Summary
Markwayne Mullin said DHS is reviewing voter information and records ahead of the 2026 midterms to ensure only U.S. citizens cast ballots.
Pressed on whether ICE agents could be near polling places, Mullin declined to rule it out and said noncitizens should not be voting anyway.
Mullin argued even 1 illegal vote is too many, dismissing criticism that Heritage Foundation data showed only 25 prosecutions tied to citizenship-related voter fraud.
Trump's March 31 executive order directed DHS and the Social Security Administration to send state citizenship lists to election officials before federal elections, broadening scrutiny of voter rolls and mail ballots.
