Congressman Biggs and Senator Hagerty Demand DOJ Provide Steps Taken to Ensure Election Integrity

Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) led a letter, cosigned by 60 House and Senate colleagues, to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to inquire about the measures that have been taken by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to safeguard American elections from being hijacked by illegal aliens. Recent reports regarding alarming events in South Carolina, Georgia, and Ohio raise justified concerns as to the integrity of our federal elections. There is no publicly available information to suggest that the Department of Justice is investigating or bringing cases against aliens who violate federal election law.

Congressman Biggs and Senator Hagerty's letter requires AG Garland to provide information regarding the steps, if any, taken by the DOJ to prosecute non-citizens for illegally voting or registering to vote in federal elections.

"Now more than ever it is imperative to ensure that American citizens can have confidence in the security of our elections," said Congressman Biggs.

"Upwards of 10 million illegal aliens have been released into our country through our porous borders during Joe Biden's presidency. Americans should not have to be concerned that their voices will be drowned out by the voices of illegal aliens when electing officials for political offices.

"I'm grateful to Senator Hagerty for leading this effort in the Senate and to my colleagues who understand the significance of this oversight."
