Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s latest executive order told state officials to remove noncitizens from the state’s voting rolls.
“In Virginia, we have established a comprehensive approach and continuous improvement process for election security, which is necessary to ensure that individuals cast legal votes,” said Youngkin in the order. “The Virginia model for securing elections has proven itself over the past few years despite the significant expansion of voting days and locations and the lingering effects of the pandemic on state and local governments.”
Youngkin added: “Under my Administration, Virginia has made unprecedented strides in improving the accuracy of our voter list including substantial updates for removal of deceased voters and protection against non-citizen registration.”
Virginia removed over 6,000 noncitizens and 80,000 deceased voters from the rolls.
The order also specifies Virginia’s voting rules:
Virginia officials used data from the DMV to identify noncitizens. The data goes to the Department of Elections, “which uses it to scrub existing voter rolls and remove non-citizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote.”
Virginia requires people who register to vote to supply their full social security number.
The order also told the Department of Motor Vehicles to share with the Department of Elections the “non-citizens by generating a daily file of all non-citizens transactions, including addresses and document numbers.”
