The integrity of elections is a cornerstone of democracy, but ensuring that only eligible citizens can vote is a complex challenge. As the country prepares for upcoming elections, concerns about voter roll accuracy and the potential for ineligible voting have come to the forefront. The question of whether illegal aliens are registered to vote in various states has sparked heated debates and calls for action.

Understanding the Issue

Lt. Col. Jay DeLancy, a retired military officer and expert on election integrity, has dedicated himself to investigating and addressing these concerns. In his book, ‘Aliens Among Us,’ DeLancy defines an alien as ‘an unauthorized’ individual, highlighting the need to distinguish between legal and illegal aliens in the context of voting rights. According to DeLancy, ‘the answer is yes, because they’re everywhere’ when asked if there are illegal aliens on voter rolls in various states.

DeLancy’s work involves analyzing voter rolls and identifying potential discrepancies. He notes that one way to detect ineligible voters is by examining jury duty lists, which can reveal individuals who are not U.S. citizens but are registered to vote. However, obtaining these lists can be challenging, as some states have made them unavailable to the public.

Seeking Solutions

DeLancy and his team have successfully argued in court that they are not seeking jury lists but rather looking for individuals who are ineligible to vote. Their efforts have led to the passage of legislation aimed at ensuring the integrity of voter rolls. DeLancy emphasizes the importance of verifying the eligibility of voters, stating that ‘we’re not looking for the jury list, we’re looking for people who were’ ineligible to vote.

In addition to examining voter rolls, DeLancy suggests that notary public offices can be a valuable resource in identifying non-citizens. He notes that notaries often witness documents signed by individuals who may not be U.S. citizens, and these records can be used to detect potential voting irregularities.

State-Level Developments

Recent developments in various states highlight the ongoing debate over election integrity. In Georgia, the Secretary of State has announced that the state’s absentee ballot deadlines will remain unchanged following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Similarly, Kansas has decided to maintain its strict mail ballot deadline, requiring all ballots to be received by the time polls close.

In contrast, some states are taking steps to verify voter registration and maintain accurate voter rolls. In Nevada, the Registrar of Voters is mailing address confirmation cards to voters identified for inactivation, aiming to keep the voter rolls up to date.

Closing Thoughts

The conversation with Lt. Col. Jay DeLancy underscores the importance of ensuring election integrity and the need for continued efforts to verify voter eligibility. As DeLancy notes, ‘if you search for this book on Amazon, if you go by title, you’re going to get a bunch of books about UFOs.’ However, the issue at hand is far more serious, and it requires a thoughtful and multifaceted approach to address the complexities of election integrity.
