Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice official under George W. Bush who has since become president and general counsel of the conservative Public Interest Legal Foundation, told lawmakers that U.S. courts have interpreted the National Voter Registration Act\u2019s requirements on voter list maintenance too loosely, by specifying only that states must make a \u201crational effort\u201d to keep their voter lists updated and remove ineligible voters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He claimed states like Michigan under Democratic Secretary of State <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/radio\/michigan-secretary-of-state-jocelyn-benson\/\">Jocelyn Benson<\/a> received an \u201cA for effort in court\u201d but deserve an \u201cF for outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever mind if someone is registered multiple times, nevermind if a registration is missing the date of birth,\u201d Adams said. \u201cNone of this matters under these court rulings; only whether a state makes a rational effort. Results don\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notably absent from Adams\u2019s testimony was any claim or evidence that Michigan\u2019s system for verifying citizenship has led to higher rates of voter fraud or noncitizen voting.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Reimer, president and CEO of Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, is part of a growing chorus of Republicans who are calling for changes to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to allow states to remove voters from voter rolls closer to elections. He also called for Congress to \u201cexempt\u201d noncitizen removal from any restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing aligned with a larger push by the GOP and President Donald Trump to argue that state voter rolls are woefully out of date and that more stringent deregistration efforts are needed to ensure noncitizens aren\u2019t voting en masse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The administration has <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/congress-letter-save-dhs-uscis-save-immigrant-voter-file\/\">waged lawsuits and filed inquiries with multiple states<\/a> in recent months alleging deficiencies in their voter registration maintenance. In North Carolina, Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin convinced several state courts, including the State Supreme Court, to hold tens of thousands of voter ballots for additional scrutiny and curing around identity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/politics-government\/article298112768.html\">leaving voters just 15 days<\/a> to cure any defects before their ballots were thrown out. <\/p>\n<p>But most states do indeed conduct regular maintenance of their voter rolls, and numerous post-election audits \u2014 in some cases going back decades \u2014 conducted in Republican-leaning states like Ohio, Iowa and Georgia have failed to find more than a few dozen cases of noncitizens being registered to vote, while an even smaller fraction were found to have cast a ballot.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter sent to House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urged the committee to use his state\u2019s policies as a \u201cblueprint\u201d for national election laws, including Voter ID, banning ballot harvesting of mail-in and absentee votes, and robust use of tools like the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/voter-citizenship-verification-trump-save-database\/\">Federal SAVE database<\/a> to identify and purge voters suspected of being noncitizens.<\/p>\n<p>One \u201cfederal barrier\u201d cited by Raffensperger was a section of the National Voter Registration Act that prohibits states from conducting voter roll purges less than 90 days before an election. This \u201cquiet period\u201d was explicitly designed to prevent states from disenfranchising large numbers of voters right before an election \u2014 when relief from the courts could come too late.<\/p>\n<p>But Raffensperger pressed Congress to lift those restrictions, saying the 90-day period \u201crestricts us from conducting systematic list maintenance in federal election years precisely when clean voter rolls are most scrutinized.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When states like Georgia use the SAVE system, most people flagged as \u201cpotential noncitizens\u201d are actually eligible voters. They are often citizens who were misidentified due to minor paperwork errors by election offices years ago, or individuals who have since become citizens and are now legally permitted to vote. <\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive audit of Georgia\u2019s voter rolls by Raffensperger\u2019s office last year <a href=\"https:\/\/georgiarecorder.com\/briefs\/georgia-gop-secretary-of-state-reports-audit-found-20-noncitizens-registered-to-vote-out-of-8-2m\/\">found<\/a> just 20 registered noncitizens out of 8.2 million registered voters. Of those 20, just nine ever cast an actual ballot in an election, with most of them prior to the implementation of citizenship verification requirements by the Georgia Department of Driver Services in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., ranking member of the committee, decried GOP efforts to increase voter roll purges, citing evidence that supposed noncitizen expulsions carried out by states <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/alabama-voter-purge-allen-secretary-state-judge-6cec74a5bc2afef14beae6827d4cf971\">historically disenfranchise more eligible voters<\/a>. \u201cThe majority is more interested in promoting illegal and sloppy efforts to manipulate elections\u201d than finding fraud, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Kay Heling, who has lived in North Carolina since 2016 and voted in prior elections, said she is one of 200,000 voters who had their ballots challenged last year by Judge Griffin, then a Republican candidate for the state\u2019s Supreme Court. <\/p>\n<p>Heling said she registered to vote using the last four digits of her Social Security number and voted in person on Election Day, but her ballot was flagged along with 200,000 other voters as potentially suspect. She said she was told by the State Board of Elections that there was a potential mismatch around her voter information, but never clarified the actual error.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While Griffin eventually dropped his lawsuit, the Department of Justice under Trump is now suing North Carolina to force those voters to prove their identity and citizenship or lose their voting privileges. The North Carolina State Board of Elections, which <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/north-carolina-election-board-director-republicans-6222e773410c5edf4941ed31f3ff54ca\">recently fired<\/a> its executive director and replaced her with the general counsel for state Republican Speaker Sam Hayes, has said it is beginning the process of notifying voters.<\/p>\n<p>Heling said the process of proving her identity repeatedly to North Carolina officials was exhausting. She worried that \u201cthere are 200,000-plus more voters that are going to have to go through what I did,\u201d adding that she will never truly be certain whether her vote will count in future elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will check before the next election, I will verify it again, but you should be able to register and not worry about this,\u201d Heling said. \u201cI will not be assured until I see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"4\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/house-republicans-endorse-stricter-state-and-federal-led-voter-roll-purges-despite-dearth-of-evidence-on-fraud-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
