GOP States Intensify Scrutiny on Voter Rolls

Texas, Virginia, and Alabama lead efforts to identify and remove non-citizens, raising concerns about voter suppression and legal compliance.

Texas claims removal of 6,500 potential non-citizens since 2021, with 1,930 flagged for further investigation.
Virginia reports 6,303 non-citizens removed from voter rolls since January 2022.
Alabama identifies 3,251 registered voters as non-citizens, moving them to inactive status pending verification.
Critics argue these actions may discourage eligible voters, particularly naturalized citizens, from participating in elections.
Voting rights groups warn these purges could violate federal laws protecting voter registration.
