Judicial Watch uncovers removal of over 6,500 non-citizen voter registrations in Virginia

In a request filed in June 2026, Judicial Watch received documentation from Virginia’s Department of Elections indicating that 6,531 voter registrations flagged as non-citizens were removed between June 2024 and June 2026. The organization, led by Tom Fitton, described the number as “disturbing beyond belief” and called for further scrutiny by federal law-enforcement agencies. Fitton noted that the Commonwealth is poised to halt the practice of deleting declared non-citizen entries ahead of the November election, which he says could worsen the situation.

He linked the Virginia data to the earlier non-citizen voter scandal in New Jersey, suggesting it is only a small portion of a larger crisis. The records were released after Judicial Watch’s formal request, underscoring the group’s long-standing focus on election transparency. No additional details about the individuals involved were provided.
