He described that decision as, quote, a victory for common sense and election fairness. He also expressed appreciation for Attorney General Jason Meares’s role in safeguarding U.S. citizen rights.

Now, this case centers on whether Virginia’s process for removing voters violates the quiet period that’s mandated by the National Voter Registration Act, or the NVRA. Now, that requires states to halt systematic voter roll maintenance within 90 days of the federal election. Virginia just so happened to do it on the 90th day, which caused the blue-haired frickazoids to melt down.
Kamala Harris’s Department of Justice then sued the state of Virginia over its removal process claiming that the state’s actions infringe on federal law, while Governor Yunkin argues the process is individualized, not systematic, and it’s legally compliant. After the Supreme Court’s decision, the Justice Department reaffirmed its stance stating it initiated the lawsuit to protect every eligible citizen’s voting rights and express disagreement with the United States Supreme Court’s order. Well, that’s hogwash. Virginia’s maintenance program, which has been going on every year for the last 18 years, was launched in August, like I said on the 90th day, and it matched the state’s list of self-identified non-citizens, people who said, I am not an American citizen, I am from another country.
Well, how did they find that out? Well, they got that from the Department of Motor Vehicles information against these registered voters. So if people said, I want a driver’s license, I’m not an American, well, they cross-referenced those names on the voters’ roles and said, well, if you’re not an American for a license, then you’re not an American for a federal election either. Now, those who identified as non-citizens received notices that their voter registration could be canceled unless they provided proof of citizenship within 14 days. These 1,600 people didn’t. Now, the Justice Department contends that these removals occurred too close to the November 5th election, violating the NVRA’s quiet period, like I said.
And a federal judge in Alexandria agreed, recently ordering, just a couple days ago, ordering Virginia to stop the removals and reinstate the 1,600 affected registrations. Kamala Harris’s Department of Injustice also raised concerns that some eligible voters may have been mistakenly removed without adequate notice. In its Supreme Court petition, Virginia’s Attorney General Jason Miyares argued that the NVRA does not cover self-identified non-citizens and asserted the state’s DMV-led approach is individualized rather than systematic. Supporters of Virginia’s position include 26 states. Yes, 26 attorneys general from other American states filed an amicus brief claiming the removals are individualized and that the Harris Justice Department’s interpretation of the NVRA is overly broad, excluding non-citizens.
And part of that institution leaves decisions about voter qualifications to the people of Virginia. And the people of Virginia have decided that non-citizens are not permitted to vote. That’s in state elections, but it’s actually illegal for a non-citizen to vote in a federal election, except they don’t want to remove those people from the voting rules for federal elections rather. Hmm, you smell it, I smell it. It’s getting thick. Let me know what you think down below. You guys and gals are the judges on this Supreme Court jumping in good or bad. What do you think? Should states be able to remove self-proclaimed non-U.S.
citizens from voting rules? Or should we just let everybody and their mom and their cat or anybody identifies as a voting person? Could be maybe the dog identifies as a voter this month. We have to give a ballot to a dog. Might be funny now, but it’s probably coming. Do you think everybody should vote? I don’t. You’re not a U.S. citizen. Piss off. But that’s just me. Let me know what you think down below. Appreciate y’all. I’ll bring you more information with just a few other states with some chicaneries going on here as people are starting an early voting process.
And I’ll see you next time. [tr:trw].
