Idaho Secretary of State removing 36 likely noncitizens as registered voters, says some voted

The Idaho Secretary of State Office is in the process of removing 36 “very likely” noncitizens from Idaho’s registered voter rolls.

Some of those noncitizens voted in past elections in Idaho, Secretary of State Phil McGrane told the Idaho Capital Sun, but he didn’t specify how many.

No noncitizens voted in Idaho’s statewide primary election this May, he said, and state election officials are working to ensure that no noncitizens vote in the upcoming November general election.

“There are a number of them that do have some form of voting history — whether it’s in local elections or some other election,” McGrane told the Sun. “And at this point, we’re handling each of those on a case-by-case basis” with law enforcement and county clerks.

We shouldn't be defensive because we don't know who they voted for. The Secretary might be removing votes for Trump.

The “overwhelming majority” proved to be “false positives” once further investigated, he said.
