Election officials in Pennsylvania have found several hundred ballots cast illegally by people who reside in the state but aren't U.S. citizens, dating back to 2000, after previously acknowledging a software glitch that improperly allowed them to register to vote.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the Pennsylvania Department of State's Jonathan Marks reported to a state House committee that his office found 544 ballots cast illegally out of 93 million during the past 18 years.
Marks also reportedly cautioned that the number could rise.
The news comes just weeks after Pennsylvania's top election official, Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortés (D), resigned without explanation. Cortés said during a 2016 hearing that the glitch in the state's driver licensing software "may inadvertently register" noncitizen immigrants to vote without their knowledge. A Republican member of the state's election commission in September called the glitch a serious issue, explaining that the improper voter registrations could result in denial of citizenship for the immigrants through no fault of their own.
"This is a real concern," Al Schmidt told The AP. "It is harmful to election integrity, and it is harmful to members of the immigrant community who are applying for citizenship. If you've registered to vote in the U.S., and you're not a citizen, it's potential grounds for the denial of your citizenship application."
About 6.1 million people voted in Pennsylvania during the 2016 presidential election.
President Trump won the state with 48.6 percent of the vote, topping former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by less than 100,000 votes.
A month after taking office, Trump established a White House commission to investigate his unproven claim that millions of undocumented immigrants voted for Clinton during the election.

Deport them
That’s been the plan since the beginning of the illegal alien inundation.
Dilute the vote of the citizens to steal our country from us using fraudulently documented foreigners.
Thank God Trump broke through the Bush blockade that was keeping us from electing anyone who WOULD enforce the laws.
Nobody will every check to ensure you told the truth. Emperor ObaMao assured us of it.
I’m glad they dared us to find a single case.
If you’ve registered to vote in the U.S., and you’re not a citizen, it’s potential grounds for the denial of your citizenship application.”

Nothing burger
100%
The only way they stay in power is by cheating
I believe we are talking about 10’s of thousands of fraudulent votes in PA in the last election alone. Every election we have witnessed the evidence coming from places like Philadelphia.
