US President Donald Trump asserted that more than 35,000
non-citizens are registered to vote in New Jersey. According to the president,
the information comes from data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
and is part of the federal government's review of voter registration records in
various states across the country.
During his remarks, Trump maintained that this situation
highlights the need to strengthen voter identity and eligibility verification
mechanisms to ensure that only US citizens participate in elections. He also
reiterated that his administration will continue to promote measures aimed at
strengthening the integrity of the electoral system and detecting potential
irregularities in voter rolls.
The president's statements have reignited the debate on
election security in the United States, an issue that has been central to
political discussion in recent years. Some sectors consider it essential to
implement stricter controls to prevent improper registrations.
The review of voter registration lists and the exchange of
information between federal and state authorities continue to be part of the
efforts to strengthen the transparency of the U.S. electoral system, in a
context where trust in democratic processes remains one of the main topics of
public debate.
