[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did they wait to clean the voter rolls? [/quote]

As long as they clean the them, I’m good.
But I agree that if this is procrastination/laziness and not a matter of not finding out earlier, that’s an issue.[/quote]

It's a matter of Youngkin trying to get the Supreme Court to invalidate the plain text of a federal law. He did it exactly on the 90th day. And his actions resulted in American citizens losing their right to vote.

They want to open the floodgates to purge American citizens at the last minute in the name of "preventing non-citizens from voting." In fact, Youngkin purged more American citizens than Virginians prosecuted for voter fraud (three) since he became Governor. [/quote]

DP.  You are an absolute idiot.  The people removed ARE NOT CITIZENS.

Governor Youngkin responded to the ruling:

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals–who self-identified themselves as noncitizens–back onto the voter rolls. [b]Almost all these individuals had previously presented immigration documents confirming their noncitizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities.
[/b]
“This is a Virginia law passed in 2006, signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, that mandates certain procedures to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, with safeguards in place to affirm citizenship before removal–and the ultimate failsafe of same-day registration for U.S. citizens to cast a provisional ballot. This law has been applied in every Presidential election by Republicans and Democrats since enacted 18 years ago.

“Virginia will immediately petition the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and, if necessary, the U.S. Supreme Court, for an emergency stay of the injunction.”

Attorney General Jason Miyares also responded:

“[b]It should never be illegal to remove an illegal voter,” said Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. “Yet, today a Court – urged by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice – ordered Virginia to put the names of non-citizens back on the voter rolls, mere days before a presidential election.[/b] The Department of Justice pulled this shameful, politically motivated stunt 25 days before Election Day, challenging a Virginia process signed into law 18 years ago by a Democrat governor and approved by the Department of Justice in 2006.

“More concerning is the open practice by the Biden-Harris administration to weaponize the legal system against the enemies of so-called progress. That is the definition of lawfare. To openly choose weaponization over good process and lawfare over integrity isn’t democracy: it’s bullying, pure and simple, and I always stand up to bullies.

“In the meantime, I encourage every Virginian to exercise their right to vote. Rest assured, I will never stop fighting to preserve the integrity of our election process.

“The Commonwealth of Virginia will appeal this decision – all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary.”

[b]1600, apparently, are citizens[/b] and the court ordered their franchise reinstated.  Youngkin is a MAGA POS. Thank God he can only serve one term as Gov. In Virginia.[/quote]

Well, that’s utter BS.  1500 voters were purged - almost ALL of whom had indicated they were non-citizens.  Nice spreading of misinformation, otherwise known as lying.
Any false positives can be reinstated on Election Day.

“At a daylong hearing Thursday, Charles Cooper, a lawyer for Virginia, argued that purges focused on non-citizens weren’t covered under the quiet period imposed by the National Voter Registration Act, and that Virginia’s procedures were not the kind of “systematic” program addressed in the federal law.

He also pointed to the opportunities that Virginia offered citizens to rectify false positives, which also include the ability to re-register at a polling place on Election Day.”

Almost all?  Horseshoes and hand grenades, son.

Tell ya what, you show up, get told you were purged, despite living in the same house for 20 years. Get sent to a different polling station because your purged self didn’t get the notice it had changed this election because of construction at the high school. Stand in line again, get invited to file a *provisional* ballot, and do not watch it get scanned.  But get told that if it will make a difference, they will look and see if they need to prove it’s valid.  And you believe them, because Youngkin so honest about voting. /s. Then you go on out and donate to whatever a Youngkin  does next because he protected us from almost non-citizens, such as yourself.

What did you just mutter?  They would never purge you because you’re —————-?  Fill in the blank. Go ahead.

“Almost” non-citizens got purged.  I wonder what shade of brown you need to be on the paint chips to be an “almost” non-citizen? [/quote]
