Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at preventing noncitizens from registering to vote before this November’s elections.

The order, entitled the Only Citizens Will Vote Act, directs Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane to immediately take “all necessary steps” to ensure that noncitizens are prevented from registering to vote and from participating in the state’s elections.

“Idaho already has the most secure elections in the nation, and we’re going to keep it that way. My executive order – the ONLY CITIZENS WILL VOTE Act – directs Secretary of State Phil McGrane to work with local county clerks to scrub our voter rolls and make sure Idaho’s elections do not fall prey to the consequences of Biden’s lawless open border,” Governor Little said on Tuesday.

Under the order, Secretary McGrane is directed to routinely review Idaho’s voter rolls in order to identify noncitizens, and to work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to verify the citizenship status of those registered.

Idaho state agencies will also be prohibited from providing voter registration materials to noncitizens.

“Across Idaho’s 44 counties, we have excellent mechanisms in place already to ensure non-citizens do not vote in Idaho, but there is always more we can do to make sure only citizens will vote. I am proud to work closely with Governor Brad Little to put in place a plan that keeps Idaho ahead of the pack in election integrity,” Secretary McGrane said.

Democrats are Hell Bent on allowing their 18 Million +/- Illegals that have entered our country in the last 3 1/2 years under Joe’s Reign to vote. If the Republicans do not stand up for our Democracy making certain that only legal residents of our county (State by State) may institute their constitutional right to secure election, 2024 will be our last election. Democrats have done a great job of running over the GOP in creating unlawful elections to gain and maintain political power!

A one sided government people is not what our founding farther designed. They were very wise men that wrote our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We the People need to start taking back our rights and oust the corrupt out of our government. It is not what our country was built upon!

I still do not believe that 11.9 million more people voted for Joe in 2020 than voted for Barack Hussein Obama received in 2012? I am not saying that Barrack was a great president in this statement. He did a lot of damage to our country in his 8 year reign. Joe is only doing what Barack would have done if allowed a third term. Who is actually pulling the Biden puppet strings and running the country? Barack, that would be my guess?

There was so much wrong with the 2020 election to believe that Joe Biden won fair and square. I also do not think that Donald Trump handled the cheat well either!

I live in Florida. I have a drivers license and a voter registration card. When I vote I must show a picture ID and my voter registration card. If you do not have a drivers license (picture ID) there are several other ways to obtain a voter registration card.

Verifying my identity is something that I have done to vote since I turned 18. I am 65 and showing proof of identity has never been an issue or hindered me from voting? It is something I had to do including 2020 election in the town I lived in at the time in Maine. I have never had to use an absentee ballot or voted out of country.

I was a Conservative Democrat/Independent for most of my life. Yes, there was such a thing, I voted for Ronald Reagan, Twice. Our last Great President.

I am now a registered Republican, the Democratic Party left me, I did not leave the Democratic Party! Unfortunately we have people in this country that will burn at the stake before admitting failure.

I doubt there is anyone in the current Maine administration who has any interest in securing our elections.
