Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order last week preventing dead people and illegal immigrants from voting in his state. Codifying election integrity measures is the sort of routine work every state’s chief executive is supposed to undertake with an important election less than 90 days away, but failure to do so has consequences.
Last year, the Old Dominion identified and deleted the names of 79,867 dead people from the state’s voter rolls. Likewise, between January 2022, when the Republican took office, and last month, 6,303 noncitizens were on the voter list. They’ve been purged.
A handful of ineligible voters can make the difference between victory and defeat in a tight election. In addition to the presidential candidates vying for Virginia’s 13 electoral votes, there’s a Senate race between incumbent Democrat Tim Kaine and his Republican challenger, Navy veteran Hung Cao. Eleven congressional seats are also up for grabs.
Other governors, county executives and mayors — regardless of party — should follow Virginia’s lead to the extent that their state’s laws authorize them to do so.
A few are doing just that. Nevada’s Clark County last week moved some 102,000 voters to “inactive” status as part of voter-roll maintenance before the November election, a county spokesman announced. According to KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in the Las Vegas suburb of Winchester, “inactive voters are removed when the county registrar determines the voter is registered at an invalid address or no longer lives in the county.”
It’s coincidental that the scrubbing of Clark County’s list happened just before Mr. Youngkin’s executive order, but Nevada’s Republican governor, Joe Lombardo, was the county sheriff for eight years before becoming governor in 2023.

A good start. The swing states are where this action is most important for the Presidential Election. I hope other governors can be shamed into doing this.
Some governors don’t have the ability to do this. But if they can they should
But did they “vote” in the last election?
This begs the question...
How many of these dead and non-citizens VOTED last election?
Beat me to it... Curse my sausage fingers...
As many as necessary, I think.
The other question is how many districts had excess voting that went unnoticed because the voter rolls showed lots of inelligible voters.
All states need to do this, NOW!
How do you know if the ineligible corpses are democratic or republican?
Do they even need real people’s names to make fraudulent votes? Not being sarcastic. Curious.
Expect this to bump up the “R” count considerably across all races.
Just the corpses that are ineligible. Eligible corpses will remain.
FANTASTIC !!!
All states should be doing similar.
GOOD!!!
Lol, thought headlines said “thousands of inedible corpses”- need more coffee
There are still ways to cheat. States need to implement Voter ID, ballot machine software security, protections to prevent nursing home ballot interference, checks of each polling place to match votes cast to votes reported, etc.
