Josh Hammer, a senior editor-at-large at Newsweek, said that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are currently on U.S. voter rolls.
These allegations target the fundamental integrity of the American electoral process. If a significant number of noncitizens are registered to vote, it raises questions about the security of voter registration systems and the accuracy of election results.
Speaking from a Sky News Australia studio, Hammer said the situation is "absolutely positively astonishing." He said there are at least 200,000 to 300,000 [1] illegal aliens on voter rolls in America.
Hammer linked these registration issues to a broader systemic failure. He said, "The rot runs really deep," and said that there are many people around Donald Trump who are "vipers."
The claims suggest that the current state of voter rolls is a critical vulnerability. Hammer said the presence of these individuals undermines the integrity of U.S. elections.
While Hammer highlighted the scale of the issue, the specific methods of how these individuals were added to the rolls were not detailed in the interview. He said that the sheer number of noncitizens registered to vote is a primary concern for the stability of the democratic process.
“There are hundreds, at least two to three hundred thousand illegal aliens currently on voter rolls in America”
These claims contribute to a larger national debate regarding voter eligibility and the maintenance of voter rolls. By asserting that up to 300,000 noncitizens are registered, Hammer is highlighting a perceived failure in state-level verification processes, which often rely on data sharing between immigration authorities and election officials.
