State officials are focusing on cleaning up voter rolls after the 2020 election, with significant debates over noncitizen voting. In Oregon, the Secretary of State is defending a law that automatically registered hundreds of noncitizens to vote. Meanwhile, Oregon Republicans have asked the governor to protect voter rolls following the registration of noncitizens by the DMV. Christine Drazan, a former Republican candidate for Oregon governor who lost by only three points in the super blue state, has called for an emergency pause in automatic voter registration pending an investigation. In Florida, officials are also looking to remove more noncitizens from voter rolls. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued new guidance on voter-roll maintenance, which critics argue may intimidate election workers. The DOJ's stance is that cleaning voter rolls may be discriminatory, a point of contention as states prepare for the 2024 election.
