Chairman Steil Expands Investigation into Noncitizens Registering to Vote

WASHINGTON - Today, Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (WI-01) expanded his investigation into noncitizens registering to vote.

This morning, letters were sent to ten Secretaries of State seeking answers on how each state conducts voter list maintenance and whether they have policies in place to verify citizenship. This follows Chairman Steil and Elections Subcommittee Chair Laurel Lee's December letter to the Maryland State Board of Elections after news reports revealed an illegal alien was registered to vote in the state for over a decade.

"When illegal aliens are found on state voter rolls, it significantly undermines Americans' confidence in our elections," said Chairman Steil. "I will continue to seek answers on how frequently this happens and what states are doing to address the issue. American elections are for American citizens only."

The ten states that were sent letters this morning are: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
