests a member-level, classified briefing from DHS on the number of non-citizens registered to vote across the country and cyber vulnerabilities present in current voting systems.”
The House Committee on Administration demands classified briefings from DHS, FBI, and the acting DNI on the number of non-citizens registered to vote across the country — and alleged Chinese cyberattacks on election infrastructure.

Besides Trump’s revelation about some 278,00 noncitizens registered to vote as well as recent confirmation from New Jersey state officials that they registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote, and some 400 actually voted illegally, Steil cited the president’s comments about Chinese “cyber-attacks” on American elections.
The report pointed out, “It is already a federal crime to vote in elections as a noncitizen, but the GOP is pushing for further guardrails such as proof of citizenship in the voter registration process and a federal voter ID standard at the polls.”
Trump’s concerns stem from documentation at the federal SAVE system, which could be used to verify voters’ citizenship.
Many states are not using it, and the DHS said initial files reviewed by states not using the system confirmed 250,000 illegally registered “voters,” with another 28,000 found by states using the system.
“State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants. The investigation is expanding to include multiple additional states. In addition, DHS will support the Department of Justice’s review of voter files obtained pursuant to their enforcement authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002,” the DHS said.
A part the problem is a Biden-appointed federal judge.

WorldNetDaily has reported that Sparkle Sooknanan, a foreign-born, Biden-appointed federal judge, apparently violated an approved court settlement of a lawsuit by ordering federal voter roll integrity plans be suspended.
At issue is the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, which Sooknanan ordered shut down for several states. It can be used to verify citizenship and immigration status.
The problem with her order is that Judge T. Kent Wetherell, in Florida, previously had ordered those functions restored because that was part of a court-approved legal settlement in an earlier case.
Sooknanon defied the earlier court conclusion the operations were constitutional with her demands.
