Cooper acknowledged that some of the 1,600 voters identified by the state as noncitizens may well be citizens.................

A judge orders Virginia to restore 1,600 voter registrations purged ahead of the election

Common sense is what won here in Virginia......OP would not know common sense if it reared-up and bit him in the ass.

Supreme Court Allows Virginia Plan To Purge Supposed Non-Citizens To Go Forward

In a win for Republicans trying to perpetuate the myth that non-citizens will vote en masse for Democrats, the Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a voter purge program in Virginia to move forward only days before the presidential election.

The justices blocked a lower court ruling that found the purge program was a direct violation of a National Voter Registration Act provision that, the court found, would prevent the purge so close to the election.

Wednesday’s brief Supreme Court order noted that all three liberal justices dissented.

Although Wednesday’s decision — which allows for the removal of close to 1,600 voters from the voter rolls — is not a ruling on the future of the program, it will likely disenfranchise eligible voters in the state. Experts and the plaintiffs in the suit have argued that the list of roughly 1,600 almost certainly contains people who are citizens, and Virginia officials have not been able to muster evidence to contradict that point.

More broadly, the decision gives breathing room to false Republican talking points that non-citizens are voting en masse on behalf of Democrats this cycle.

"It's a small thing in the big picture. Small in the sense it only affects about 1,600 voters."

Actually, I find that kind of thinking troubling for a number of reasons. Primarily, for the way the conservatives obtained a majority of seats on the SC bench. McTreason's (who was only the Senate leader because of the disproportionate over representation of red states in the Senate) unprecedented treachery and trump winning the presidency with a minority of popular votes.

If Dem's were ruling while in the minority you can bet Repub's would have mobilized in ways Dem's do not. Repub's launched a plan to impose their views on abortion on the majority 30 years ago and look where we are now. Women are dying because they can't get reproductive healthcare.

Is there a effort happening right now to get rid of the antiquated way we elect the prez? Yes. https://act.commoncause.org/petitio...MI0MOw9NO4iQMVtA2tBh2QSiNhEAAYASAAEgJSO_D_BwE
Is it getting the all out support from Dem's it requires? No.

As surreal as it seems, a convicted felon who was found financially liable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute) and tried to illegally install himself as prez may be on the cusp of being returned to the WH. If that doesn't motivate Dem's to do everything we can to change the system to reflect the will of the majority then the country will suffer the consequences for decades to come.

Perhaps you shouldn't have pretended for so long that Joe didn't have dementia and run a real primary so you had a candidate that isn't singularly vapid and unqualified. She's losing to freaking Hitler, for goodness sake.

Democrats here at USMB don't care HOW they get votes, only that they get them.

That is because the only thing they know about the political system is what team they are on.

 

[Rawley]

The law trump's court ignored could not be more clear. Once again showing the conservative's priority of the Repub agenda over established statute.

This was not a systemic removal - it was individualized, as allowed by the law.

Things that are above ^ Bug’s ability to think:

1. Removing an intelligible alien (which is redundant) from our voter rolls will is simply removing from the voter rolls people who are not allowed to vote anyway.

2. Everything else in life.

And there are ALWAYS “mistakes”

Tell me, BergIQ80, why do you even WANT these illegal invaders who are not American citizens infiltrating our system and usurping the role of actual citizens?

I mean, other than your hoping they serve the needs of the world economic forum?

 

[berg80]

Nope. Where does it say non citizens are allowed to vote?

Having trouble comprehending this?

Yes. Section 8 requires States to complete any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official list of eligible voters not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary election or general election for federal office. This 90 day deadline applies to state list maintenance verification activities such as general mailings and door to door canvasses.

VA had an opportunity to comply with the law but didn't.

 

[berg80]

Purges are fine.

Depends on the criteria, IMO.

Florida voters mistakenly purged in 2000​

An effort ordered by Gov. Rick Scott to purge Florida's voter rolls of noncitizens has U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson feeling a sour case of déjà vu.

Nelson, a Democrat, links the hunt for illegal voters with the 2000 election — before anyone even uttered the word "recount" — and Florida's botched attempt to remove felons from the rolls ahead of Election Day.

He warned Scott about repeating the ordeal in a letter.

"In the 2000 Florida election, at least 1,100 eligible voters were wrongly dropped from voting rolls in an attempt to purge a list of felons," Nelson wrote. "Many of those who were dropped showed up to vote and were told they could not. And in a presidential election decided by 537 votes, that erroneous purge may have been a factor."

Ryan Snow, a lawyer for one of the groups challenging the removals, said the order ignores federal law that bars striking registered voters “on the eve of the election.”

The decision “is a blow to the many eligible Virginian voters who were unlawfully purged and will now face uncertainty about their ability to cast a ballot that will be counted,” Snow, who is counsel for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement.

They are complacent for a reason. There have been a few threads on here asking you lefties for reasons to actually vote for Harris and they can't come up with any reasons other than she isn't Trump.
