[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am guessing they are "inadvertently" removing citizens too. It happened to me in 2013, the last time we had a Republican governor.[/quote]

“The agency alleges that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin violated the NVRA when announcing and subsequently carrying out an executive order which required the election commissioner to regularly update the state’s voter lists to remove individuals who have been "identified as noncitizens," and had not responded to a request to verify their citizenship in 14 days.”

Were you identified as a non-citizen, and did you receive a request to verify your citizenship you didn’t respond to?

Because that’s what VA is doing. They are only removing voters who have been identified as non-citizens and haven’t responded to verify their citizenship.

I am the farthest anybody could be from a non-citizen...I was born right here in Virginia. I received no communication of any sort. I showed up to the polls, voter card in hand and the election workers could not find me on the rolls. I had to cast a provisional ballot.[/quote]

Personally, I think Governor Youngkin should be charged with one felony for every US citizen he erroneously purges from the voter rolls with his law breaking actions.

He actually violated federal laws. He should be handcuffed by the FBI in public. [/quote]

The voters are given an opportunity to show proof they are citizens and before they are purged. You want a governor handcuffed by the fbi and charged with a felony if the voter doesn’t show that they are legally allowed to vote in an election? We have laws that are designed to protect our elections, that to you, are meaningless. You don’t care if elections are safeguarded and legally conducted. He’s breaking the law if he doesn’t follow election law and ensures people are voting legally.

Should we not have to register and show proof we are citizens before we vote? [/quote]
Blah blah blah. There’s a 90 quiet period and you fascists are happy to trample that, without any evidence of any wrongdoing. [/quote]

Our laws state that only citizens are legally allowed to vote in our elections. 365 days a year, our laws are in place. You criminals are happy to break our laws to allow non-citizens to illegally vote in our elections. [/quote]

First, one of the only “criminals” illegally voting in 2021 was Glen Youngkin’s son.

Second, if it were an actual issue, it can be dealt with for 3 years and 9 months out of every 4 years. If this is a huge issue in VA, does this mean  Youngkin was too corrupt and lazy to be bothered in the 2.5 years after he was sworn in and it didn’t dawn on him this was a problem until a month before the Presidential election.

It can actually take time to get motorized/ official birth certificates, marriage certificates, name changes, etc. and most people don’t have passports. Which is why the 90 day quiet period is the law. People have notice they need to collect the documents and time to get them before the election. Now, I do get that Republicans are above the law and think it’s great Youngkin is breaking it. But seriously?  He couldn’t just follow the law and done any purges a year, or even 6 months before the election, which is, you know, legal?  What changed between March and now that a purge wasn’t warranted in March, when it would have been legal and now, when it is not?  And why is it okay for Youngkin to break federal law? [/quote]
