Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has issued an executive order that resulted in the removal of 6,303 noncitizens from the state's voter rolls. According to Youngkin, these individuals had either accidentally or maliciously attempted to register to vote. The initiative is part of broader election integrity efforts by Youngkin's administration, which also included the removal of nearly 80,000 deceased voters from the rolls last year. Local officials have noted that many of the noncitizen registrations were due to errors in paperwork or online responses. This move has sparked discussions and allegations of voter fraud.
