NC conservatives win suit to remove non-citizens from voter rolls

I find it completely crazy that this was something that the conservatives had to even file a suit for. Unless you stand on the crazy side of things, I don't think this should be a partisan issue at all and don't understand why anyone would contest this or even attempt to fight for the other side of things. If you aren't a member of something, whether that be a club, a board of directors, a prison shotput team, or a nation or state, you shouldn't be allowed to vote there.

Is this something that can honestly be contested?

The reason why this needed to happen is because of two groups filing suit you probably haven't heard of and because of the man you see above.

I'll be a bit more specific as it applies to North Carolina: The argument was that if someone is summoned for jury duty, and that person states that they are not a US citizen on this summons, then their presence on the voter roll needs to be purged once it is determined they in fact are not a US citizen.

The agreement sets a schedule through 2028 for clerks to send the information to the elections board. Within 30 days of receiving it, the board must review voter-registration and citizenship status, send county elections boards reports on any registered voters identified, and refer cases to the State Bureau of Investigation and district attorneys if a person appears to have voted before becoming a U.S. citizen.

Now while I am sure there are some ulterior motives to this, because there always is in politics, that seems about a cut and dry as it comes to me and I don't know how anyone would have any grounds to oppose this. The district judge certainly didn't because this was settled in an online session in less than 20 minutes.

I don't want to spend too much time on it but the only reason why this had to be brought in front of judge was become North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill in 2019 that would have required illegal immigrants from being removed from voter rolls. I'm not going to look any more into that but this must have been a pressured call on his part, perhaps connected to actors outside of the state. I say this because while North Carolina does have a Democrat governor every now and then, the state is mostly conservative.

On this specific issue most North Carolina citizens support removing illegal aliens from the ability to vote, including a majority of registered Democrats.

I think if you don't want to be involved in jury duty because you are a non-citizen (which is something you are not ALLOWED to do if you are a non-citizen) then you definitely shouldn't be allowed to vote as well. Cake and eating it too?

But let's not get ahead of ourselves ok, because even though I am a conservative I know how dirty politics can be. I think the real reason why this is being brought up is because governor Roy Cooper is running for North Carolina Senate in 2026 and the RNC is looking to stir up as much dirt on the guy as possible.

For the most part, I feel like the guy was a pretty good governor, even during Covid when he felt the pressure to enforce stay-at-home laws but when conservative counties decided to not comply he didn't make efforts to force them to do so via force.

I don't really think this is about the actual purging of the voter rolls but if it was, I find it extremely silly that anyone would seriously oppose this.
