Donald Trump says "non-citizens and dead people are listed" on voter rolls

In July, Donald Trump used a nationally televised address to allege that voter records in several states led by Democrats were seriously compromised by ineligible entries; the article characterizes that assertion as false and notes that Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state, is often a focus of election misinformation. His Department of Homeland Security later sent Pennsylvania’s Department of State a letter asserting that 14,576 possible noncitizens were on the rolls but did not provide names, according to the article. In California and Washington, where officials did supply names, election offices called the data unreliable. The article says noncitizen voting is illegal in federal elections, Pennsylvania bars noncitizens from voting for state offices, and fraud is rare, with safeguards and audits intended to catch anomalies.
