DOJ Official Dhillon Reveals Tens of Thousands of Noncitizens on Voter Rolls in Ongoing Review

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon disclosed that a Department of Justice review has identified tens of thousands of noncitizens on state voter rolls, positioning them to potentially cast ballots, along with hundreds of thousands of deceased individuals not removed and duplicate registrations across states.

In an interview on "Just the News, No Noise" with host John Solomon, Dhillon detailed the findings from voter rolls obtained from 16 states that cooperated or signed agreements, while the DOJ pursues litigation against 29 others to secure access. She expressed frustration over obstacles from state election offices and federal judges, stating, "It's really frustrating that we're being prevented from doing our job."

Dhillon highlighted a recent DOJ indictment of Mahady Sacko, a Mauritanian illegal immigrant, for voting unlawfully in seven federal elections in Pennsylvania. She added that dozens more cases of noncitizen illegal voting have been confirmed, but prosecutions are stalled in many districts due to delays in confirming U.S. attorneys.

The reluctance of some states to share voter data stems from concerns over potential lawsuits from Democratic-aligned voting rights attorneys, such as Marc Elias, or scrutiny from future administrations, according to Dhillon. She noted that under the previous Biden administration, the DOJ had discouraged states from cleaning rolls, creating inconsistencies now that the department urges action.

Dhillon emphasized the DOJ's mission to restore election integrity, saying the efforts aim to build confidence among American citizens in the voting process.
