Iowa sues Biden administration over non-citizen voting debacle

By Emily Hallas December 4, 2024 2:20 pm . Iowa election officials sued the Biden administration after the federal government declined to hand over a list of non-citizens registered to vote in the state before the 2024 elections. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officials refused to hand over a list of non-citizens illegally registered to vote in Iowa “despite having confirmed that hundreds of non-citizens were on Iowa’s voter rolls after a manual individualized process,” Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Attorney General Brenna Bird said in a lawsuit Tuesday. The complaint is filed against the Department of Homeland Security and its sub-agency, USCIS. Without the USCIS records, state officials instead checked voter rolls against a less reliable list of 2,176 people who had identified themselves as non-citizens with the Iowa Department of Transportation. Iowa’s statewide voter registration system does not contain any of the “DHS-issued immigration identifier” the USCIS has access to, the defendants said, often making it difficult to identify non-citizen voters.

Pate and Bird argued that without sufficient data to screen possible illegal voters independently, Iowa election officials were forced to mandate that the 2,176 people in question, many of whom had become naturalized citizens, show proof of citizenship or cast a provisional ballot during the elections in order to have their ballots counted.



“USCIS’s failure meant that the State had to rely on the best — imperfect — data it had available to ensure that no Iowan’s vote was canceled by an illegal, non-citizen vote,” the two Iowa officials said in a joint release Wednesday.


The Washington Examiner reached out to USCIS for comment but had not received a reply at the time of publishing.

Of course, the far left loons have been telling us for decades that illegals do not vote.
