The Republican National Committee and the North Carolina Republican Party are claiming victory after they came to an agreement with the NC State Board of Elections on Tuesday that would require officials to use information gleaned from juror questionnaires to weed out noncitizens and remove them from the voting rolls.
The agreement still needs to be approved by the Wake County Superior Court.
The RNC posted the news on social media:
It’s really not complicated, said RNC Chair Joe Gruters — if you’re not a citizen, you should not be allowed to vote.
It is straightforward: if someone admits they are not a citizen when they are considered for jury duty, that same information should be used to ensure they are not registered to vote.
Election officials have a clear responsibility to uphold the law, and the RNC is taking action to make sure that non-citizens are removed from North Carolina’s voter rolls.
