“Earlier this year, my Office referred 25 noncitizens who illegally voted in Alabama elections to federal law enforcement authorities. Today, President Trump’s DOJ announced that federal fraudulent voting charges have been brought against a noncitizen residing in Marion County who registered to vote prior to my election as Secretary of State. My Office will continue to identify noncitizens illegally registered to vote and voting in our elections and I will refer them to law enforcement and ensure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I am thankful that President Trump shares my zero-tolerance policy for noncitizen voting and for his DOJ’s particular attention to election integrity.” -Secretary of State Wes Allen
