From the Daily Caller: Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order on Wednesday that aims to strengthen election security in the state, including the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls and establishing procedures to prosecute them.
Youngkin’s office issued Executive Order 35, which codifies election integrity in the state through a slate of measures, including tighter ballot security procedures, enhanced voter machine testing and voter-list maintenance that more thoroughly identifies and removes noncitizens on voter rolls. The order builds upon election integrity efforts made earlier in his administration, such as an executive order in June that updated data-sharing agreements and streamlined the removal of dead voters from the rolls.
“The Virginia model for Election Security works,” Youngkin said Wednesday in a press release announcing the executive order. “This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s an American and Virginian issue.”
“Every legal vote deserves to be counted without being watered down by illegal votes or inaccurate machines. In Virginia, we don’t play games and our model for election security is working,” the governor continued.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced Wednesday: “6,303. That’s the number of noncitizens identified and removed from Virginia’s voting rolls under our watch. I’m proud of my office’s work to help ensure election integrity.”

“Call me crazy, but I think American elections should be decided by American citizens, and Virginia elections should be decided by Virginians,” Youngkin declared.
