Gov. Youngkin sounds off on ‘stunning ruling’ to reinstate removed individuals to voter rolls

Virginia’s efforts to create a secure election hit a snag when a judge ordered individuals removed from voter rolls to be returned.

Election Day is coming up, and US District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles is siding with President Joe Biden’s administration and other private groups that challenged efforts to remove potential non-citizens from Virginia’s voter rolls. The judge found that the efforts violated federal law which dictates that a systematic removal of registered voters cannot be conducted within 90 days of any federal election.

“When it is within the 90-day period, it must be done on an individualized basis,” Judge Giles explained, adding that the timing of Virginia’s effort “left no room for individualized inquiry.”

Youngkin went on Fox News to decry the “stunning ruling” to “reinstate individuals who have self-identified as non-citizens back on the voter rolls.”

“Even more astounding is the vast majority of these folks have presenting immigration documents confirming that they were non-citizens, and we recently had that verified by federal authorities,” he continued, incredulous.

It’s stunning that, just 11 days before the presidential election, a federal judge is ordering Virginia to reinstate individuals who have self-identified as noncitizens on the voter rolls. Virginia is prepared to take this to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed! pic.twitter.com/fyjlWBUlnQ

X users reacted to the story, with some urging Youngkin to disregard the federal judge’s ruling and continue removing non-eligible voters from the rolls.

People voted for you so you would do the right thing at a time like this. Ignore the judge. Obeying the law of the commonwealth is your sworn duty.

I urge Virginia to NOT follow the ruling..that’s what the DEMONCRATS DO! Example: Obiden continues to forgive student loan debt even though SCOTUS ruled it illegal and in violation of the law! Fuck the federal government! Don’t put ANY of those SELF-IDENTIFIED NON-CITIZENS back…

Like I said in your other posting:

Grow a pair. Challenge the judge to order the military to enforce his unconstitutional ruling. Leave them off the voter rolls.

That judge is on the take. Why else would a federal judge allow this? It’s against the law!

Just don’t do it. You have no obligation to follow an unjust ruling that circumvents the Law. Judges swear the below oath:
“I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich; and that I will faithfully…

Do not stop fighting this. We are all behind you 100%. Do not let democrats steal VA like they are trying to do in other states!

Ignore that judge and deal with it after the election.

You either work for the people or you work for the system. Which is it?
