Biden DOJ Targets Virginia for Removing Noncitizens from Voter Rolls
Biden DOJ Targets Virginia for Removing Noncitizens from Voter Rolls

With Election Day quickly approaching, the stakes are higher than ever. And while Americans are struggling with rising crime, inflation, and an out-of-control border, the Biden administration is once again focusing on something no one saw coming.

Instead of tackling the nation’s pressing issues, Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has turned its attention to Virginia in a new and controversial lawsuit that has everyone talking.

In what seems like another political distraction, the DOJ is going after Virginia’s Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin for a decision that is sure to spark outrage on both sides of the aisle. With less than a month until the election, all eyes are on the key battleground states, and Virginia is no exception. But while most voters are worried about the economy or national security, Biden’s DOJ is focusing on something else entirely.

As the clock ticks down to Election Day, Governor Youngkin has been working tirelessly to ensure a smooth and fair process for voters in Virginia. Like any responsible leader, Youngkin is keen on making sure the voter rolls are accurate and that every eligible vote counts. But you won’t believe what’s gotten him and the state of Virginia in hot water with the Biden administration.

DOJ’s Latest Move Against Virginia

In typical Democrat fashion, the Biden DOJ has thrown a wrench into Virginia’s efforts to clean up its voter rolls. The lawsuit, which comes at a critical time, is raising eyebrows across the country as Americans wonder why the DOJ is targeting a state that’s trying to protect election integrity. If you thought the administration was focused on helping the American people with real issues, think again.

Rather than addressing the nation’s problems—like the border crisis, economic instability, or rising crime—Biden’s administration is spending its time and resources going after a state for its election practices. You can almost hear the collective sigh of disbelief.

So, what’s the big deal in Virginia? What has caused the DOJ to step in with a lawsuit just weeks before the 2024 election? Here’s where it gets interesting.

Youngkin’s Push for Fair Elections

Governor Youngkin’s efforts to maintain the integrity of Virginia’s elections have been widely praised by those who believe in free and fair elections. With election day looming, Youngkin has made it a priority to ensure that only eligible voters are included on the state’s voter rolls. After all, it’s common sense that voters should be citizens and properly registered, right? But in today’s political landscape, even common sense can cause controversy.

From Fox News:
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Virginia, alleging that the commonwealth removed noncitizens from its voter rolls too close to Election Day. The agency alleges that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin violated the NVRA when announcing and subsequently carrying out an executive order which required the election commissioner to regularly update the state’s voter lists to remove individuals who have been ‘identified as noncitizens,’ and had not responded to a request to verify their citizenship in 14 days.

Yes, you read that right. Virginia is being sued for removing noncitizens from the voter rolls. Not illegal voters, not eligible voters—noncitizens. Governor Youngkin’s administration followed a perfectly legal process to update the state’s voter rolls, giving people plenty of time to verify their citizenship. If they didn’t respond in time, they were removed from the list.

Biden’s DOJ Goes After Election Integrity

Here’s the kicker: instead of applauding Virginia for ensuring that only eligible citizens are allowed to vote, the Biden administration is suing the state. They claim that removing noncitizens from the voter rolls violated the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) because it happened too close to Election Day. Let that sink in. The DOJ is more concerned about the timing of removing ineligible voters than the fact that noncitizens were on the voter rolls to begin with.

This lawsuit shows the lengths to which Democrats are willing to go to undermine election integrity. Instead of supporting efforts to keep voter rolls clean and ensure every eligible vote counts, they’re attacking a governor who’s doing just that. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is busy avoiding tough questions in softball interviews, and Joe Biden is more interested in handing out free passes to noncitizens than actually protecting the sanctity of our elections.

The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

As Election Day approaches, the question of election integrity becomes more important than ever. Voters want to trust that the process is fair, and that means making sure voter rolls are accurate. Yet here we are, watching the Biden administration sue a state for trying to do exactly that.

This isn’t just a Virginia issue. It’s a national problem that speaks to the broader Democratic strategy. Rather than securing the elections and ensuring that only legal votes count, they’re going after states like Virginia that are working to protect the democratic process. It’s hard not to see this lawsuit as anything other than a political move designed to undermine Republican efforts and keep the voter rolls as bloated as possible.

Once again, Biden’s DOJ shows it’s more interested in political games than protecting our democracy. Instead of supporting efforts to ensure free and fair elections, they’re suing the very people trying to make that happen.

Key Takeaways:

  • Biden’s DOJ Targets Virginia: The lawsuit claims that Virginia’s removal of noncitizens from voter rolls was too close to Election Day, sparking outrage.
  • Governor Youngkin’s Push for Election Integrity: Youngkin’s administration aimed to ensure fair elections by removing ineligible voters, but the Biden DOJ disagrees.
  • The Stakes Are High: With Election Day nearing, this lawsuit raises questions about Democratic priorities and their commitment to election integrity.
