The U.S. Department of Justice said on Friday it sued the state of Virginia for violating the federal prohibition on systematic efforts to remove voters within 90 days of an election.
On Aug. 7, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order requiring the commissioner of Department of Elections to certify that the department was conducting “daily updates to the voter list” to remove, among other groups, people who are unable to verify that they are citizens to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
U.S. citizens who were identified and notified, and did not affirm their citizenship within 14 days would be removed from the list of registered voters, the Justice Department said. It said this practice has led to citizens having their voter registrations canceled ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
“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,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke.
Okay, do Georgia next.
Republicans really hate democracy.
“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”
They make shitty laws and then use those laws and Democrats do nothing to change them or stop them.
It’s called the Ratchet effect. Republicans move everything to the right, dems keep if from moving back left.
14 effing days. many of us have jobs and some other bs paperwork for insurance or licenses and taxes of some kind.
Is the DMV now in charge of customs and immigration?
Or is it just because the DMV doesn’t have locations in areas where the targets of these purges just so happen to be registered?
I don’t know why they need to go this far to be honest. If what I’ve read about polling inaccuracy is to be believed from a pew research article then Kamala has already lost every single swing state because Republicans are refusing to take part in polling in larger and larger numbers so we keep seeing Democrats showing as performing higher than they are in reality…
If she’s tied in some, “ahead” by only .5 in others, and behind by 1.5 in others then in reality she’s more than likely behind by 3+ in each… :(
