‘Raw material for election fraud’: Expert flags voter-roll problems far beyond one state
The article reports that allegations involving noncitizen voter registrations in several US states are intensifying debate over election safeguards ahead of the midterm elections. It frames the issue as a dispute over whether voter-registration systems prioritise access or citizenship verification, and over the federal government’s authority to require states to provide voter-roll information.
A quoted expert, Chuck DeVore, argues that automatic or motor-vehicle-based registration systems can create vulnerabilities when citizenship is not independently checked. The article highlights New Jersey, where it says 6,600 noncitizen registrations were identified, while presenting this as part of a wider national controversy rather than an issue confined to one state.
- Noncitizen-registration allegations are fuelling election-security disputes.
