Biden DOJ sues Virginia

Chat GPT...
In 2006, then-Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia signed a law that required non-citizens to be removed from voter rolls in the state. The law mandates that if someone declares themselves a non-citizen, they must be taken off the voter list. This policy was reaffirmed and is being enforced by current Governor Glenn Youngkin. However, the Biden administration filed a lawsuit against Virginia in 2024, arguing that the process could disenfranchise voters and violates federal election laws by occurring too close to the general election. The lawsuit is focused on timing, as federal law prohibits removing voters from rolls within 90 days of an election   .
Youngkin defended the policy, asserting that the law was designed to uphold election integrity by preventing non-citizens from voting, and emphasized that the enforcement was initiated in compliance with the law’s requirements.

The Federal Law states you can’t remove voters from the rolls within 90 Days of the Election. I suppose the counter argument is these aren’t voters being removed, it’s illegal for them to be voters, therefore the 90 days is inapplicable.
The question is why does the Biden DoJ want to keep noncitizens on the voter rolls when they can’t vote?

That’s where I think the lie is. The method probably gets a lot of baby with the bathwater.

seems to be some significant wishcasting that this process is so messy that lots of legal voters were removed. Maybe Youngkin is that dumb and brazen, and maybe he’s doubling down publicly in the face of a lawsuit where everything will be discoverable down to the very last name removed from the rolls, and their citizenship status. Maybe he’s that dumb and brazen. Maybe he had reason to believe the citizen voters removed by this process would have voted in ways he doesn’t like. Maybe. Or maybe this was actually just a removal of a bunch of people who aren’t allowed to vote. I know where I’d put my money.

Yep. It's all about the criteria. Here it is. Looks right to me.

I wonder what the Venn overlap is between people who giggle and sneer at Trump supporters who theorize about election shenanigans, and people who take seriously this theory about Youngkin engaging in election shenanigans where he intends to remove legal voters. 100% overlap? 99.9999%? Conservatively, 99.9%%

Those are the only two docs I’m aware of that are available to all.
Honestly the federal law makes perfect sense. Sure, we need to go through exercises to keep voter rolls up to date and clean. But those processes are going to have false positives, some times a lot of them. Can’t be doing that right before an election.

As I suspected, tons of false positives. There’s a good reason you don’t do this right before an election.
lol "tons". Never stated was how many non-citizens were removed successfully from the rolls, through this process. Stated clearly was the process by which any mistake could be rectified, a process which was entirely legal and limited to a time frame before the election. Theories about Youngkin doing this in order to keep legal voters from voting, remain the domain of conspiracy theorist imbeciles. His motivation is clearly to clean up the rolls.

Had he done this in June I’d agree with you. Rectification takes time. Might require getting a copy of your birth certificate. 90 days is totally reasonable, youngkin broke the law and will lose.

Whether he broke the law depends on the wording of the federal law which defines, in precise legalese, the actions prohibited within 90 days of an election. Is it really illegal to remove illegal voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election? I doubt it. Is it illegal to employ any process intended to remove illegals but which may remove others in error? We will let the courts decide, but it is obviously not a done deal until that decision is made.

Evidently this has been going on for months. The fact that the guy has claimed he has proven his citizenship 5 times points to the fact that this goes back to before the 90 day window.
