RICHMOND, VA— Governor Glenn Youngkin, after being notified this afternoon 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.” |

Stand firm, Governor! Only citizens with an ID vote! That’s my Virginia and that’s my America!! I cannot believe how blatant these schemes have become. We need to restore our constitutional republic and rule of law all across this great nation!

I lived in Europe for 2 years. You couldn’t go from country to country without a passport yet the Democrats want to throw out every form of identification to get around America. Go Governor Youngkin!

When I first registered to vote, many years ago 50 + years ago, I presented documentation to the resistor to be placed in the rolls. No UD was needed at the polling place.
Many from my parents time only had family bibles to establish their birth.I recall one major retirement system recognizing such as proof.
Now we have a governor who bought up property around his resident & thus qualifying for real estate tax relief! Perhaps he is judging purported actions of others by his own in order to save taxes, to judge others.
And with elections just around the corner!

The Democrats will do anything to win; we have seen it before, but telling a state that it can’t enforce a law, especially one signed by a Democrat governor, really is unbelievable! Bringing in all of these immigrants was obviously for votes. I wonder how many other states are being forced to accept votes from illegals? The governors of all the states should get together and form an alliance.
This shows that they are getting nervous that Kamala can’t win without cheating.

I think that Biden /Harris need to be impeached immediately . They are trying to deny real americans the right to vote so that their illegal nasty immigrants can vote for these two marxist communists to take over this country and turn it into another 3rd world shithole.

I agree with you 100 percent. Do what you need to do to make voting fair and not having the democrats cheat like they want too. Non citizens are not allowed to vote like dead people are not allowed to vote.

Federal Democrats are using any means to win the White House even if it is wrong.

I am very proud of governor Younkin for being a fantastic governor and person, he is well on his way of making Virginia great again, I only wish he could run for a 2nd and 3d term as our governor. But his LT governor Winston Sears will also be a great governor.

These whack jobs have completely lost their minds. NO one that is NOT an AMERICAN CITIZEN should be ALLOWED to VOTE in ANY STATE in AMERICA.

The governor is practicing racism. The only way for republicans to win is cheating.

So the Biden/Harris folks want the illegal votes. Virginians don’t play that crap.

Thank you Governor Youngkin, for standing up to this crooked administration. Their intensions are absolutely ridiculous. Only US citizens are allowed to vote, and with PROPER IDENTIFICATION!!! We all show ours!!!

The point is not to let illegals vote – no one wants that. The point is that legal voters are being purged from the lists. Everyone wants legal voters to be able to vote – except maybe those people who need to cheat to win. Not naming names, just saying.

Why not just let the entire country of Russia or Chine or the Iranians vote. Hell, let’s save Americans the trouble
Democrats if allow to rule will destroy America as we have known it. What morons
