Democrats have insisted for years now that there is no problem with foreigners voting, or even being registered to vote in America, because it doesn’t happen.

Their assessment apparently suppresses the hundreds of thousands of foreigners who are registered to vote, and could take part in deciding the future leaders of America, albeit illegally.

That’s according to documentation from the Department of Homeland Security which has confirmed that nearly 300,000 non-citizens are “illegally registered to vote in just the four states for which public data files have been reviewed.”

“According to the DHS review…they identified approximately 278,000 NONCITIZENS who are registered to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the number is actually MUCH HIGHER than that.” @POTUS Trump pic.twitter.com/e8rPyveIrx

President Donald Trump, who repeatedly has expressed his concerns about corruption in the U.S. election system and the possibility of outsiders influencing the U.S., confirmed the problem. Of course, since Democrat-run states have declined to aid in the basic election integrity work, the number actually probably is much higher.

A report at Not the Bee cited the federal SAVE system, which could be used to verify voters’ citizenship.

Many states are not using it, and the DHS said initial files reviewed by states not using the system confirmed 250,000 illegally registered “voters,” with another 28,000 were found by states using the system.

“State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants. The investigation is expanding to include multiple additional states. In addition, DHS will support the Department of Justice’s review of voter files obtained pursuant to their enforcement authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002,” the DHS said.

A part the problem is a Biden-appointed federal judge.

WorldNetDaily has reported that Sparkle Sooknanan, a foreign-born, Biden-appointed federal judge, apparently violated an approved court settlement of a lawsuit by ordering federal voter roll integrity plans be suspended.

At issue is the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, which Sooknanan ordered shut down for several states. It can be used to verify citizenship and immigration status.

The problem with her order is that Judge T. Kent Wetherell, in Florida, previously had ordered those functions restored because that was part of a court-approved legal settlement in an earlier case.

Sooknanon defied the earlier court conclusion the operations were constitutional with her demands.

WND had reported when Wetherell clarified what should happen as Sooknanan apparently deliberately violated a court-approved settlement in ordering the identification system suspended.

Sooknanan had claimed across 75 pages of her opinions that the features violated the Social Security Act and Privacy Act. They didn’t, the federal court in Florida already had decided.

The Trump administration had expanded the system to “better support state election integrity,” the report said.

Wetherell’s decision pointed out that Sooknanan’s ruling violated a court-approved settlement with Florida and other states. He had approved the settlement last year and maintained jurisdiction the dispute.

“Defendants are plainly in violation of the settlement agreement because it is undisputed that they disabled the bulk-upload and SSN-search features that the agreement expressly required the SAVE system to have,” Wetherell ordered. “The fact that defendants disabled those features to comply with [the judge’s] order does not change the fact that they violated the agreement.”

Judge T. Kent Wetherell II held DHS breached a court-approved settlement by disabling the SAVE features after Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan’s ruling. He also expressly disagreed with her legal analysis, concluding the SSN-search and bulk-upload features do not violate federal law.

A Gateway Pundit report called Sooknanan’s opinion a “crackpot ruling.”

“She whined that the federal government had ‘knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote’ and accused the administration of ‘haphazardly combined and repurposed’ data,” the report said.

It described how Sooknanan has “a long record of radical rulings,” such as blocking Trump’s deportation plans and shutting down an FTC investigation into far-left Media Matters.

Florida and multiple other states had reached a settlement with DHS last year requiring the SAVE system to remain functional.

Sooknanan’s demand that the program’s features be shut down prompted Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier to go back to court to have the settlement enforced.

“Plaintiffs’ emergency motion to enforce settlement agreement is GRANTED, and Defendants shall immediately comply … by reinstating Plaintiffs’ access to the bulk-upload and SSN-search features in the SAVE system,” Wetherell said.
