As election day approaches, voters are left with that familiar feeling that the election is anything but fair and secure…
A federal judge just issued an order to restore more than 1,500 people, including self-identified noncitizens, back on to Virginia voter rolls.
That’s right, a federal judge ruled in favor of allowing illegal votes to count in a Presidential election…
Let that sink in…
U.S. district judge Patricia Giles made the ruling.
Anyone care to guess who she was appointed by?
That’s right, Joe Biden…
Needless to say, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is already fighting this.
BREAKING: US judge orders Virginia to restore voters removed from rolls, restoring access for thousands https://t.co/LCcO4gJWFp

Fox News reports:
A federal judge on Friday ordered Virginia to halt its removal of potential non-citizens from state voter rolls, a decision expected to restore the voting rights to some 1,600 residents ahead of Election Day.
U.S. Judge Patricia Giles issued a preliminary injunction Friday to reinstate all voters that had been removed from state voter rolls in the state in the last 90 days, finding that the removals had been in fact “systematic,” not individualized, and were thus a violation of federal law.
The news comes just weeks after the Department of Justice sued Virginia over its program, arguing the removals were conducted too close to the Nov. 5 elections and violate the National Voter Registration Act– a federal law that requires states to halt all systematic voter roll maintenance for a 90-day “quiet period” before an election.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin responded to the news, saying that he would immediately petition the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and even go to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
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. https://t.co/QwloK1Sxr4

WUSA9 has more on the issue at hand:
Virginia’s Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, issued an executive order in August requiring daily checks of DMV data against voter rolls to identify noncitizens.
State officials said any voter identified as a noncitizen was notified and given two weeks to dispute their disqualification before being removed. If they returned a form attesting to their citizenship, their registration would not be canceled.
In media interviews, Youngkin has questioned the Justice Department’s motives for filing the lawsuit.
“How can I as a governor allow noncitizens to be on the voter roll?” Youngkin asked rhetorically during an appearance of Fox News Sunday.
Virginia’s Republican attorney general, Jason Miyares, issued a statement after Friday’s hearing, criticizing the ruling.
“It should never be illegal to remove an illegal voter,” he said. “Yet, today a Court – urged by the Biden-Harris Department of Justice – ordered Virginia to put the names of non-citizens back on the voter rolls, mere days before a presidential election. The Department of Justice pulled this shameful, politically motivated stunt 25 days before Election Day, challenging a Virginia process signed into law 18 years ago by a Democrat governor and approved by the Department of Justice in 2006.”

Wow.
A judge just ruled that Virginia cannot remove non-citizens from the voter roles.
This should be criminal.
ILLEGAL ALIENS CANNOT VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS!

The US Gov't. has sued Virginia and a Judge agrees that self identified Non-Citizens should remain on the voter registration rolls and be allowed to vote.
This is the single greatest threat to our democracy, despite what the news media tells you.

Your only obligation is to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The federal judge has no legitimacy here.
