Griffith Statement on Voter Roll Ruling

U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles issued a decision today that orders the Commonwealth of Virginia to reinstate the names of noncitizens back on Virginia’s voter rolls, reversing Governor Youngkin’s decision to remove them. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“Governor Youngkin was right to take these names off Virginia’s voter rolls, and if they were mistakenly taken off, Virginia’s same-day voter registration rules would allow them to register again and cast a vote.

“In 2020, the DOJ never challenged the Democratic states that changed their election rules, despite conflicts with federal time limit laws. The DOJ pursuit of Governor Youngkin’s action seems to be because of his party affiliation.”
