Pennsylvania Sec. Al Schmidt Uncovers Hundreds of Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls in Addition to Another 11,000 Previously Flagged
Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt (R) has confirmed that hundreds of non-citizens were found registered to vote, and in some cases casting ballots, in the Keystone State.
The revelation comes on top of a much larger pool of 11,198 voters who were previously flagged for eligibility concerns, triggering renewed scrutiny over how such discrepancies were allowed to persist in a critical swing state.
According to Spotlight PA, Schmidt’s own investigation as former Philadelphia City Commissioner uncovered a disastrous PennDOT motor-voter glitch that let 168 non-citizens in Philly register through the automatic system (required by federal law but botched beyond belief), plus another 52 registered by other shady means. These non-citizens didn’t just sit on the rolls, they cast a total of 227 votes across multiple elections!
And that’s just Philadelphia. Statewide, back in 2018, officials sent confirmation letters to 11,198 voters flagged as potential non-citizens after matching driver’s license data with immigration records.
Some were removed, but the state still admits they don’t have an exact count of how many illegals slipped through. This scandal traces back to the mid-1990s, meaning generations of non-citizens have been diluting the votes of real American citizens in the Keystone State!
Despite this, Schmidt has stopped short of embracing what many Americans see as very real and growing threats—particularly when it comes to noncitizen voting. Instead, he continues to emphasize a so-called “balance” between election security and voter access.
“I’ve always heard my whole life, even though I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, about concerns about voter fraud and voting irregularities in Philadelphia elections,” Schmidt told Votebeat and Spotlight PA in a recent interview. “So I wanted to be able to sort out fact from fiction.”
As The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly documented, Pennsylvania’s election system has been a disaster for years.
We’ve covered the non-citizen motor-voter fiasco since at least 2017-2018, when Schmidt himself testified about potentially tens of thousands of matches between non-citizen driver’s licenses and voter registrations.
Public Interest Legal Foundation lawsuits and analyses pointed to over 100,000 potential non-citizen registrations at one point. Yet Democrats in Harrisburg , under Gov. Josh Shapiro, continue to drag their feet.
Schmidt’s own office has resisted turning over full voter data to the Trump DOJ for citizenship verification, hiding behind “privacy” excuses even as the feds push for SAVE database checks.
This is a reminder that the DOJ is suing Pennsylvania for its voter rolls
b/c Secretary Al Schmidt refuses to turn them over.
Meanwhile, the picture below is an actively registered illegal alien

Why the resistance if there’s “nothing to see here,” Mr. Secretary? One illegal vote is one too many in a state decided by mere thousands in recent cycles!
BREAKING
Secretary Al Schmidt discovered hundreds of non-citizens on the Pennsylvania voter rolls.
This is in addition to another 11,198 voters that were flagged.
So, yes, we have incontrovertible PROOF that illegal aliens are voting in PA.
