CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner (R) said Wednesday that the state will not accept applications “illegally gathered by Federal agents.”
At issue is an Executive Order signed by President Joe Biden in March of 2021, but in a press release, Warner said it was just last week that the country’s chief election officials were told on a call with the White House that it’s implementing voter registration policies.
Mississippi’s Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday that he “had the chance to ask a White House official about the plans submitted by each agency to carry out the illegal executive order” but was told, “those plans are not public, and they never intended for them to be public.”

In his press release, Warner raised multiple sections of the United States Constitution that he believes the Executive Order violates, including the 10th Amendment, which reserved all powers not expressly given to the Federal Government in the Constitution to the states and Article 1 Section 4, which says the times, places, and manner of holding elections shall be left to the state legislatures.
“West Virginia will emphatically not give up our State’s duty to register voters in a nonpartisan manner to the Federal Government, nor will we accept voter registration forms collected by Federal agents. White House overtaking of State responsibilities is something we will fight all the way to the Supreme Court,” Warner said in the release.
