The Biden-Harris administration is trying to block what some are referring to as a "common sense" election integrity law. 

The administration's Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the Associated Press, has brought a lawsuit against Virginia looking to stop a law that looks to remove noncitizens from the state's voter rolls.

The obvious question everyone has to ask here is why the administration wants to stop the enforcement of a law designed to protect the integrity of our elections. We'll leave that for you to answer.

As we will see, Virginia, led by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), is fighting back.

Here's what is going on:

To make a long story short, Virginia is trying to clean up its voter rolls but the Biden-Harris administration is alleging that, in the process, the state is removing eligible voters.

The Associated Press reports:

The lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria says that an executive order issued in August by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin requiring daily updates to voter lists to remove ineligible voters violates federal law. The National Voter Registration Act requires a 90-day “quiet period” ahead of elections for the maintenance of voter rolls.

It is not just Virginia that the Biden administration is going after.

This same situation is playing out in other states as well.

This is no overstating the fact that this could have a big impact on the 2024 election.

"Common sense"

Youngkin recently appeared on the Fox News Channel's Fox News Sunday, where he criticized the Biden-Harris administration for trying to block the election integrity law.

There, he said:

This is based on a law that was signed into effect in 2006 by then-Democrat Gov. Tim Kaine. And it starts with a basic premise that when someone walks into one of our DMVs and self-identifies as a noncitizen, and then they end up on the voter rolls, either purposely or by accident, that we go through a process . . . an individualized process based on that person’s self-identification as a noncitizen to give them 14 days to affirm they are a citizen and if they don’t, they come off the voter rolls. And by the way, they have one last safeguard, which is they can come and same day register and cast a provisional ballot.

Youngkin went on to note that even the DOJ, back in 2006, approved this law and that it was only recently that his state decided to go forward with it. That, however, is when the Biden-Harris administration stepped in.

Youngkin said:

Now, 25 days last week before the election, a Justice Department decides they are going to bring suit after this law has been in effect for 18 years, administered by Democrat and Republican governors . . . And, now, all of a sudden, when Virginia is getting tight, it launches a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Virginia when we are trying to make sure that citizens vote, not noncitizens.

Youngkin concluded, "It is common sense [that] elections in the United States should be decided by citizens.”
