Governor Glenn Youngkin Issues Statement on Supreme Court Ruling
RICHMOND, VA— Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement after after the Supreme Court issued its ruling to allow Virginia to keep non-citizens off its voter rolls:
“We are pleased by the Supreme Court’s order today. This is a victory for commonsense and election fairness. I am grateful for the work of Attorney General Jason Miyares on this critical fight to protect the fundamental rights of U.S. citizens. Clean voter rolls are one important part of a comprehensive approach we are taking to ensure the fairness of our elections. Virginians also know that we have paper ballots, counting machines not connected to the internet, a strong chain of custody process, signature verification, monitored and secured drop boxes, and a ‘triple check’ vote counting process to tabulate results. Virginians can cast their ballots on Election Day knowing that Virginia’s elections are fair, secure, and free from politically-motivated interference.”

This really is a victory for commonsense and election fairness. Thank you Governor Youngkin for attempting to curb the cheating.

Thank you Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares for your standing strong in support of fair/legal voting in the Commonwealth. It is hoped that the Supreme Court’s ruling is broad enough to be used as precedence for similar decisions in other states.

This purge was just for show and political points to impress Trump. Why wasn’t he concerned before? Too bad we have to put up with Youngkin for another year. Vote blue.

Thank you Governor for standing up for what’s right!!! Now, ALL those who tried to cheat, should be punished or have their Law license REVOKED!!!!

I commend the governor for on an annual basis, ensuring that people have properly identified themselves. But the law says that anything done within 90 days of a federal election is not appropriate. So the people that you’ve identified may be proper individuals, but you’ve eliminated probably the opportunity for them to actually vote, so this is a lose lose situation. You lose credibility to me for not knowing the law, but you do continue to maintain the integrity of our voting rolls

Awesome victory! If only the laws were more strict in 2020, but I digress. It allowed us to see 4 yrs of Democrat rule in the White House and what an absolute disaster it has been. If not for Biden/Harris Democrats rigging, and thereby winning, the election, we wouldn’t likely have all these people waking up to the lies and corruption in the Democrat party and walking away. Now they see how much better Trump’s first term was compared to the last 4 yrs, and and how badly he’s needed back in the WH to try and undo the damage and destruction that has been done. Everything the Dems say Trump is or will do is literally what they, themselves, are and are currently doing. I pray that all states will join in and pass laws for more clean, fair, trustworthy, and transparent elections so that.Americans can regain their long-lost trust in the political process.

I to believe our soon to be exgovenor did this as a political stunt or he would have done it 6 months ago not exactly 90 days the people that were purged who shouldn’t have been here had their voices silenced with not enough time to fix the problem that most likely was nothing at all or they wouldn’t be on the roll to begin with

I thank Gov. Youngkin for making Virginia’s voting so clean and transparent.

Youngkin is just like Trump,he knew that what he done wrong when he took away the rights of citizens to vote without doing an updated check on their citizenship! Shame on you Youngkin,now you want to act like you’re all about fairness!

This was bs on such a short notice. No time for the potential voter to correct any possible error.

God Bless You Governor Youngkin N To The Supreme Court Honest Elections Thank You All!!!

People might ask why he would wait until within 90 days of the election to do this. It’s probably because there is a concerted effort by democrats to get non-citizens to vote within 90 days of the election.

It’s funnyeveryone is talking about election faud when the republican are running the election boards and polls. SMH

Interesting that the governor and the Supreme Court didn’t say anything about them breaking federal law!

I for one agree with the decision, irrespective of political affiliation. Non citizens should not be on the voting registry anywhere. While there may be errors with the records at DMV, it is an easy solution to fix and to permit valid, properly registered voters to have their voice heard. Thank you Governor Youngkin and Attorney General Miyares for your efforts.

I am so thankful for our Governor and Attorney General. They stand for the rule of law which is a foreign concept to the Democrats. voting is for U. S. citizens only. keep up the good work. Vote RED. save our Republic from the immoral Democrat party.
