On Thursday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about one aspect of Virginia’s government that has been impacted by the election of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In an executive order<\/a> directing state agencies to undertake election security efforts ahead of the November election, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin revealed on Wednesday that the commonwealth\u2019s Department of Elections (ELECT) has removed more than 6,300 noncitizens from its voter rolls since his administration took office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll data collected by the DMV that identifies noncitizens is shared with ELECT, which uses it to scrub existing voter rolls and remove noncitizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote,\u201d Youngkin wrote. \u201cAccording to data from ELECT, between January 2022 and July 2024, records indicate we removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia is one of only three states to require<\/a> individuals \u201cprovide their full 9-digit Social Security number\u201d when registering to vote, according to Youngkin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia may be one of the few states that will have an honest election in November.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Youngkin further directed the state DMV to \u201cexpedite the interagency data-sharing with [ELECT] of noncitizens by generating a daily file of all noncitizen transactions, including addresses and documents.\u201d As noted by the governor, registrars are required by Virginia law to cancel the registration of an individual who registered to vote \u201cby falsely claiming that they are a citizen,\u201d and must report such cases to their local commonwealth\u2019s attorney.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur election security model is designed to prevent illegal votes and guarantee legal votes are accurately counted,\u201d Youngkin wrote. \u201cHowever, security procedures can only be as strong as the state and federal law which governs voting. Further strengthening of Virginia\u2019s election security system will rely on strengthening state and federal law.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

All states need to follow this example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
