Connecticut Votes Secure Amid Fraud Claims | Hartford News

Connecticut’s Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas held a press conference to address swirling rumors that DHS is investigating nine states for voter fraud — including Connecticut. While CNN reported an internal DHS plan targeting noncitizens on voter rolls, Thomas said no state officials in Connecticut have received federal contact as of Sept. 1, 2026. DHS declined to confirm active investigations but affirmed its mission to root out fraud and cited evidence of up to 24,000 noncitizen registrations — though only four prosecutions have occurred. A West Hartford case involving an ICE detainee who was once registered but never voted underscored flaws in automatic registration systems. Thomas vowed to uphold election security regardless of the investigation’s validity, assuring voters that safeguards are in place to protect the integrity of the ballot.
