福克斯新闻数字频道周四获悉，北卡罗来纳州如今必须将因陪审团职责而被免除陪审资格的非公民从选民名单中移除。
美国共和党全国委员会（RNC）与北卡罗来纳州共和党表示，他们已获得一项合意判决，要求北卡罗来纳州州选举委员会利用陪审团职责记录，识别出已承认并非美国公民的登记选民。
这些非公民将被从选民名单中清除，这是在民主党强烈反对的情况下，迫使该州清理选民名册的一次重大法律胜利。
“这项协议是北卡罗来纳州选举诚信工作的重大胜利，”共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯在一份声明中对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“道理很简单：如果有人在陪审期间承认自己并非美国公民，相关信息应用于核对选民名册，清除所有不符合资格的人员。”

该协议于周三经过19分钟的线上听证后，被高等法院法官詹妮弗·贝德福德批准。
据《卡罗来纳期刊》报道，贝德福德表示：“我认为，州议会已经相当明确地表示，这类信息不应被忽视。”她补充道，提交给法院系统的信息也应得到其他机构的认可。
该协议设定了截至2028年的时间表，要求法院书记员将相关信息发送至选举委员会。选举委员会在收到信息后的30天内，必须审查选民登记和公民身份状况，向各郡选举委员会提交已识别出的相关登记选民报告，若发现某人在成为美国公民前曾投票，还需将案件移交州调查局和地区检察官。

由伊莱亚斯律师事务所代表的两个团体——北卡罗来纳州亚裔美国人共同行动组织和埃尔·普韦布洛组织，反对协议中要求将因非公民身份申请免除陪审的人员名单发布在州选举委员会FTP网站上的条款。
他们的律师辩称，即便根据州法律这些记录属于公开信息，将其发布到网上仍可能引发隐私担忧，并产生寒蝉效应。
该协议源于共和党团体2024年提起的诉讼，他们指控州选举委员会未遵守北卡罗来纳州法律，该法律要求法院书记员报告那些声称自己并非公民以申请免除陪审职责的人员。

根据州法律，非公民不得在州级选举中投票，也不得担任陪审员，但前州长罗伊·库珀在2019年否决了一项旨在将非法移民从选民名册中清除的法案，这并未阻止此类情况发生。
该合意判决若获法院批准，将要求州选举委员会审查从各郡书记员处收到的信息，确定这些人员是否出现在选民名册中，并对所有被认定不符合资格的人员启动移除程序。
共和党全国委员会表示，其在2024年提交了公共记录申请，以确认选举委员会是否遵守了该法律，但未收到任何回复。

据共和党全国委员会透露，该委员会与州共和党随后提起诉讼，委员会最终同意将陪审团职责信息纳入选民名册维护工作。
传统基金会行动组织的民调显示，多数北卡罗来纳州民众——83%的共和党人、59%的无党派人士和52%的民主党人——支持各州将非公民从选民登记名册中清除。
此次诉讼是共和党更广泛的法律行动的一部分，该行动聚焦选民资格和公民身份要求。

RNC legal victory clears North Carolina voter roll purge of noncitizens through jury responses

GOP groups filed suit in 2024 accusing the state board of failing to comply with existing North Carolina law

The state of North Carolina now must remove noncitizens excused from jury duty from voter rolls, Fox News Digital has learned Thursday.
The Republican National Committee and North Carolina Republican Party say they secured a consent judgment requiring the North Carolina State Board of Elections to use jury-duty records to identify registered voters who have acknowledged they are not U.S. citizens.
Those noncitizens will have to be removed from voter rolls, a significant legal victory in forcing a state to purge its voter rolls amid strong Democrat opposition.
“This agreement is a major win for election integrity in North Carolina,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital in a statement. “It’s straightforward: if someone admits they’re not a U.S. citizen during jury duty, that information should be used to check the voter rolls and remove anyone who doesn’t belong.”

The agreement was accepted by Superior Court Judge Jennifer Bedford after an 19-minute online hearing Wednesday.
“This type of information, I think the General Assembly has made somewhat clear, should not fall on deaf ears,” Bedford said, The Carolina Journal reported, adding that information submitted to the court system should also be recognized by other agencies.
The agreement sets a schedule through 2028 for clerks to send the information to the elections board. Within 30 days of receiving it, the board must review voter-registration and citizenship status, send county elections boards reports on any registered voters identified, and refer cases to the State Bureau of Investigation and district attorneys if a person appears to have voted before becoming a U.S. citizen.

Two groups represented by the Elias Law Group, North Carolina Asian Americans Together and El Pueblo, objected to part of the deal requiring the list of people who claimed noncitizenship for jury-duty purposes to be posted on the state elections board’s FTP website.
Their attorney argued that publishing the information online could raise privacy concerns and have a chilling effect, even if the records are public under state law.
The agreement stems from a lawsuit the GOP groups filed in 2024, accusing the state board of failing to comply with a North Carolina law requiring clerks of court to report people who seek to be excused from jury service by saying they are not citizens.

Under state law, noncitizens are barred from voting in state elections and from serving on juries, but that did not stop then-Gov. Roy Cooper from vetoing a bill in 2019 that would remove illegal immigrants from voter rolls.
The consent judgment, if approved by the court, would require the state’s elections board to review information received from county clerks, determine whether those individuals appear on the voter rolls and begin removal procedures for anyone found to be ineligible.
The RNC said it filed a public-records request in 2024 seeking to determine whether the board was complying with the law but did not receive a response.

The RNC and the state GOP later sued, and the board agreed to use the jury-duty information as part of voter-roll maintenance, according to the RNC.
A majority of North Carolina — 83% of Republicans, 59% of Independents and 52% of Democrats – support states removing noncitizens from voter registration rolls, according to Heritage Action polling.
The case is part of a broader Republican legal push focused on voter eligibility and citizenship requirements.

The RNC is involved in litigation defending President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring documentary proof of citizenship, and has also asked the Supreme Court to take up a case involving Arizona’s proof-of-citizenship law.
