(IntegrityPress.org) – Idaho is arguably already one of the states with the most secure elections; now a recently inked executive order will make them even more secure. The “Only Citizens Will Vote Act” was signed by Republican Gov. Brad Little on July 9. Little and Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane published a joint statement that elaborated and explained the reasoning behind the order.
McGrane was tasked with coordinating efforts with local county clerks to review current voter registrations and, in concert with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as well as the state’s Transportation Department and State Police, identify and purge any noncitizen from the database.
The statement highlighted that Idaho already has a number of protections in place to prevent illegal border crossers and other noncitizens from voting. However, they argued that due to regular incursions by illegals across the southern border to the tune of thousands per day, the steps were necessary to maintain the legitimacy of elections in Idaho.
The order specifically prohibits state agencies from distributing any information about voter registration to noncitizens. It also prohibits state agencies from forming any relationship with federal agencies that encourage, or require, distribution of voting information to noncitizens.
Little and McGrane further argue that Democrat states are discouraging Americans within their states from voting by attempting to include illegal criminal aliens in the process.
Illegals or noncitizens voting in federal elections is already prohibited at the federal level under a 1996 era immigration reform package. This doesn’t stop Democrats from ignoring the law and attempting to register illegals anyway.
Recently, Democrats in Congress voted against national voter ID legislation. It ended up passing the House, despite near-unanimous opposition from the Democrats. What will happen in the Senate is anyone’s guess.
Many illegals have openly stated their preference for Joe Biden on video, and when asked said that they intended to vote for him in November, despite that being a federal crime.
