President Trump’s Department of Justice has officially launched a sweeping nationwide investigation into bloated and corrupted voter rolls across the United States.
According to Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie, the effort comes directly from a March executive order signed by President Trump, tasking Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ with coordinating with state attorneys general to investigate and prosecute illegal voter registrations — including felons, dead voters, and foreign nationals.
On March 25, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”
The order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to coordinate with state attorneys general and election officials to identify and investigate “suspected election crimes” (e.g. voter fraud or illegal registrations).
It instructed the DOJ to enter information-sharing agreements with states so that any evidence of ineligible voting or registration discovered at the state level would be reported to federal authorities.
A major focus was placed on purging ineligible names from voter rolls and prosecuting unlawful registrations.
The DOJ was ordered to review voter lists for individuals who are not eligible to vote, including people with felony convictions, deceased individuals, and non-citizens, and to assist states in prosecuting such cases where appropriate.
In fact, the text of the order directs the Attorney General to “coordinate with State attorneys general” to pursue foreign nationals unlawfully registered or voting in U.S. elections and to enforce federal laws barring non-citizen voting.
It also mandates enforcement of existing list-maintenance laws (like the National Voter Registration Act and Help America Vote Act) that require removal of deceased or otherwise ineligible voters from the rolls.
To compel cooperation, the executive order empowered the Attorney General to withhold certain federal grants or funds from states that refused to comply with voter roll investigations or information-sharing.
In other words, if a state did not cooperate in rooting out illegal registrations or election fraud, the DOJ could pull related federal funding as leverage.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has already dispatched teams to problem states like California, Texas, and Minnesota.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) confirmed during a press conference that her state received a DOJ letter, and that according to NASS, all 50 states will eventually receive similar requests.
