**Integrity**
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has taken decisive action to fortify election integrity in the state.
In a move aimed at safeguarding the electoral process, Landry signed Executive Order JML 24-136, mandating that all state agencies make it explicitly clear that only U.S. citizens are eligible to register and vote.
This executive order comes amidst growing concerns over the Biden administration’s handling of immigration and border security, which has seen over 7.8 million illegal crossings since taking office.
The order requires agencies to inform individuals applying for public assistance or state IDs that registering to vote without U.S. citizenship is illegal.
“This is about protecting every lawful citizen’s right to vote and ensuring that our elections remain secure and lawful,” Governor Landry stated during the announcement.
The order also compels the Louisiana Department of Motor Vehicles to share data on non-citizens and non-permanent residents with the Secretary of State’s Office.
Governor Landry’s commitment to election integrity resonates with many constituents who are concerned about the potential for unauthorized individuals to impact local and state elections.
“These actions are necessary to close loopholes and uphold the integrity of our electoral system,” he added.
As states grapple with the implications of changing immigration laws and voter eligibility standards, Louisiana is setting a precedent in prioritizing citizen participation in democracy.
Landry’s leadership on this issue reflects a broader call within the Republican Party for stricter voting regulations and a commitment to protecting the sanctity of the electoral process in America.
