You have millions of people that shouldn't be on the voter rolls. The rolls are a mess.
How They Responded: "A Myth With No Evidence"
The Federal Review: 250,000+ Noncitizens In Four States Alone
The Department of Homeland Security's "Preventing Alien Voting" review did what the critics said was unnecessary: it ran state voter files against federal citizenship and immigration records. The results are not a rounding error. They are hundreds of thousands of people who should never have been registered, documented in the government's own numbers.
What The Federal Review Actually Found:
- More than 250,000 noncitizens were found registered to vote in just four states that were reviewed. That is the count from a partial look, not a national total. Source: DHS Review (whitehouse.gov)
- As part of the broader effort, 25 states ran more than 68 million records through the federal SAVE system, which checks immigration and citizenship status. That process flagged more than 400,000 deceased registrants and more than 28,000 noncitizens. Source: DHS Review (whitehouse.gov)
- The state-by-state breakdown is itemized. Deceased and noncitizen counts include: Texas 111,573 dead / 2,296 noncitizens; Ohio 59,774 / 769; Georgia 42,776 / 2,549; Tennessee 37,850 / 1,009; North Carolina 34,622 / 1,599; Alabama 33,165 / 465; Louisiana 15,231 / 419; Missouri 10,660 / 1,112; Kansas 10,197 / 449; Idaho 4,328 / 49.

What Has Surfaced Since Trump Returned
For years, the tools to actually verify who is on the rolls were withheld or fought in court. Since Trump's return, the federal government reopened the SAVE citizenship-verification system to states and published the results. Below are the two pillars of the record, drawn directly from the declassified drop.
PILLAR 1 — DHS "Preventing Alien Voting" Review
The Department of Homeland Security review documents more than 250,000 noncitizens registered in the four states examined, and lays out the state-by-state deceased and noncitizen totals. It confirms in federal records exactly what Trump described: rolls carrying large numbers of people who are not eligible to vote.

Twenty-five states ran more than 68 million voter records through the federal SAVE verification system, surfacing more than 400,000 deceased registrants and more than 28,000 noncitizens. The report also documents that some states refused to share their files, which means the true national figure is necessarily higher than what has been counted so far.

Final Analysis
Trump said the voter rolls were dirty and full of people who should not be on them, and he was told, repeatedly, that noncitizen registration was a myth and that dead voters on the rolls were a paranoid talking point. The federal review answers with itemized numbers: more than 250,000 noncitizens in four states, more than 400,000 dead registrants, and more than 28,000 noncitizens surfaced across 25 states through SAVE.
Being on the rolls is not the same as casting a ballot, and this record does not claim that every one of these registrations produced a fraudulent vote. What it does show is that the underlying problem Trump named is real, large, and now documented in the government's own files, which is the opposite of the "no evidence" verdict he was handed for years.
- More than 250,000 noncitizens found registered in just four states reviewed
- More than 400,000 deceased registrants surfaced across 25 states
- More than 28,000 noncitizens flagged through the federal SAVE system
- Texas alone showed 111,573 deceased and 2,296 noncitizen registrations
- States that refused to share files mean the real national number is higher
The rolls were dirty. The people who said otherwise were wrong, and the federal record now proves it. On the state of the voter rolls, Trump was right.
