Biden Administration Defends Noncitizen Voter Roll Controversy
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 46 days ago
The Biden-Harris administration is continuing its controversial stance on election integrity by fighting to keep noncitizens on voter rolls.
In a move that has raised eyebrows, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued guidance threatening legal action against states and election integrity watchdogs aiming to clean up voter registration lists within 90 days of the upcoming election.
This initiative follows Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen's efforts to remove nearly 3,251 individuals from the state's voter rolls who were identified as having noncitizen identification numbers issued by the Department of Homeland Security.
In response, a coalition of immigrant rights groups filed a lawsuit against Alabama, claiming these actions unfairly target naturalized citizens and U.S.-born citizens alike.
Compounding the controversy, the DOJ has filed a lawsuit against Alabama as well, positing that the state’s list maintenance efforts violate the so-called "quiet period" provisions established under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993.
The NVRA was designed to bolster voter rolls while simultaneously guarding against fraud, but many Republicans have long expressed their concerns about the possibility of noncitizens voting.
Historically, attempts to introduce measures requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration have been met with resistance, and this echoes loudly amid the Biden administration's support for policies that critics argue may dilute the integrity of the electoral process.
In Alabama's case, the state maintains its right to remove ineligible voters, arguing that the NVRA permits such actions, especially for individuals registered to vote who were never legally eligible in the first place.
This legal struggle showcases a broader national debate over election security and the lengths to which states must go to ensure clean voter registration practices.
As more Americans become aware of these legal challenges, it raises fundamental questions about the integrity of the electoral process and whether political agendas are compromising fair and honest elections.
With the election fast approaching, Alabama and other states find themselves in a precarious position, attempting to navigate federal guidelines while ensuring that their voter rolls accurately reflect their eligible population.
