Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said there are growing concerns about non-citizens being registered to vote in the United States, pointing to what he described as gaps in the voter registration process.

Lee discussed the issue in remarks addressing the number of non-citizens in the country and the potential for voter registration through existing systems.

"What I do believe is that there are at least 10s of 1000s, probably hundreds of 1000s, by the time all the research is done, of people who have registered to vote in elections in one state or another, and regardless of how many of those have voted in the past, we have to remember that there are 30 million plus non citizens in this country, 10 or 15 million of whom came into this country illegally, between 2021 and 2024 alone."

Lee said the issue extends beyond past voting activity and includes the number of individuals who may already be registered or could register under current rules.

"So regardless of how many may have voted in the past, what you have to look for is how many have registered, and how many could register if we don't close this gap."

He pointed to the process of applying for a driver’s license as a pathway for voter registration, describing how the system works in many states.

"Because Maria, all you have to do right now if you're a non citizen, legal or not legal, go into a DMV in almost any state, fill out a driver's license application form and then check a box and sign your name, saying that you are certified to you are legally allowed to vote in the United States, and all of a sudden, you are a registered voter."

Lee’s remarks focused on the need to address what he described as vulnerabilities in the system related to voter registration eligibility, particularly in light of the number of non-citizens currently residing in the United States.

He said the concern involves both individuals who may have already registered and those who could register in the future if changes are not made to the process.
