It was done. The USDOJ ordered Virginia to put 1600 people who identified as non citizens back on the voter rolls. Because it was done inside the 90 days before an election. They were removed August 7th. I rough counted the calendar and I get 91 days.
1,600 people who identified as non-citizens at some point in the past, in some cases many, many years ago. The way this was done would remove franchise from anyone who had gained citizenship after visiting the DMV at any point. That is potentially a lot of people.
It does bring up a very good question though; why would a Republican governor conduct these illegally broad voter purges this close to an election?
A large number of suspicious voter registration applications were dropped off at the county elections office near Monday's deadline, county officials said. An investigation by the district attorney's office found incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names and names that did not match Social Security information.
Adams said her investigators found problems with 60% of the registrations they have so far reviewed. She did not say how many of the 2,500 registrations had been investigated. She said applications came from people living in the city, as well as Columbia, Elizabethtown, Akron, Ephrata, Stevens and Strasburg.
Eh, it's only 2,500 so far in a State with razor thin polls.
That may have a pay to view but there are other sources of the same info.

The law required officials to count absentee ballots received by mail up to five days after Election Day.
A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sided with the Republican National Committee, the Mississippi Republican Party and other plaintiffs who had challenged the law. They had argued that the state had effectively extended each election beyond the date set by federal law.
The defendants, including Mississippi’s secretary of state, countered that although all votes must be cast by Election Day, states were free to take longer to receive and count the votes. In a written opinion, the judges disagreed.

Yeah, right. Wait till after the election, . There was a lot of distrust in the way the 2020 election was carried out. So much so that citizens protested at the Capitol to buy time for legal examination of the procedures. It was not an insurrection. It was not to overturn an election.
The Virginia action has built in safeguards. All would be allowed to vote. Suspect voter registrants could vote provisional and their vote would be counted upon verification.

Do you see that as the only alternative? Could they not have done this 100 days before the election? They do regular purges...why did this one have to be positioned so close to the election?

Dude, they assaulted 140 police officers, physically broke into the capital, then pooped on desks, and peed all over the place. Many brought flexicuffs and weapons with them when they broke in. That's not a protest, and it's not a legitimate or legal way to buy time. That's an absolutely wild claim.
You'd have to find backing for the claim that their demands on Mike Pence would have been legal, since there is a broad consensus -and historical precedent- that shows otherwise.

voter suppression is a RWNJ tradition
it is the only path to victory for them
if they can't cheat to win by a gimmick
they have no chance as there are to few of the deluded

The DOJ's reason for suing Virginia is because it was done inside 90 days before the election. I counted it being done 91 days before the election. I guess weekends do not count.
My bet would be on Virginia winning the suit.

he only needs 10,000 more each in several states but that was 4 years ago
the rump will lose by far more this time
so you need to find far more voters
How about the registrars and Secretary of State do their jobs and validate the voter rolls with DHS or the State Department's database of U.S. Citizens?
Clearly the honor system is not working. This guy was only caught because he had a guilty conscious, called the county clerk and asked that the illegal ballot that he cast be removed. He showed that anyone with a student ID can register and vote regardless of their actual citizenship status. Pinky promise you are a citizen and here is your ballot.
When I was a young child, I lived in post WW2 Germany. No one ever said NAZI or Hitler. Never. No one wanted to.
When I returned to the USA, no one ever said NAZI or Hitler, for any reason. The horrors that the Reicht had done to humanity were still fresh in the minds of everyone that survived the war, civilian or soldier; European or American.
The people of the younger generations have no respect for what true evil really is, and what their forefathers fought and destroyed.
What has happened to America that people are using these terms to describe a political opponent, and especially someone who has held the office?
And I and my friends are called deplorable and garbage because we disagree with some power hungry politicians view? They should look inward to see the real garbage and depolorability.
Investigations into potential fraud in voter registration applications in three Pennsylvania counties have become fodder for online misinformation, including from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Who dropped off the forms in question?
Lancaster County officials have not disclosed who they suspect is responsible. In a text exchange with The Associated Press, Wheeler attributed the documents that York County received to Field+Media Corps, which she said was “acting on behalf of” the Everybody Votes Campaign. Everybody Votes is a nonpartisan national organization that promotes voter registration.
The Everybody Votes campaign—the largest and most corrupt charitable voter registration effort in American history—may have decided the 2020 presidential election and could decide 2024. Commissioned by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, funded by the Democratic Party's biggest donors, and coordinated with cutthroat Democratic consultants, the Everybody Votes campaign used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of non-white swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote for a 2020 presidential win. It worked.
Our exclusive research reveals how a little-known organization called the Voter Registration Project (VRP) leveraged connections with billionaire private foundations, Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother, and foreign billionaires with a history of breaking U.S. election law to raise $190 million for the Everybody Votes campaign and register 5.1 million people.
Using data from leaked copies of the campaign’s secret plans, as well as 2020 exit polls, our researchers have discovered that the VRP’s 5.1 million new registrations provided Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with somewhere between 1 million to 2.7 million votes across eight specially chosen swing states during the 2020 election. If the state-by-state projections of the campaign’s Democratic consultants held true into 2020, the Everybody Votes campaign’s “massive registration surge” would have provided Democrats more votes than the total margins of victory in Arizona,
The problem with the graphic is that it shows all states not requiring voter ID and, states she won or lost. It does not show, states she lost that did have a voter id law of some kind.
Correlation (and/or lack of it) does not equal causation..

a bullet ballot ONLY has a president vote without any others normally a few vote that way under 1% in many states
BUT EVERY SWING STATE HAD HUGE % OF BULLET BALLOTS IN 2024 AND ALL FOR THE RUMP
ELON OR THE RUSSIANS DID IT LIKELY ELON PAID THE RUSSIANS TO DO IT
THE Gop CONNED SWAMP DID IT "Ok. Factcheck Karens of Spoutable. I have just finished an AMA over at Reddit u /Spoonamore. And while it was going on, Elon's Xwitter put a Flag on my account, which I'm not sure what it means... AND..."
"Code security folks confirm the existence of a hardcoded backdoor password, "dvscorp08!", in all Dominion Tabulation (?) machines."
"Uhm. So. It appears #Russian state supported #hacking gangs are **** -talking each other about which team was more important in the successful hacking of #America 's #Democracy ."
"I did an AMA on Reddit. u /Spoonamore. Someone just added five pages of excerpt from #Kamala 's book discussing #hackable voting machines, complicit US politicians and the risk #Russia would use this weakness to corrupt upcoming elections."
