We see you, Democrats. We see you for who and what you are.
You are un-American, hateful, and rotten to the core.
The Biden administration sued Virginia over the state’s effort to remove noncitizens from its voting lists, arguing the move violated a federal law that bars changes to the rolls so close to an election.
Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin in August ordered state officials to conduct “daily updates” to remove ineligible voters, including felons and those who are “unable to verify that they are citizens.”
The Justice Department on Friday said that amounts to a formalized cleansing of the voter rolls, which it said violates a 1993 law on voter registration.
“By canceling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke.
The National Voter Registration Act encourages states to clean their voter rolls but also creates a “quiet period” for the 90 days before a federal election. Taking off individual names of people who request to be removed is considered acceptable, but systemic removals are forbidden.
Mr. Youngkin, in a statement, blasted the case.
“With less than 30 days until the election, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is filing an unprecedented lawsuit against me and the Commonwealth of Virginia, for appropriately enforcing a 2006 law signed by Democrat Tim Kaine that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls,” he said.
He said the noncitizens Virginia cleaned from its rolls had previously declared “themselves a non-citizen,” then registered to vote.
“I will not stand idly by as this politically motivated action tries to interfere in our elections, period,” the governor said.
