...and yet, same day registration, along with the ability to fill out a provisional ballot, ensures that not ONE legal voter would be disenfranchised.

And, that's most likely why SCOTUS went ahead and allowed the purge to continue.

It won't matter anyway, Trump will lose the election. It's rigged, right?

I do not disagree with the SC decision. i agree with the Virginia legislation. if the State of Virginia has more stringent laws and rule to assure that all citizens can be assured of their vote being made and counted then i say more power to Virginia.

However, I disagree with the assumption here and else where that the intent of the Federal law is to subvert the election process by allowing non-citiizens on to the voting lists. This is not the case. The federal law was to allow citizens who had been incorrectly removed, sufficient time to re register prior to the elections. If Virginia has a better law then go for it. Also if this improvement by state law is indeed better to assure all citizens their voting rights then it is my hope that all states follow suit, and somewhere in this sluggish process the federal laws might follow along.

The purge isn't "continuing". It's already done and will remain DONE. The names will not be added back onto the rolls. 😀

That's BS and you know it. The Democrats have been pushing for years to allow illegals to vote. They claim having to show ID is racist, but that doesn't stop them requiring an ID to buy alcohol, cigarettes, drive a car.....the list goes on.

What's the point of even having one ?

Why not just do away with them entirely if it's so racist ?

What's racist about having to show ID because of ones color or ethnic origins, not that EVERY person at the polls need to show ID. Do all people need to show ID at the polls or is this an option left to the poll workers?

I know this old conservative claim that the Dems are having illegal aliens vote. Yet, I have yet to find any proven cases of this happening other than as reported by partisan political agendists. All I could find was rare cases where this has been proven.

It's updated daily, according to Governor Youngkin's executive order.

. Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, on Aug. 7 announced a new policy for culling from Virginia's official voter registration list people "unable to verify that they are citizens," with daily data sharing among state agencies.

Two things.

1: If what I heard was true and these people self identified as illegals on the form, what purge its what should happen.

2: Any state with a real id already has all the data needed to balance the legality of a would be voter right?

It's only 1600 rando people who self-identified as "not citizens" on the registration form. Not really a big deal, other than to set legal precedent.

Which makes the question of why this was an issue even larger. Pearl clutching I suspect.

I just wanted to make the truth clear, so the muddy "muh feelz" don't overshadow the facts. The opposition to this appears to be democrats angry that an avenue for cheating was closed. Why election integrity is not a bipartisan thing baffles me, unless one side digs the cheat.

In PA of course. Color me shocked.

My husband said just this AM, "I give him six months at best."

My college aged son has friends at UNC (I think it was UNC. May have been NCU) who were told they could use their student ID to vote.

I'm gonna keep saying it. Most corrupt state in the nation. We show this to everyone every election.

What became of the supposed poll workers telling lines in Pennsylvania to go home mid-day on an early voting day? Lancaster I believe

Most of the state government and LE is run by Democrats, so likely nothing.

Same team.

NOTE the word ''' ALLEGED

Over 1,000 of them are confirmed. DOJ and the lower courts still wanted VA to restore them to the rolls. They were blatantly trying to enable voter fraud. No amount of your usual spin will change these facts. Nice try though.

And any legit voters who were accidentally caught up in this can still vote. Zero downside to removing them.

Keep arguing in favor of voter fraud. It's a great look for you.

If they are removed incorrectly, they can file a complaint.

And they can still vote on a provisional ballot. They were all made aware of that. Not a single legitimate voter will be unable to vote because of this. The ONLY thing that was stopped was voter fraud, which is why the Democrats are so mad.

The Biden-Harris administration wanted to send a message to their base that they stand with illegals voting. That's all this was.

They likely knew they'd get slapped down by the SCOTUS and it probably won't even matter in VA. This was all about optics.

An American administration openly wanted to make sure everyone knew they supported voter fraud. That's how far gone we are.

Who cares. If you are not able to vote they should be able to remove you at anytime.

The only voting suppression I have seen in this cycle is the fact polling stations are closing early and that is based on record GOP and Independent turnout.

Every cycle. Early voting is almost always Democratic leaning. Early voting exploded after 2000. They were never going to have that issue again. It jumped 50% during COVID. Want to discuss again how they stole it?

In the 2000 election, 14% of ballots were cast before Election Day. For 16 years the percentage increased steadily—21% in 2004, 31% in 2008, 33% in 2012, and 40% in 2016—before jumping to 69% in 2020

In 2020 there were 101 million early votes.
Right now, there just under 60 million early votes.

That is quite a difference. The other part, is that Republicans and Democrats are literally tied for early voting.

2024 Results
Harris - 76 million votes
Trump - 84 million votes 52%

Trump will be adding 10 million voters and Harris will lost votes.

You accuse me of spinning yet you yourself have provided no proof when you say

Over 1,000 of them are confirmed. DOJ and the lower courts still wanted VA to restore them to the rolls. They were blatantly trying to enable voter fraud.

Nowhere in the article you provided is there mention that there was ANY conformation of that many non-citizens being on the voting rolls OR that the Biden administration was attempting voter fraud though the DOJ or any where else.

What this whole issue offers is a look into the struggle between federal law and state law.

We know that the 90 period called the ''quiet period'' was established to allow any citizen a timely period to reestablish themselves on the voting lists after having been purged automatically by registration standards. True or not true.

We also know that that period was violated by the State of Virginia when it purged 1600 people from the rolls within that 90 day period. True or not true?

We also know that when the state rules and federal rules came into conflict, several court cases ruled in favor of the fedreal rules but then when it went to the SC, the SC came down in favor of the state rules.

The state rules pointed out that their rules did not violate the fed rules because in Virginia there are voting rules that supersede the federal rules due to them having abundant recourse for citizens to reestablish themselves on the voting lists in a much shorter period of time than the 90 days allowed by the fed rules. True or not true?

Here, I agree with the SC decision. You do as well I think.

But back to my original post concerning the headline. Nowhere have you provided any backing for your assumption that this was a attempt to fill the voting rolls of Virginia with non-citizens. Any proof of that, as far as the value of this thread is concerned is totally lacking. You seem to infuse the entire situation with your own biases or to put it another way, your own spin.
