Speaking during an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” withMaria Bartiromo, Dhillon outlined findings from a federal review of approximately 60 million voter records. “States are not in compliance, even those ones who want to. So, for the ones that we’ve run so far — 60 million records that we’ve run — we found at least 350,000 dead people currently on the voter rolls in those jurisdictions, and we’ve referred approximately 25,000 people with no citizenship records to [the Department of] Homeland Security to look at, you know, dig into that further and see the extent to which people voted,” she said.
Dhillon added, “I’m in touch with voting rights activists who are showing me information about people who have voted who are not American citizens. So the Left told us this never happens and it’s a myth, it definitely happened.”
The review comes as theDepartment of Justicehas filed lawsuits against multiple states for failing to provide voter registration data. Federal officials cite legal authority under statutes including the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which grants the attorney general access to voting records for compliance oversight.
According to Dhillon, the department has initiated legal action against 29 states and the District of Columbia over access to voter rolls. “I’m suing 29 states and the District of Columbia for their refusal to give us the voter rolls to which the attorney general or the acting attorney general is entitled under the Civil Rights Act of 1960,” she said, noting that some lower court rulings have not favored the administration’s position.
“We’re expediting the appeals in these cases,” Dhillon said. “There’ll be an appeal in the Ninth Circuit [Court of Appeals] and the Sixth Circuit soon.”
