 this insanity will continue until we loose the 'woke' crowd and their fellow travelers;


Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) laid down the facts for CNN’s Jake Tapper, pushing back on the Justice Department’s recent lawsuit against Virginia’s initiative to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls.

The DOJ recently announced that it is suing Virginia for what it claims is an unlawful purging of non-citizens from the voter rolls, supposedly violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).

According to the DOJ press release:

Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections. The Quiet Period Provision applies to certain systematic programs carried out by states that are aimed at striking names from voter registration lists based on a perceived failure to meet initial eligibility requirements — including citizenship — at the time of registration.

“As the National Voter Registration Act mandates, officials across the country should take heed of the law’s crystal clear and unequivocal restrictions on systematic list maintenance efforts that fall within 90 days of an election,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “By cancelling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate. Congress adopted the National Voter Registration Act’s quiet period restriction to prevent error-prone, eleventh hour efforts that all too often disenfranchise qualified voters. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and the Justice Department will continue to ensure that the rights of qualified voters are protected.”.......more........
