The second phase of early voting in Virginia kicked in with the opening of satellite voting locations today. However, Virginia is dealing with a judge order that appears to violate both Virginia and federal law. Earlier this year, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced the removal of thousands of non-citizens from the voter rolls. A judge’s ruling called for the reinstatement of 1,500 verified non-citizens back to the voter rolls. Even though these individuals were verified to be noncitizens, some media are twisting this as if they were “alleged” to be noncitizens.<\/p>\n

Governor Glenn Younkin’s statement:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“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. Almost all these individuals had previously presented immigration documents confirming their noncitizen status, a fact recently verified by federal authorities.<\/p>\n

“This is a Virginia law passed in 2006, signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, that mandates certain procedures to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, with safeguards in place to affirm citizenship before removal–and the ultimate failsafe of same-day registration for U.S. citizens to cast a provisional ballot. This law has been applied in every Presidential election by Republicans and Democrats since enacted 18 years ago.<\/p>\n

“Virginia will immediately petition the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and, if necessary, the U.S. Supreme Court, for an emergency stay of the injunction.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
