DOJ Finds 260K Dead People, Thousands of Non-Citizens Registered to Vote
By Megan Barth, December 5, 2025 2:39 pm
In a bombshell revelation, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon announced that over 260,000 dead people and thousands of noncitizens are confirmed to be registered to vote in the U.S. after a review of thirty states that have worked voluntarily with the DOJ to clean their voter rolls. The DOJ is now purging the invalid registrations from the voter rolls before the 2026 midterm election.
In a video posted on social media, Dhillon provided the receipts and a warning to states, like California, who refuse to turn over their voter rolls to the DOJ. At the time of Dhillon’s announcement, the DOJ has reviewed 47.5 million voter records.
Dhillon stated:
I’m here to share an important update about one of my many important duties here at the DOJ, which is enforcing our federal election laws. Here’s some facts and figures for you in the last eight months.
The DOJ has reached out to all 50 states asking them to share their voter rolls with us so that we can help them comply with the Help America Vote Act, which requires states to maintain clean voter rolls. Four states complied voluntarily.
We sued North Carolina early on, and they are checking the voter records of 100,000 voters who were improperly enrolled on their voter rolls, and they’re going to fix their problem. Voluntarily, we have an agreement in place almost with another dozen states, and I expect very soon we’ll be looking at their voter data and comparing it with our records and helping them clean up those voter rolls.
Now, we have 15 lawsuits pending against 14 states. That’s right—California got sued twice—and we are in litigation with them. They’re refusing to provide their records, even though many of these states voluntarily provide their voter rolls to nonprofit groups like ERIC and even other groups.
So we are going to make sure that we get to the bottom of those. Then we’re going to get the rest of the states, so we’re engaged with nearly 30 states.
Here is what we found so far. We’ve checked 47.5 million voter records. We’ve found 260,000-plus dead people enrolled in the states’ voter rolls, which is pretty concerning. They’re going to be removed with the help of the DOJ.
And finally, that there are several thousand non-citizens who are enrolled to vote in federal elections. This is very concerning, and the DOJ is partnering with local law enforcement where appropriate to prosecute people who have unlawfully voted in our elections.
Even one person voting who shouldn’t have voted is one too many, because every citizen is entitled to one person and one vote, with the assumption that their vote is being counted equally and only with other American citizens.
We will not rest at this DOJ, the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi, until we complete this project, provide confidence to all American voters that the rolls are clean and elections are free and fair.
In September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request: — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.
As the Globe said at the time, “That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for.”
On Wednesday, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division did it again, but filed federal lawsuits against six additional states — Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington — for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request.
According to the lawsuits, the Attorney General is uniquely charged by Congress with the enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which were designed by Congress to ensure that states have proper and effective voter registration and voter list maintenance programs. The Attorney General also has the Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA) at her disposal to demand the production, inspection, and analysis of the statewide voter registration lists.
We’ve been covering voter “irregularities,” thanks to Governor Gavin Newsom, who in May 2020 during his COVID statewide lockdown, issued Executive Order N-64-20 2020 ordering every voter in the November 2020 General Election to Vote-By-Mail. And then he made it permanent in 2021, claiming moral authority: “states across our country continue to enact undemocratic voter suppression laws,” Gov. Newsom said.
Newsom also signed Assembly Bill 37 sponsored by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), permanently requiring a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to every active registered voter in the state. AB 37 also gave the state 30 days to prepare a certified statement of the results of the election and submit it to the governing body within 30 days of the election.
For years, Democrats claimed that voter fraud was a myth, until that claim was debunked. Then, Democrats switched the narrative, claiming that the fraud was not “widespread” or enough to impact/overturn the outcome of elections. Yet, hundreds of thousands of invalid registrations can, in fact, impact l0cal, state, and federal elections. In the words of Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, “dirty voter rolls can lead to dirty elections.”
The Globe will continue to follow the DOJ’s election integrity efforts to ensure that “every citizen is entitled to one person and one vote.”
