Federal Judge Orders Virginia to Place Non-Citizens Back on Voter Rolls

Voter Registration

A federal judge in Virginia on Friday ordered  the commonwealth to place non-citizens back on its voter rolls.

The judge ruled that removing the registered voters from the rolls violated federal law, WRIC reported.

The Justice Department sued Virginia earlier this month over removing non-citizens from its rolls ahead of the Nov. 5 elections.

The suit Friday was against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia State Board of Elections, and the Virginia Commissioner of Elections for allegedly violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.

The NVRA prevents states from using systematic programs to remove ineligible voters from voter rolls within 90 days of a federal election, according to the DOJ.

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals–who self-identified themselves as noncitizens–back onto the voter rolls,” Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin said in a statement. “Almost all these individuals had previously presented immigration documents confirming their noncitizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities.”

    This must end. Illegal immigrants are not citizens of the USA. How many will vote in Nashville? Time to clean house.

    The response by the state should be simple and unequivocal: “No.”

    This federal black-robed tyrant is aiding and abetting voter fraud.
