Last week, Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) directed the removal of illegal migrants from voter rolls after finding 6,000 names on the lists. This action aligns with the views of most voters, including 81% of Democrats and 73% of Hispanic voters. He stated, \u201cThis isn\u2019t a Democrat or Republican issue; it\u2019s an American and Virginian issue. Every legal vote should be counted without being diluted by illegal votes or faulty machines,\u201d following his executive order. Just days later, new data indicates that many voters support his initiative and desire their states to audit voter rolls to eliminate illegal voters. According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 78% of likely voters want their states to clean up voter rolls. Additionally, 85% believe that only U.S. citizens should participate in elections\u2014this likely extends to local elections where some states allow noncitizens to vote, as seen in places like Washington D.C. Furthermore, about 55% think that illegal immigrants are already casting votes in elections they are not permitted to participate in. While federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections\u2014including those for Congress and the presidency\u2014many polls suggest a belief that illegal immigrants do vote in these contests.<\/p>\n<p>Election integrity has gained prominence since the contentious 2020 election that led President Joe Biden into office; former President Donald Trump claims he was denied votes due to fraud during this election cycle. In response, several states like Virginia have sought to implement sensible voting regulations such as requiring identification\u2014a move opposed by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rasmussen&#8217;s analysis, \u201cMajorities across all political affiliations\u201487% of Republicans, 81% of Democrats, and 86% of unaffiliated voters\u2014believe only U.S citizens should be allowed to vote.\u201d As is often the case today with various issues, partisan politics influence opinions regarding voting by illegal immigrants; notably among Biden&#8217;s strongest supporters who are less inclined than others (only 21%) to believe noncitizens might be registered illegally in their state compared with a strikingly higher percentage (94%) among those who strongly disapprove of Biden\u2019s performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2647,"featured_media":2323159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Youngkin-Voters-Rasmussen-1-scaled-1024x681.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[32165,34832,32570,32076,15109],"class_list":["post-2323158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-illegal-immigrants","tag-public-opinion","tag-voting-rights","tag-washington-examiner","tag-youngkin"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Youngkin-Voters-Rasmussen-1-scaled-1024x681.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2647"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
