Pennsylvania State Dept. Sued for Hiding Noncitizen Voting Records
Washington Free Beacon ^ | Feb 27 | Joe Schoffstall

The Pennsylvania State Department is facing a lawsuit after officials refused to release records relating to noncitizens on voter rolls in the commonwealth.

An analysis found that there are allegedly more than 100,000 noncitizens that are currently registered to vote, according to a Philadelphia official's testimony before a Pennsylvania government committee last year.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an election integrity group, initially threatened the lawsuit against Pennsylvania's State Department in December after officials in the state were unresponsive to PILF's requests to inspect the data relating to noncitizens on the state's rolls.

PILF filed the complaint Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania seeking injunctive relief to compel Pennsylvania's State Department to allow the group access to the information.

Al Schmidt, a Philadelphia city commissioner, disclosed a "glitch" in September 2017 at "Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicle branch offices was enabling noncitizens to register to vote when they applied for or renewed their driver's licenses."

In early October, then-Pennsylvania secretary of state Pedro Cortes abruptly resigned from his position. PennLive called it a "mystery departure" and noted that, "Cortes's agency also caught flack in September for disclosures that hundreds of legal, non-citizens in Pennsylvania had been improperly offered a chance to register to vote most often while applying for drivers' licenses at PennDOT customer service centers."

During testimony before the Pennsylvania State Government Committee of the House of Representatives in late October, the PILF and Philadelphia officials said that procedural failures invited noncitizen registration in Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) offices. The Pennsylvania Department of State said that an effort to identify noncitizens in the voter registry that have yet to report themselves was underway.

Why do bureaucrats have to be sued to do the right thing?

You know that Charity thing Bill and Hillary have? Well they want/have one too.

I saw the PA ex-Secretary of State Pedro at his new job at gas-station at the NC/SC border off I-95. There were signs for miles in both directions announcing his presence there.

He should be sued vigorously for the intentional damage he did to the Commonwealth of PA.

A national election for president that included illegal alien voters should be rejected and the electors not allowed to enter the electoral college. Those electors are primafascia illegal
