Alabama Secretary of State Announces Process to Remove 3,251 Voters Flagged by Noncitizen ID Numbers

The Department of Justice, a party to the case, says in its complaint that on the date above Secretary of State Wes Allen “announced that his office had begun implementing a process to remove from Alabama’s voter rolls 3,251 individuals” who had allegedly been issued noncitizen identification numbers.

Judge Anna Manasco read findings into the record on the second day of the preliminary injunction hearing. They include that more than 2,000 of the 3,251 voters originally on the list were “inaccurately inactivated” and reactivated, and that the record does not establish how many of the rest were inaccurately inactivated. The court issued a preliminary injunction that day. The table of this and other flagged-voter lists is in vt-flagged-voter-list-play-findings-2026-11-05.
