[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contrary to NPR’s hysterical lies, not a single person has been disenfranchised in VA.

Not even one.

Commonwealth of Virginia residents eligible to vote can still register during early voting or on Election Day, and cast provisional ballots.[/quote]

This is in violation of the NVRA.  Maybe the Supreme Court issued their stay using your logic but we don't know because they didn't say.  All we know is that this is in violation of the law and the Supreme Court is currently supporting it.  [/quote]

No. The NVRA (52 USC 20501) only applies to eligible citizens.

Read it. Don't take my word for it.[/quote]

I read it— that’s not what it says. [/quote]

Sure it does, section 6, 2.[/quote]

The actual language of the NVRA is quoted above. Why don’t you quote what you think the language is?[/quote]

I mean, I just did but here you go

The purposes of this chapter are-
(1) to establish procedures that will increase the number of eligible citizens who register to vote in elections for Federal office;
(2) to make it possible for Federal, State, and local governments to implement this chapter in a manner that enhances the participation of ELIGIBLE CITIZENS as voters in elections for Federal office;
(3) to protect the integrity of the electoral process; and
(4) to ensure that accurate and current voter registration rolls are maintained.

Yes that is the section setting out the purposes of the NVRA— which makes clear that one of the purposes is to enhance the participation of eligible citizens.

Purging eligible citizens from the voter rolls is therefore contrary to the purposes of the NVRA.

Here is the actual text of the NVRA on voter removal programs. —

(c) Voter removal programs
(1) A State may meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4) by establishing a program under which—
(A) change-of-address information supplied by the Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registrants whose addresses may have changed; and
(B) if it appears from information provided by the Postal Service that—
(i) a registrant has moved to a different residence address in the same registrar's jurisdiction in which the registrant is currently registered, the registrar changes the registration records to show the new address and sends the registrant a notice of the change by forwardable mail and a postage prepaid pre-addressed return form by which the registrant may verify or correct the address information; or
(ii) the registrant has moved to a different residence address not in the same registrar's jurisdiction, the registrar uses the notice procedure described in subsection (d)(2) to confirm the change of address.

([b]2)(A) A State shall complete, not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for Federal office, any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.[/b]
(B) Subparagraph (A) shall not be construed to preclude—
(i) the removal of names from official lists of voters on a basis described in paragraph (3)(A) or (B) or (4)(A) of subsection (a); or
(ii) correction of registration records pursuant to this chapter.[/quote]
