It shouldn’t have ever had to go to SCOTUS. Thank our biased DOJ.
Yet another reason the 2 party system is broken. Both are now going to exploit every opportunity to cancel valid votes. Absolutely disgusting. I would vote for a good valid 3rd party of the platform was powering cars with rodent carcasses at this point
I'd like to see the rationale for not following the federal statute.Common sense wins.
Supreme Court reinstates Youngkin’s voter purge order in Virginia
Virginia can cancel more than 1,600 voter registrations the state claims are held by noncitizens in advance of next week’s election, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. The emergency decision marks …thehill.com
Virginia did follow the federal statute. There is no systemic cleaning of voter registrations.
There's only one Party that doesn't care if non-citizens vote.
Why didn't the DoJ care about it from 2009, when the Virginia law was put into effect - and used - until now?
So oversight at the Federal level is cool now? Or is it just cool in this situation? Its tiring keeping up with all this. And this is another area that shouldn't be a GOP/DNC issue. Voting should be accessible, encouraged, fair, and regulated and verifiable. And that should be the case equally in rural Texas as it is in downtown Detroit. The efforts on both sides to change districts, make certain ways to vote easier and/or more difficult, discredit legitimate and verifiable votes...its ridiculous.
You asking me to prove it wasn't?
What? The DoJ is the one who interfered in a state election.
There’s also only party who tried to overturn a valid election with a 3rd world state coup. Tomato tomata
I don’t know anything about the opinion or the issue.
I don’t either Marv. You know coh will tho!!
Maybe @Mark Milton would know what made the Virginia removal of voters non-systemic. He is the type to actually read the book club readings. As embarrassing as that fact is, it might mean something here.
We don't even know if it is non-stsyemic. Scotus issued an unsigned order with no explanatory text. Anyone who claims they know why they ruled as they did is speculating.
Not really sure. The only thing I can think of is that in Georgia they did an audit of 8 million registered voters and found out that only 20 were registered non-citizens. I also think Virginia gives people who are removed from the voter role to register in person. Maybe that turned out to be an example of how it couldn’t be non-systemic?
Virginia's statute has been in force for 18 years and has been enforced by multiple Governor's including Tim Kain. It has easily and unanimously survived all challenges to it. It is settled law.
No, Virginia is not going to change the national outcome for president. I think the issue is that Virginia has the ability to remove from the voter roll those who are suspected of not being citizens. Of course non-citizens cannot vote. The term "suspected" is certainly subject to potential abuse. I do not know if they notify the voters they have been removed, and if they do, would it be timely enough to register/provide proof prior to the election being over.
MtM, here is an explanation concerning same-day registration in Virginia. Sounds as if the emphasis is to assist voters to both register and vote. Does require filling out a form with the help of a Registration Clerk.
The statute has been on the books since 2006. The executive order is new and adds the words "suspected".
That is one. Va also had two more failsafe provisions.
they didn't challenge the statute. They challenged the executive order that now included the term "suspected" of being non-citizens.
