The House Committee on Administration is pressing federal agencies for classified intelligence regarding allegations that noncitizens have registered to vote in U.S. federal elections. Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, a Wisconsin Republican, cited growing concerns about election integrity and public confidence in the electoral system as justification for the formal request.
Steil’s letters, directed to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, demand member-level briefings by September 2026. The committee is seeking specific data on noncitizen voter registrations nationwide and information about cybersecurity weaknesses in current voting systems.
The requests reference President Donald Trump’s recent remarks alleging approximately 278,000 noncitizens are registered to vote, as well as New Jersey’s discovery that 6,600 noncitizens were incorrectly added to voter rolls during 2023 and 2024. Trump also claimed China has conducted cyberattacks targeting election infrastructure, though details remain limited.
Republicans have long championed stricter election security measures, including mandatory citizenship verification during registration and federal voter ID requirements at polling places. Democrats contend such initiatives undermine public trust in elections. Federal law already prohibits noncitizen voting, and investigators have found no evidence that noncitizens have altered the outcome of any federal election.
