On Friday, in response to the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) suing the Commonwealth of Virginia for removing illegal aliens from its voter rolls, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) introduced the “National Motor Voter Clarification Act” to ensure the U.S. Code matches what all Americans expect, and the Constitution allows: that states can remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls at any time.
Last week, the Biden-Harris DOJ filed an unprecedented lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia for requiring daily updates to its statewide voter list to remove noncitizens after more than 6,300 noncitizens were removed between January 2022 and July 2024. The lawsuit claims canceling voter registrations within 90 days of an election is prohibited despite a Virginia law allowing for the removal of noncitizens from the voting roll. Rep. Gaetz’s legislation, if enacted, would amend Title 52 of the United States Code to clarify federal law to ensure states are clearly allowed to remove voters who are ineligible due to “citizenship status” from their voting rolls within the 90 day window.
“Last week, the Biden-Harris DOJ turned its fire on Governor Youngkin of Virginia, suing to stop him from removing illegal aliens from the Virginia voter rolls.
I agree with the Governor that removing non-Americans from voter rolls is ‘common sense and constitutional,’ which is why I am introducing the ‘National Motor Voter Clarification Act.’ My bill will ensure Governors are allowed to do their jobs and remove illegal aliens from the voter rolls without fear of being targeted by the Biden-Harris Justice Department. It’s telling that the only ‘election integrity’ work the Biden-Harris Department of Justice seems interested in is ensuring maximal turnout for people who can’t even legally vote!” said Congressman Gaetz.
