(DCNF)—Several Republican-led states have identified and removed thousands of noncitizens off their voting rolls as Election Day inches closer.
Government officials in Alabama, Virginia, Texas and Ohio have identified as many as 17,000 noncitizens on state voting rolls and have worked to remove them from the books, according to a tally of recent announcements by their state leaders. The announcements come as polls indicate a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, particularly in major swing states.
The Alabama secretary of state identified 3,251 individuals registered to vote who had been issued noncitizen identification numbers, the Virginia attorney general identified and removed 6,000 noncitizens on voter rolls since he entered office, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced his administration had purged more than 6,500 noncitizens from state voter rolls and the Ohio secretary of state says he’s identified 597 individuals registered to vote despite not being citizens — including 138 people who appear to have already cast a ballot.
“I’m duty-bound to make sure people who haven’t yet earned citizenship in this country do not vote in our elections,” Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said in an August statement regarding the discovery of noncitizens on voter rolls.
“The law requires me to refer [the noncitizens who allegedly voted in Ohio] to the attorney general, and that’s what we’re doing today,” LaRose continued.
Other election officials are being pushed to take action on alleged inclusion of noncitizens on local voter rolls via threat of legal action.
America First Legal — a Washington, D.C.,-based organization led by former Trump administration senior advisor Stephen Miller — filed a lawsuit against the Maricopa County, Arizona, recorder in August for allegedly disregarding state law by requiring officials to purge voter rolls of any noncitizens. There were over 35,000 registered voters in Arizona who did not provide proof of citizenship as of April 1, according to a press release by America First Legal in July, which demanded county recorders across the state to take action.
The concerted effort to remove noncitizens from voter rolls coincides with what appears to be a close presidential election.
The Real Clear Politics (RCP) average of recent national surveys shows Harris with a 1.8 % lead over Trump, well within the margin of error of most surveys. The RCP average also shows incredibly tight races in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and other swing states.
The fight to protect election integrity from noncitizens has reached the federal level, with Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy introducing legislation earlier this year that, if signed into law, would mandate states to remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls. However, the Biden-Harris administration so strongly opposed the bill, President Joe Biden issued a statement in July claiming the legislation was based on “easily proven falsehoods.”
“I’m honored to be in the crosshairs of the White House — This administration is clearly not interested in safeguarding American citizen’s right to vote,” Roy said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation in response to the White House’s vocal opposition.
“This is about political power,” Roy added.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
