Pennsylvania to Trump administration: Show us your mathThe Trump administration identified 14,576 potential noncitizen voters in Pennsylvania, but it’s unclear how it arrived at that number.www.votebeat.org

BREAKING: In a response to the Department of Homeland Security’s allegation that there are thousands of noncitizens on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls, Al Schmidt says DHS has NOT said how it identified those noncitizens. He also pointed out flaws in a DHS program used to identify

I'll be on @cnn.com with @dannyefreeman.bsky.social in a few minutes to discuss the noncitizen voter registration error in New Jersey and the parallels with Pennsylvania's own instance of this from a decade ago.

New: Here is the letter DHS Secretary Mullin sent to Pennsylvania yesterday. It says they used SSN, however the state did not provide that to DHS, so I imagine they used some other method to match that number to the information on the public voter file.

Statement from Pennsylvania Secretary Al Schmidt on Trump/DHS noncitizen voter allegations:

President Trump will address the nation tonight at 9 p.m. in a speech about election security. I will be on WITF with Franklin & Marshall professor Berwood Yost and attorney Terry Mutchler for live analysis when the speech ends. Tune in here www.witf.org/stream/

The Trump Justice Department is appealing this ruling to the 3rd circuit.

The Morning Call is reporting two men were arrested in connection to this: t.co/ZGCXNZDimo

Pennsylvania State Police told me just now that they have no further updates at this time on this incident from Lehigh County. They will release more information as it becomes available. Anyone with information is asked to contact PSP Bethlehem at 610-861-2026.
