J. Christian Adams testifies at DC Hearing about Non-Citizens getting on Voter Rolls and Voting

J. Christian Adams, President and General Counsel at the Public Interest Legal Foundation, testified before the U.S. House Committee on House Administration on May 16, 2024, highlighting four key elements that contribute to the high numbers of foreign nationals on voter rolls. First, flawed Motor Voter processes lead to widespread registration of non-citizens, exemplified by Pennsylvania's DMV issues. Second, states' inability or prohibition from investigating citizenship claims results in non-citizens remaining on the rolls. Third, inadequate review of voter applications allows foreign nationals to register, with the checkbox honor system failing. Lastly, a lack of transparency in voting records perpetuates the problem, with ongoing legal battles for access to these records in states like California and Pennsylvania .
