Georgia's Secretary of State revealed Wednesday that 20 noncitizens registered to vote after a review of millions of registered voters. Authorities also opened case files on another 156 individuals whose citizenship status requires additional investigation.

The 20 noncitizens were removed from the state's voter rolls, which include over 8 million eligible voters, and referred to law enforcement. Nine of them had voted in the past, said Republican Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Secretary of State.
