Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, revealed on Friday that her department has already identified over 260,000 dead voter registrants and thousands of noncitizen voters in her division’s ongoing review of U.S. voter rolls.
Dhillon said the Department of Justice will be removing the improper registrants from voter rolls ahead of the 2026 election.
For the past year, the Civil Rights Division under Dhillon has been intent on cleaning up voter rolls to comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), passed by Congress in 2002.
Over the past eight months, she has requested voter rolls from all 50 states.
Dhillon said North Carolina was sued early on, and was forced to clean up over 100,000 voter registrations that were improperly enrolled. She added that another dozen states have agreed to provide their voter rolls and she expects to have access to their data soon.
Dhillon stated that the Justice Department currently has 15 lawsuits pending against 14 states who have refused to provide their voter rolls.
“That’s right, California got sued twice,” she explained.
Dhillon pointed out that many of these same states voluntarily provide voter information to left-wing non-profit groups like the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).
“We are gonna make sure that we get to the bottom of those and then we’re gonna get to the rest of the states,” she said.
So far, Dhillon said, the Civil Rights Division has engaged with nearly 30 states has reviewed 47.5 million voter records.
“We found 260,000 plus dead people enrolled in the states’ voter rolls, which is pretty concerning,” she said. “They’re gonna be removed with the help of the DOJ.”
Dhillon added that “several thousand non-citizens” are also improperly enrolled to vote in federal elections.
“This is very concerning and the DOJ is partnering with local law enforcement where appropriate to prosecute people who have unlawfully voted in our elections,” she stated.
During an interview with “Just the News,” Wednesday evening, Dhillon said the sloppiness of the elections in blue states is no accident.
“It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” she explained.
“And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added.
“What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” Dhillon said. “That is a fundamental basic.”
Dhillon said the Justice Department has found that some states, especially California, are particularly “loosey, goosey” when it comes to maintaining voter rolls.
“There are definitely people on the voter rolls of every state who don’t belong there,” she said. “They’re dead. They’ve moved. They’re registered multiple times there. There have been reported instances of people, because of these insecure, double or extraneous registrations, going to the polls and having their vote recorded before they got there.
“Then there are clearly people on the voter rolls, including immigrants who are not citizens, and that can include legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, who are on the voter rolls,” she added.
Dhillon stressed the importance of the Civil Right’s Division’s voter roll cleaning endeavor during her remarks Friday.
“Even one person voting who shouldn’t have voted is one too many because every citizen is entitled to one person, one vote assumption that their vote is being counted equally and only with other American citizens,” she stated.
“We will not rest at this DOJ with the leadership of the attorney general, Pam Bondi, until we complete this project and provide confidence to all American voters that the roles are clean and the elections are free and fair!”
