Gaetz looks to ensure states can remove illegal immigrants from state voter rolls

States could be allowed to remove illegal immigrants from their voter rolls at any time under a new piece of legislation being introduced Friday by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

The bill, titled the National Motor Voter Clarification Act, would amend federal law to permit states to remove voters who are ineligible to vote due to “citizenship status” at any point during the year. Current law prohibits states from doing so within 90 days of an election.
