How US states mistakenly added 30,000 non-citizens to voter rolls

Software glitches and administrative errors in processing driver's license and state ID applications across various regions of the United States since 2000 have resulted in more than 30,000 non-citizens being mistakenly added to voter rolls. Experts say these cases arose not from an organized attempt at fraud by migrants, but from random bureaucratic mishaps, and the number is far too small to affect outcomes given the country's more than 170 million registered voters.

"Postxronika.az" reports, citing Reuters, that President Donald Trump and his supporters, without presenting any evidence, are claiming this situation is an organized plot run by Democrats, calling on lawmakers to tighten voting requirements. Similar technical errors have been recorded in at least 12 states, including New Jersey, Texas, Iowa and California, with more than 6,600 people in New Jersey alone who answered "no" to the citizenship question mistakenly entered into the system.

Authorities are taking special measures to close the identified system gaps, verify the data, and improve citizenship-confirmation mechanisms. While it is not possible, within the scope of the investigations, to determine how many of those added to the rolls actually took part in voting, the process of reviewing preliminary figures across states continues.
