Election integrity has become a hot issue in America, especially as the 2026 election approaches in just months.
Evidence now shows many instances of fraudulent votes by foreigners, including New Jersey’s recent admission that it signed up 6,600 ineligible voters on its voter rolls and hundreds actually voted.
Officials, of course, blamed a computer glitch, before the software company confirmed those unqualified names had been delivered to the state, which allowed them on the rolls.
Now a new investigation has confirmed that California, which is huge influence on American elections through its massive population, has resolved such questions by ignoring them.
That’s according to a report assembled by the American Center for Law and Justice.
The organization confirmed, “For years, Americans have been told that concerns about noncitizens voting are a ‘myth,’ a Right-wing talking point unworthy of serious attention. However, California’s own Secretary of State just proved otherwise – not by uncovering fraud, but by admitting the state has no idea whether it’s even happening, because it isn’t bothering to track it.”
The ACLJ said it submitted requests under the California Public Records Act to the secretary of state and Attorney General Rob Bonta.
They sought records on how the state maintains the integrity of its voter rolls.
The response from Bonta remains pending, but the secretary of state’s office said, “The Statewide Voter Registration System does not contain a voter status reason for cancellation due to non-citizenship, therefore there are no records responsive to this request.”
Explained the ACLJ, “In other words, the state cannot tell us how many noncitizens have ever been removed from its voter rolls – because it doesn’t keep that information at all.”
That, however, poses an issue, since, “Federal law requires every state to maintain records showing how it safeguards the accuracy of its voter rolls and to make those records available to the public.”
The ACLJ pointed to the National Voter Registration Act and its requirement that states retain, for at least two years, and make available for public inspection, records concerning ‘the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.’”
California’s confirmation, the ACLJ reported, “admitted, in writing, that it keeps no such records when it comes to noncitizens being removed from its rolls.”
“If it’s true that no such records exist, or if they do exist but California just refuses to produce them, it appears California could be violating not just its own open-records act (the CPRA), but that it could also be violating a federal law (the NVRA) and its record-retention and public-inspection requirements,” the ACLJ said.
“To be clear, this isn’t a case of the state simply lacking a category for record-keeping in general. California’s own system does track cancellations for other reasons – death, moving out of state, felony convictions – that strip voting rights. Those categories exist and are documented. The one category missing is citizenship. That’s not an oversight; that’s a choice.”
While the state claimed voters must attest they meet eligibility requirements, it isn’t tracking if and when that law is broken.
“You cannot claim a safeguard is working if you have no records showing whether it’s ever been triggered,” the ACLJ said.
States insist it’s ‘legally indefensible’ to allow voter ID executive order
