Maine Democrat Politician Admits Noncitizens Are on Voting Rolls:

As the Trump administration prepares an executive order to ban mail-in voting and require voter identification, Maine’s Democrat secretary of state admitted non-citizen residents are registered to vote in her state.

“I’m sure there are, in some isolated incidents, some non-citizens may be on the rolls,” said Shenna Bellows, who is running for Maine governor in 2026.

This comes after Maine refused to comply with Department of Justice’s recent request to ensure Maine’s voter rolls are clean.

“Shenna Bellows fully admitted that non-citizens are registered to vote in Maine’s elections, and yet she refuses to clean up the voter rolls,” Republican National Committee press secretary Kiersten Pels told The Daily Signal. “Bellows is undermining Maine voters with her lack of transparency and blatant disregard for the law.”

In July 2025, the DOJ requested information from Bellows regarding Maine’s maintenance procedures for complying with the statewide voter registration list provisions of the National Voter Registration Act.

The act requires each state to make available for inspection “all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.”

Maine’s ‘Reckless’ Secretary Of State Admits ‘Some’ Noncitizens Are On State’s Voter Rolls:

Shenna Bellows, who has parlayed her activist brand of Trump Derangement Syndrome into a run for governor, refuses to open up voter files.

Just before the 2024 presidential election, Shenna Bellows, Maine’s Trump-hating secretary of state, shrugged off concerns about noncitizens casting ballots as a ploy by Republicans to “decrease trust in our elections and lay the groundwork to challenge results if they don’t win.”

Last year, the Democrat dismissed a conservative news outlet’s report that at least five foreign nationals have voted in Maine’s elections over the past eight years. She has suggested that the state’s safeguards keep noncitizens from voting.

But recently Bellows begrudgingly acknowledged that there are “some” noncitizens on the Pine Tree State’s registered voter list.

“I’m sure there are, um, in some isolated instances, some noncitizens may be on the rolls,” the elections official said in a video clip posted last week on the Maine Wire’s Facebook page. The conservative news outlet did not note when Bellows made the comments.

Conservative social media account Libs of TikTok picked up and pushed out the clip to a wider audience.

Just how many noncitizens are on Maine’s voter rolls? How much is “some?” That’s unclear. Bellows’ spokeswoman did not return The Federalist’s request for comment.

The Daily Signal on Thursday reported on the GOP’s response to Bellows interesting admission.

“Shenna Bellows fully admitted that non-citizens are registered to vote in Maine’s elections, and yet she refuses to clean up the voter rolls,” Republican National Committee press secretary Kiersten Pels told The Daily Signal. “Bellows is undermining Maine voters with her lack of transparency and blatant disregard for the law.” --->READ MORE HERE
