Cannot believe if all the things going on that this is something people want to fight about. If you are not a US citizen you should not be voting. If there was a mistake on you checking wrong box then this is easily fixed.

Describe how this would be fixed and how easy that would be. Would an email do it?

They were asked in the letter to provide proof of citizenship to the registrar’s office within 14 days. They didn’t.

Exactly.

Case closed.

Basically, the SC just invalidated a very straight forward law. By fiat.

Also, I'm worried that this opens the floodgates to other states tossing 10's of thousands off the voter rolls between now and Election Day.

Early vote NOW!

whats even crazier is that you don't need photo id to vote in Virginia, it says the following, a fricking utility bill lol which doesn't validate citizenship, so imagine if someone illegally is registered they could vote.

Accepted Forms of ID for Voting:

Voter Confirmation Documents: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Voter confirmation documents are issued upon registration, and proof of citizenship is generally only checked at the time of initial registration (not for every voter action).

Valid Virginia Driver's License: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Virginia driver’s licenses do not typically require proof of citizenship—just proof of residency in the state.

Valid United States Passport: Proof of Citizenship Required: YES. A U.S. passport does require proof of citizenship at the time of issuance.

Other Government-Issued ID by the Commonwealth of Virginia or the United States (excluding Driver Privilege Cards and Identification Privilege Cards): Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Most other state-issued or U.S. government IDs, aside from passports, do not require proof of citizenship—only proof of residency or legal presence is needed.

Valid Student ID Card from Higher Education Institutions or Private Schools in Virginia: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Student IDs are issued by educational institutions and do not verify citizenship.

Valid Student ID Card with Photo from Higher Education Institutions in Other U.S. States or Territories: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Out-of-state student IDs do not require proof of citizenship for issuance.

Valid Employee ID Card with Photo from the Voter’s Employer: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. Employee IDs are issued by employers to confirm employment and do not require proof of citizenship.

A Copy of a Current Utility Bill, Bank Statement, Government Check, Paycheck, or Other Government Document with Voter's Name and Address: Proof of Citizenship Required: NO. These documents serve as proof of residence or identity but do not verify citizenship.

If an individual is already registered to vote, these forms of ID simply validate their registration on election day; they do not serve as proof of citizenship. Therefore, someone could validate their registration without needing to prove citizenship if they were previously registered through valid or possibly erroneous means. This setup focuses on confirming the identity of registered voters rather than verifying their citizenship status at the polls.

Ultimately, this means that the focus on election day is to ensure registered voters are who they say they are, not to re-confirm their eligibility based on citizenship.

There is no proof citizenship ID other than a US passport. If you want to advocate for a free national ID card available only to citizens, be my guest.

No we can just use passports.

How is a citizen who was improperly removed from the voter rolls going to obtain a passport before the election?

People above are talking about a national ID not this particular case.

People here are insane to support non citizens voting. That is the intent, to allow only citizens the opportunity to vote in an election. I don’t care about systematic or non systematic deleting of names. If you respond to request to prove citizenship when you currently are not eligible, you are changed. If you don’t, you are removed. How is this at all controversial????? Allowing people WITHOUT documentation is where fraud is ripe to occur-on either side!!! I don’t care anything about if this is Republican or Democrat. This is literally common sense.

Why do you support purging U.S. citizens from the voter rolls?

Nobody supports that. It's illegal in VA. But questions abound:

1. Why wasn't this done sooner?
2. What is the breakdown in party designations between D, R, I?
3. What is the percentage of legal citizens contesting this per removed names?

I am a U.S. citizen.

Do not dilute my vote with registration shenanigans.

There is no party designation in Virginia. We do not register with a party. FFS can people stop posting that we do.

No common sense says you don’t purge people from the voter list just because they share a first and last name with someone else but not an address or social security number.

And 14 days to write back is nothing considering the way the mail works these days. I was out of town for 14 days in September— even assuming I got all my mail (which is a huge if IME) why should I be purged just because I was gone a couple of weeks.

Hell my credit cards give me a longer grace period and it’s not like anyone ever accused them of being too lax with people.

How are you so stupid that you don't see this is a stunt. Why didn't he do this years ago? Because it's a stunt to remove American citizens under the guise of solving a problem THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

Non-citizens are not allow to vote. It is illegal. NO ONE IS ADVOCATING FOR THEM TO VOTE. There is not problem here. This is a scam by Youngkin and the GOP to get rid of Democratic voters.

Wake up American. The GOP is dismantling our free and fair elections while making up lies about the Dems.

Anything that doesn’t smear Youngkin will be deleted. Read the site owner’s daily comments on the front page. It’s his MO.

They SELF IDENTIFIED as non citizens and have the ability to cure immediately. How is this even a question?

No non-citizens are voting.

This says nothing about investigating these 6300 names and seeing how many voted.

I think the appeals court noted he did this the very first day he was not allowed to do it— if he had done it one day earlier he’d have been outside the 90 day cooling off period and no problem.

But because R’s care more about getting people ginned up about the appearance of a problem than whether there is a problem or solution he did it this way so he could make all his stupid speeches and go to court pretending to care about the issue.

SMDH

So this is the guy that Dcum swoons over. I kind of believed you when I watched him speak once or twice. Eloquent and poised. He seemed innocuous. Thought he was a possible Rep VP pick. Do u think he’s gunning for 2028? I forgot about his son. Attempting to vote 2x. Weird.
