Virginia's Gov. Glenn Youngkin Issues Statement on Noncitizen Voting Lawsuit Filed by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice

[Zincwarrior]

The Constitution allows non-citizens to vote?

Naturalized citizens, yes.

 

[Zincwarrior]

And in big cities give them fewer voting machines to cause the long long lines in wait to vote.

And then screw up the early voting and mail in voting. Tricksy!*

*Certain Democratic states like Illinois were known for doing similar.

 

[Lisa558]

Naturalized citizens, yes.

Then those are citizens. The question was whether the Constitution allows non-citizens to vote.

Any person who checks “not a U.S. citizen” on the jury questionnaire should be removed from the voter roles. Last I heard, the Dems in the liberal part of VA who work in the justice area were refusing to turn the names over to the people in charge of voter rolls.

IOW, the libs were protecting the people who said they were non-citizens from losing the ability to vote.

This is why there shouldn't be voter registration as we currently know it for U.S. elections.

Maybe Putin and the Chinese President can have their citizens vote in our elections.

 

[Meathead]

Naturalized citizens, yes.

Naturalized citizens are not non-citizens. I am quite sure that they are not removed from rolls in VA or anywhere else.

Maybe Putin and the Chinese President can have their citizens vote in our elections.

If Maduro can do it with Harris's Venezuelan thugs, I guess Putin and Xi can too.

I wouldn't say that at all. Thats why the 90 day rule is in place. If there are mistakes, they can be rectified.

 

[WorldWatcher]

No.

Non registration as we know it now does not mean non-US citizens allowed to vote.

Eliminating the current model of voter registration actually make it more secure for citizen only voting.

No.

How about requiring an ID for voting?

 

[WorldWatcher]

How about requiring an ID for voting?

Changing subject from what I mentioned.

However, fine by me, I fully support State ID's and Voter ID. States should issue it for free (when not used for another purpose) and have an Ombudsman program to assist and make final determinations in case of an issue.

But that does nothing for registration. The current model of registration is about where to vote, Voter ID is about proving identify when voting (not eligibility).

How about requiring an ID for voting?

I just heard that Newsome actually BANNED election workers for even asking for an ID! These leftists aren’t even trying to hide what they are doing.

 

[Zincwarrior]

How about requiring an ID for voting?

How does that stop noncitizens? This is a question not a criticism, and I live in a state with such a requirement now.

 

[White 6]

Doin' right by Virginia voters has no time limit.

And Federal law, makes no allowance for a state's partisan desire to get people off their voter rolls, within 90 days of election. What was the state doing the 3 years and 9 months?

And it real News not a PRess release:

https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2024-10-11/us-justice-dept-sues-virginia-for-violating-federal-election-law

"The U.S. Department of Justice said on Friday it sued the state of Virginia for violating the federal prohibition on systematic efforts to remove voters within 90 days of an election."

Is it inside 90 days? Yes or No...

yeah, that's the point. The gop can toss voter registration to keep people who have "dem tendencies" from voting. But they aren't supposed to be able to play with it 90 days or less out.

 

[WorldWatcher]

I just heard that Newsome actually BANNED election workers for even asking for an ID! These leftists aren’t even trying to hide what they are doing.

[NOT defending not having Voter ID. I support that.]

What does the California State law say on the matter? It would be inconsistent to have Voter ID requirements for State and Federal office only in selected precincts, that is ripe for abuse.

The State legislature sets the rules.

WW

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

The Commie Constitution allows it.

That would be the Commstitution. Democrat law. Anything that fits the need.

 

[WorldWatcher]

How does that stop noncitizens? This is a question not a criticism, and I live in a state with such a requirement now.

ID's would need to be modified to include voting status.

Some people believe Real ID already does this. But that is a misconception. My Virginia Driver's License isn't Real ID, meaning it doesn't have the star icon showing real ID compliance. (When traveling I show my Global Entry Card or Passport).

A modification to State ID's could be as simple as a Green Check or Red X to indicate voter eligibility. Non-citizens, felons whose franchise has been removed by a court of law would only be eligible for the Red X version.

I looked the other couple dated threads on the subject over and never saw Youngkin's response, so here it is.

RICHMOND, VA— Governor Glenn Youngkin, after being notified that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice was filing a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia, released the following statement:

“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 – a process that starts with someone declaring themselves a non-citizen and then registering to vote.

Virginians – and Americans – will see this for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to attack the legitimacy of the elections in the Commonwealth, the very crucible of American Democracy.

With the support of our Attorney General, we will defend these commonsense steps that we are legally required to take with every resource available to us.

Virginia’s election will be secure and fair, and I will not stand idly by as this politically motivated action tries to interfere in our elections, period.”

Youngkin called it for exactly what it is.

Election interference by dem lawfare.

Spot on!

You have to give them some credit for being fully transparent. They want illegals to vote.
