It should not be controversial to remove noncitizens from voter rolls but for some reason Democrats continue to bring lawsuits to stop the practice and sometimes they are successful.

On Wednesday U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco of the Northern District of Alabama, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, ordered Alabama to stop a program designed to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls between now and Election Day and said that the governor and Secretary of State must quickly advise counties to restore those who have already been removed, The Daily Caller reported.

“This action sends a clear message that the Justice Department will work to ensure that the rights of eligible voters are protected,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a press release. “The National Voter Registration Act’s 90 day Quiet Period Provision is an important safeguard to prevent erroneous eleventh-hour efforts that stand to disenfranchise eligible voters. The Justice Department remains steadfast in our resolve to protect voters from unlawful removal from the registration rolls and to ensure that states comply with the mandate of federal law.”

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said in August that his office had discovered 3,251 people who were registered to vote in the state but who had also received non-citizen identification numbers from the Department of Homeland Security.

He then ordered the counties in his state to remove those individuals from the voter rolls.

“I have been clear that I will not tolerate the participation of noncitizens in our elections,” he said. “We have examined the current voter file in an attempt to identify anyone who appears on that list that has been issued a noncitizen identification number.”

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit immediately because the law prohibits removing voters within 90 days of an election.

It remains against the law to vote as a noncitizen and the Secretary of State has vowed to protect the integrity of the vote but also follow the judge’s order.
